Greater Amman Municipality designates alternative locations for 86 kiosks within the new Al-Mahatta complex project

The Greater Amman Municipality confirmed that it has provided alternative locations for the owners of kiosks affected by the new Al-Mahatta complex project, which it is implementing in partnership with the Ministry of Transport. The project is considered one of the major strategic initiatives within its plan to improve the public transport system, provide more efficient and streamlined transport services, and enhance the city's aesthetic appearance, at a cost of 33 million dinars.

It indicated that it is working to relocate the kiosks affected by the project, totaling 86 out of 190 kiosks, after providing alternative locations for them within a distance of less than 500 meters from their previous sites. These are located within the alternative public transport lines area and the temporary Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) station, while 104 kiosks located outside the project boundaries remain in their original positions. The completion rate for the construction of the alternative kiosks has reached 55%.

The Municipality explained that it has prepared standardized model designs for the kiosks in various sizes (single, double, and quadruple) to meet various commercial uses in accordance with the highest international standards and specifications.

It emphasized that in selecting the alternative kiosk locations, it took into account their proximity to public transport lines that were relocated due to the new Bus Rapid Transit station project, ensuring the continued movement of passengers and users in the vicinity of the kiosks and maintaining commercial activity at the site.

The project, which serves as an integrated transport hub, connects the Bus Rapid Transit buses on the Amman-Zarqa route with the Bus Rapid Transit buses within Amman.

The project, designed in a modern contemporary style, extends over a total area of approximately 45,000 square meters and includes modern facilities equipped with smart mobility systems, elevators, escalators, and integrated services that ensure accessibility for people with disabilities and the elderly.

It is noted that the implementation period for the new Al-Mahatta complex project is two years, and the project site is located in an area witnessing active public transport movement and high pedestrian and vehicle traffic density.
