"The Municipality" begins the implementation of the fifth phase of the development of the station area

The Greater Amman Municipality announced the start of the implementation of the fifth phase of the development and rehabilitation project for the station area, as part of the comprehensive urban plan to develop the area considering it one of the main entrances to Amman.

The Municipality explained that the fifth phase includes the demolition of a number of buildings located on Al-Jaysh Street at its intersection with Prince Rashid Street («Talou Al-Hashemi»), indicating that the necessary donations, housing and evacuation compensation were provided to the residents and owners of these buildings according to the instructions and based on the decisions of the Amman Municipality Committee.

The Municipality clarified that the buildings adjacent to the demolition site will be evacuated for only three days to preserve public safety, as a general safety committee has been formed to inspect all adjacent buildings before and after the demolition process, affirming that in the event of any damages, the Municipality is committed to compensation according to the rules.

The works of the fifth phase include the implementation of a comprehensive package of traffic improvements, adding another lane to the street, and improving the infrastructure of Prince Rashid Street, including the implementation of a complete network for rainwater drainage, lighting works, the establishment and rehabilitation of sidewalks, paving works, in addition to creating urban spaces that contribute to improving the urban landscape and traffic safety.

The project in this phase aims to link the new extension between Al-Jaysh Street and Prince Rashid Street, which contributes to facilitating movement in the area.

It should be noted that a new street linking between Rafifan Al-Majali Street and Al-Jaysh Street was completed within the same phase, while work is currently ongoing to establish other streets linking the two streets, alongside the work to fully widen Prince Rashid Street.

The Amman Municipality had previously completed four phases of the station area development project, and the project works are proceeding in a well-studied manner in coordination and continuous cooperation with the Station Residents Committee.
