"There is no uncertainty. The Municipality has clarified many times that the solution applied is temporary and does not aim to change the original design" Nicosia Municipality said in a written statement.
"The project has not been completed in its entirety. It is expected from the relevant ministries to proceed with the creation of the required institutional framework, so that the system of control of the entry of authorized cars provided for by the photolabelling system can be put into operation," it notes.
As well as the works on Anastasios Leventis Street, which will start in a few weeks, the Municipality adds, are expected to be completed.
It explains that "even in this transitional period, however, the temporary solution seems to achieve the objective of sustainable mobility, which is an absolute priority in the whole project. Recall that a) the 3 lanes for cars were reduced to 1 b) a bus lane was created c) wider, level sidewalks were created d) tree lines were planted e) a number of small squares were created f) the speed limit (20km) was reduced etc."
All the above, apart from the increased sense of pedestrian safety, have upgraded the street functionally and aesthetically.
