Please Mr Mayor

I see King Abdullah has asked the newly appointed Mayor of Amman to make proper plans for the City. I wish him well and think he has got a hard task ahead of him. There are a few pleas I would like to make myself.

1. Stop these monstrous tower buildings in highly built up areas – how on earth can the sewerage/water/electricity/roads networks cope with them??
2. Please make sure that the road planners THINK before they build over-passes and tunnels that start in the middle of the highways instead of at the sides.
3. Get the roads painted with lines that enable drivers to drive more safely – or is that an impossible task?
4. Clear the sidewalks of those horrid fat and low hanging trees that stop people from using them.
5. STOP planting grass everywhere. Tons of water is used to keep it green. What a waste!
6. And what can we do about the huge billboards that are on every roof and available space? Ugly, ugly, ugly. I suppose it all comes down to money again as I presume they are a good earner for the Municipality.

Our city is being laid to waste for the sake of money, money, money. Landowners are being bullied into having their land taken from them and we are left with the consequences.

PLEASE Mr Mayor think, think, think. Don’t be rushed into decisions, think of the future generations.
