It seems that the Barrakka lift project is going to drag on for many years because of its imposing visual impact on the city's fortifications.

Four different designs were submitted and Mepa is still not satisfied. Therefore, if we want this project to materialise we may have to look to other solutions. I suggest that a shaft be excavated from the Barrakka garden down to ground zero. Lifts in the shaft would have no visual impact.
