The Gzira Local Council today filed its objection to the project submitted by Transport Malta to MEPA concerning traffic routing in the Kappara roundabout zone in Regional Road.

The project plans should be extended so as to include Sliema Road up to the corner with Rue D’Argens in order to prevent the possibility that traffic congestion extends to this area in teh direction towards Gzira and Sliema.

“We feel this project will prejudice the quality of life of residents as well as the value of their private property,” said Gzira Mayor Roberto Cristiano.

“We believe that a better option would be if this project is integrated with the planned road link with Manoel Island,” he said. In this manner, he said,  the projects would be integrated in such a manner so as to minimize the negative impact on the residents and the environment.
