You can’t miss the fence around the pipeline area, which is a real eyesore. The only positive thing I can think of is how beautiful the desert will look, inside, during the spring. No cars will damage the seasonal growth. I hope we can at least access it on foot. It would be a real shame not to use – at least the adjacent area – as a walkway for the nicer days of the year. My children and I have had many walks here, and I hope we can continue to do so next winter/spring.
It started late last year.

When they started paving the footpaths last winter, I was disappointed to see no space left for trees and shrubs on the main routes. Over the past two weeks, they’ve dug out the blocks in the middle of the wider paths and set up the borders for plants in the future.
I can’t believe that something this simple is not taken into account the first time round. I am happy however that it wasn’t overlooked altogether.

This was in today’s Al Qabas (daily paper). It’s not as bad as they say: it hasn’t been a year! In fact they’ve made a lot of progress in their first few months. However I have noticed a significant slow down recently.
If anyone has information, please post a comment. I will try to talk to the project manager later this week.
UPDATE 28/3/2010
There are some signs of activity around the area. I haven’t had a chance to visit the project manager – I’m traveling. It’s not as bad as is in the paper!
