Jerusalem Mayor Discusses Development Plan for King's Garden in Jerusalem
(Ynet News) Ronen Medzini - Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat held a press conference Tuesday to discuss plans for the King's Garden/al-Bustan area, located south of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Barkat said that the plan would benefit all residents. "The area's infrastructure will be upgraded. A neglected area will become a successful area. It will be a win-win situation for all." Some 88 buildings in the al-Bustan neighborhood were constructed without a permit in recent years. Barkat intended to grant permits retroactively to most, in exchange for demolishing 20 houses to make way for an archeological park. In exchange, the evacuated residents will receive permits to rebuild up to four storeys high in the neighborhood's eastern section.
