Jerusalem's municipal planning board presents:
The idea is for the bulk of traffic which runs through Rechavia would be routed to an underground tunnel underneath Ramban Street from Gan Sacher to Gan Ha'Atzmaut -- thereby reducing noise and bringing back some peace and quiet to the neighborhood. The plan includes the tunnel, 2 giant underground parking areas; one by the Presidential Residence and one by the Rechavia Gymnasium High School, as well as recommendations for modifying the Rechavia building code to allow for greater than 4 story buildings in parts of the neighborhood.
Opponents of the idea argue it will allow for the wholesale destruction of classic buildings.
