Streets ahead of the mall

By Michal Palti Ha'aretz 17/11/06

"There's nothing we can do about it - we're not in Europe," sighed the taxi driver. "In Europe they close off a street for a week, turn everything upside down, finish and reopen it." It was noontime one day at the beginning of the month, on Ibn Gabirol Street in Tel Aviv. The cab was crawling from south to north, and the sight was reminiscent of a scene from the film "The Blaumilch Canal": Bulldozers were digging, pipes were strewn about everywhere and clouds of dust were rising. "It's not exactly the boulevard we wanted," notes Nurit Raveh, owner of the Espresso Bar chain, which has a branch on the street, "but it still stands a chance."

Ibn Gabirol, which is being renovated in segments from south to north, has become the main axis of eateries in the city. Indeed, there are those, like chef Zachi Bukshester, who call it "the longest shopping mall in Tel Aviv."

Says Dr. Benny Maor, who is in charge of administration and infrastructure at the Tel Aviv-Jaffa Municipality: "Ibn Gabirol Street is the city's main avenue. A vibrant street where there is an appropriate mix of businesses and residential neighborhoods." According to him, the municipality will widen the sidewalks on each side by a meter, expand the road itself and narrow the traffic islands in the center. In addition, it will refurbish the street's trade-mark arcade - which allows one to walk beneath the buildings and to be protected from rain and sunshine - where the restaurants and eateries are located. It will be painted white and lighting poles will be affixed to it
