5.3 FUTURE ROAD SYSTEM PLANNING 5.3.1 Issues CREATS Phase I Final Report Vol. III: Transport Master Plan Chapter 5: URBAN ROAD SYSTEM 5.3 FUTURE ROAD SYSTEM PLANNING 5.3.1 Issues (1) Regional Highway Network The Completion and Extension of the Ring Road Network At the end of July 2002, the Ring Road is basically complete except for the closing of the ring in southwest Giza. It has been a major struggle for the MHUUC how to close the Ring Road since its early days of construction. The alignment of the Ring Road in the southwest link shows that it has been critically difficult to close the link at the Haram area. The MHUUC was planning to extend the Ring Road from Interchange IC22 (see Figure 5.3.1) to the 6th of October Road, however, it was finally cancelled due to the international pressure for protecting the cultural heritage preservation area. The Ministry is now planning to extend the road from IC01 to the 6th of October Road by the plan shown in Figure 5.3.1. It also has a branch link to westward to bypass the traffic from the Ring Road (IC01) to Alexandria Desert Road. Source: JICA Study Team based on the information from GOPP Figure 5.3.1 The Ring Road Extension Plans One of the major functions of the Ring Road, to facilitate the connection to the 6th of October City with the existing urban area, can be achieved with this extension. However, unclosed Ring Road will still remain a problem in the network since 5 - 21 CREATS Phase I Final Report Vol. III: Transport Master Plan Chapter 5: URBAN ROAD SYSTEM north-south traffic demand on the Ring Road at the western part of Cairo remains in an inconvenient condition without direct linkage of the Ring Road. The possibility of closing the Ring Road in this area has several alternatives. The MHUUC is still planning to close the ring with Maryotia St. (IC02-IC21). In this area, it is neither appropriate nor possible to have a viaduct structure from environmental (aesthetic) viewpoint in protecting the view of the Pyramids. Remaining alternatives will be at-grade or underpass (tunnel) structure. At-grade structure, however, will not satisfy the traffic demand or level of service that the Ring Road should be able to offer unless full access control is provided by all of the crossing roads to be in grade separation. This would only be possible by making all of crossing roads to underpass, which seems to be unrealistic. The underpass structure of the Ring Road itself, either by full tunnel or open-box structure, will be the only possible alternative. New Community Development and Regional Road Network The pioneer Egyptian policy of urban expansion in the desert started in 1970s to protect arable land along the Nile and in the Delta from disordered urban sprawl. More than 10 new communities have been planned and constructed during the last 30 years by the policy. Many of these new communities had an objective of having their own economic base to self-sustain their urban activities. Today many private industries are in function in these new cities, and housing units and infrastructure have been built or under construction. The population of these new cities, however, still stays in moderate number, which suggests the implementation of these huge urban planning projects needs a long time. The CREATS estimate of the 2001 population of the three major new communities, their ultimate plans by the GOPP1 and CREATS estimates of the 2022 population (the medium growth scenario) are shown in Table 5.3.1: Table 5.3.1 Population of Four Major New Communities (2001/Ultimate/2022 CREATS Estimate) 2001 Ultimate 2022 New Communities Population Population Plan CREATS Estimate 6th of October/ 200,000 2,000,000 1,170,000 Sheikh Zayed 10th of Ramadan 196,000 1,000,000 580,000 New Cairo 90,000 750,000 700,000 Source: JICA Study Team and GOPP For the transport planning of the Study Area the critical issue will be the right of way for future plans. If the ultimate urban plan necessitates further widening of the existing regional corridors, it is critically important to secure the right of way for these transport plans. Once urban sprawl and unplanned land use activities proceed 1 Improving Long-term Master Plan of Greater Cairo Region, Suggested Strategy for Improving, 1997, GOPP 5 - 22 CREATS Phase I Final Report Vol. III: Transport Master Plan Chapter 5: URBAN ROAD SYSTEM along the existing regional corridor, the development of any new major transport corridor will be extremely difficult. It is important to control the land use of planned new regional transport corridor from a long-term viewpoint. (2) Urban Primary and Secondary Arterial Street Network The exercise of the functional classification of the road network revealed important issues on primary and secondary arterial street network within the Ring Road area. The following are considered as the major issues in the urban primary and secondary development. Firstly, the urban primary and secondary arterial street network within the Ring Road (Figure 5.2.3) shows there are several areas where the primary and secondary arterial network is particularly scarce. These areas are particularly Shobra El Kheima and Matareya/Ain Shams. These northern urbanization of Cairo was formulated by typical urban sprawl, and informal settlement has proceeded. Such informal settlement has caused the urbanization without appropriate primary and secondary arterial street network. Particularly, Matareya/Ain Shams has serious lack of both primary and secondary arterial system. A decent arterial network development for these areas is one of the major issues in the urban road system within the Ring Road. Secondly, some of the access roads to/from the Ring Road are not functioning well. Currently there are 22 interchanges on the Ring Road (Figure 5.3.2). Many of these interchanges are connection facilities with major National and regional roads in GCR. There are, however, also many interchanges/connection points which do not satisfy the expected function due to their poor access roads to the inner urban area. These “poor access interchanges” are particularly Saft El Laban Axis IC (No.3 ), Rod El Farag Axis (No. 5), Bahtem-Ring Road Axis (No. 9), Teraat El Gabal St. (No. 11) and Moasaset El Zakah St. (No. 12). These important access roads should be properly improved so that these designated interchanges can function as it was expected in the design. 5 - 23 CREATS Phase I Final Report Vol. III: Transport Master Plan Chapter 5: URBAN ROAD SYSTEM Source: JICA Study Team based on the information from GOPP Figure 5.3.2 Location Map of the Cairo Ring Road Thirdly, the southwest part of Nasr City has a discontinuity of primary arterial connection due to the military facilities. The lack of primary arterial connection through this area is expected to be one of the major traffic problems in the future as the traffic volume in this area increases. Fourthly, grade separation of intersections has been well developed in all over the urban area, and this effort is still going on. Cairo Governorate is planning to invest LE310 million for grade separation projects, which is 60 % of total new road project budget of LE518 million for the next five years (2002/03 – 2006/07). Qalyobeya and Giza Governorates are also planning to spend LE 44 million (40 % of road project budget) and LE 184 million (51 % of road project budget), respectively. These projects are planned based on the existing congestion and necessity, which are appropriate methodology of planning. As a long-term transport master plan, however, CREATS should be able to propose the policy of future planning for grade separation in the urban area. (3) Future Traffic Demand and Road Capacity Imbalance Although it is critically important to accelerate the public-transport-based transport system in order to satisfy the huge demand increase during the next 20 years, it does not mean the improvement of road capacity can be ignored. CREATS socio-economic forecast results expect that the current number of vehicles in the GCR is 1.05 million vehicles, and it is expected to increase up to 2.5 million in Year 2022. This means GCR will have to accommodate 2.5 times more number of vehicles in the area over the next 20 years. 5 - 24 CREATS Phase I Final Report Vol. III: Transport Master Plan Chapter 5: URBAN ROAD SYSTEM Due to the expected economic growth, the car ownership will increase. Even if the rail-based public transport infrastructure, such as Metro, increases the trip speed of the trips, it is difficult to attract private car owners to shift their trips to public transport, once they have reached to the level of owning their own vehicles. The more congested road condition may discourage the private car owners to use their cars, and it may promote the shift of the modal share from private to public transport. The problem, however, is that the road-based public transport in the mixed traffic will also severely suffer from the traffic congestion on the road. There are some other road users such as cargo traffic, which cannot shift their transport to mass transit. This means that even if the urban transport policy in CREATS is to give higher priority to “people’s mobility” rather than “vehicle’s mobility”, it does not mean the road development can be ignored. On the contrary, the sharp increase in vehicle ownership suggests that substantial increase of road capacity will be indispensable for GCR over the next 20 years. 5.3.2 Approach and Action (4) Primary and Secondary Street Improvements Ring Road Closing on Maryooteya Street Between the possible alternatives for closing the Ring Road in Giza, which are Mansooreya Street (IC01-IC22) or Maryooteya Street (IC02-IC21), the Maryooteya Street has obviously higher advantages in terms of right-of-way.

Phase II Highway Strategies are a starting point in the development and consideration of candidate improvements for the study; they are not recommendations, nor are they the only strategies that will be studied. Phase II strategies are conceptual in nature, and not yet detailed, specific proposals. Strategies considered later in the study during Phase III, as well as those ultimately recommended by the study, may differ considerably from the initial strategies currently under evaluation in Phase II. Specific aspects of these initially proposed strategies may be dropped, carried forward or combined in different ways, depending on the results of the analyses conducted during Phase II. The study is guided by a Purpose and Need Statement, which articulates that the study is to identify transportation and related land use strategies that enhance economic development opportunities and preserve and improve the regional transportation system. Additional information on the study, including the full Purpose and Need Statement, is available at the project website: www.connectingyorkcounty.org.

The main objective of the Project is to contribute to the improvement of the country's wastewater treatment services in one of the major treatment plants in Cairo that has already exceeded its design capacity and to improve the sanitation service level in South of Cairo at Helwan area. The Project for the ‘Expansion and Upgrade of the Arab Abo Sa’ed (Helwan) Wastewater Treatment Plant’ in South Cairo will be implemented in line with the objective of the Egyptian Government to improve the sanitation conditions of Southern Cairo, de-pollute the Al Saff Irrigation Canal and improve the water quality in the canal to suit the agriculture purposes. This project has been identified as a top priority by the Government of Egypt (GoE). The Project will promote efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment in South Cairo and expand the reclaimed agriculture lands by upgrading Helwan Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) from secondary treatment of 550,000 m3/day to advanced treatment as well as expanding the total capacity of the plant to 800,000 m3/day (additional capacity of 250,000 m3/day).

  • 2.5.2 Characteristics of Specific Land Use Categories (1) Commercial
    THE STRATEGIC URBAN DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN STUDY FOR A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE GREATER CAIRO REGION IN THE ARAB REPUBLIC OF EGYPT Final Report (Volume 2) 2.5.2 Characteristics of Specific Land Use Categories (1) Commercial area Commercial areas in GCR can be classified into three basic types: (i) the CBD; (ii) the sub-center which includes the mixed use for commercial/business and residential use; and (iii) major shopping malls such the large size commercial facilities in relatively new urban areas. The CBD is located in downtown areas, where there are mixed-use buildings that were established long ago and partly accommodate shops and stores. The major sub-centers in the main agglomeration are Shobra, Abasia, Zamalek, Heliopolis, Nasr city, Maadi in Cairo governorate and Mohandeseen, Dokki, Giza in Giza governorate. The recent trend following the mid-1990’s can been seen in the construction of shopping malls which are commercial complexes comprising a movie theater, restaurants, retail shops, and sufficient parking space or a parking building attached. These suburban shopping malls are mainly located in Nasr city, Heliopolis city, Maadi, Shobra, and Giza. Source: JICA study team Figure 2.5.3 Location of Major Commercial Areas in main agglomeration (2) Industrial area The following map shows location of concentration of industrial areas in Study area. There are seven industrial areas in NUCs, five industrial areas under governorates, and two public free zones in the study area. The number of registered factories is 13,483 with a total area of 76,297 ha. Among those registered factories, 3 % of factories can be categorized as large-scale which have an investment cost of more than LE10 million, or more than 500 employees.

The northern and southern arms of the roundabout are the dual carriageway A4174. The side-road arms of Wraxall Road Roundabout are Wraxall Road to the west and Tower Lane to the east. A4174/Wraxall Road Roundabout To the north the A4174 continues through the A420 Roundabout that provides access to Kingswood and forms a major arterial route into Bristol. Further north the A4174 continues through the East Fringe to the M32 and the A38 beyond that to the west. The A4174 terminates some 3.6km to the south at Hicks Gate Roundabout at the intersection between the A4174 and the A4 with the latter providing a key strategic route into Brislington and Bristol, to the west, and towards Bath in the east. Wraxall Road Roundabout currently experiences congestion with delays mainly on the side-road arms during the weekday morning peak period of nearly 30 seconds according to journey time data, and delays of over a minute on most approaches during the weekday evening peak period. Delays on the A4174 southbound approach are nearly one and half minutes during this period. There are a number of development sites in the North and East Fringe that are either committed or in the planning process.

  • Labor and Professional, and Social Protests During Jan 2019
    The Arabic Network for Human Rights Information ANHRI Program of freedom of expression of workers and social movements Labor and Social Protest Index during January 2019 Introduction January has witnessed no major protests, but in general we can say that the number of participants in the protests in most of the labor and professional protests was estimated by hundreds, or dozens, while individualism dominated the social mobility; at best the number of participants in the protests did not reach thousands, except in the case of solidarity with the Bar Association during the hearing to appeal the sentence of imprisonment for failure to implement a judicial ruling, and the failure to implement the provisions of registration of graduates of open education on the registration schedule of the union. In terms of the authorities' handling of the protests, labor protests were mostly dominated by negotiations, while social protests were mostly dominated by repression and intimidation, or even being ended automatically. The program monitored 47 protests during the month of January, including 11 labor and professional protests, and 36 social, summarized as follows: Labor and Professional, and Social protests during Jan 2019 23.40% 76.60% Labor and Professional 23.4% Social 76.6% I- Labor and Professional Protests: The program has monitored 11 labor and professional protests, distributed as follows: 1- Protests: 4 cases 2- Strike to work: 2 cases 3- Hunger strikes: 2 cases 4- Sit in: 2 cases 5- Threatening to protest: 1 case.
