Matul il-granet li ghaddew kienu hafna dawk li kkuntatjawni biex jghiduli li ghogobhom hafna d-disinn tal-foss madwar il-Belt tal-Imdina. Il-firxa tal-proġett testendi minn Bieb il-Griegi, sa taħt il-Palazz Vilhena. Illum partijiet mill-foss huma mitluqa b’tennis pitches zdingati u parti konsiderevoli tal-foss mehuda minn ground tal-football. Zoni ohra tal-foss sa llum ghandhom hafna sigar li qed jghattu u jtellfu mill-apprezzament vizwali u s-sbuhija tas-swar. L-ghan principali huwa dak li naghtu dak l-ispazju lill-pubbliku bhala gnien izda fl-istess hin nikxfu s-sbuhija tas-swar billi nressqu s-sigar lura halli ma jibqghux jghattu u inaqqsu mis-sbuhija tas-swar. Izda mhux talli mhux se nnaqqsu s-sigar talli se nhawwlu ferm aktar sigar milli hemm sa llum. Iz-zoni miftuha se jkunu miksija bit-turf. Id-disinn sar wara analizi li xoghlijiet ohra li saru madwar swar ohra fil-Meditterran.
Il-ġnien se jinkludi passaġġi bis-sigar u żoni ta' mistrieħ b’funtani zghar qalb il-passaggi bis-sigar. Se tkun installata ukoll sistema ta’ dwal gdida biex wiehed ikun jista japrezza s-swar anke bil-lejl. Barra hekk se jkun ukoll possibli li wiehed japprezza l-fdalijiet arkejologici li nstabu fil-foss waqt ix-xoghol ta’ konsolidazzjoni fuq is-swar. Il-ġnien se jkun totalment aċċessibbli b’żewġ rampi u entratura livell tat-triq minn Bieb il-Griegi.
Dan ix-xoghol fuq il-foss se jinbeda f’nofs din is-sena kif jitlesta x-xoghol ta’ konsolidament tas-sur madwar u taht il-Palazz ta’ Vilhena u il-Bastjun ta’ San Pawl li jinsab fi stadju avvanzat. Din hija parti mis-swar li verament kellha hsarat kbar minhabba li s-sur ilu ghal hafna snin jizviluppa konsenturi minhabba li l-blat ta’ taht is-sur beda jinqasam. Tant kien hemm hsarat li l-parti ta’ wara tal-Palazz ta’ Vilhena spiccat waqghet u kien ilha hekk ghal snin twal. B’dan l-intervent strutturali mill-aktar interessanti, inhadmet b’reqqa kbira biex tinhadem gos-sur xibqa shiha ta’ hadid biex is-sur litterament jintrefa ’l fuq ma ma jithalliex icedi aktar. Fil-gimghat li gejjin se jinbeda xoghol ta’ konsolidament fuq zewg zoni ohra tas-swar tal-Imdina, li wkoll qeghdin fil-periklu ta’ kollass. Il-progett b’kollox se jiswa €2.6 Miljun b’ko-finanzjament ta 85% mill-fondi tal-UE mistenni li jitlesta f’ Gunju ta’ din is-sena.
Dan ix-xoghol huwa parti mix-xoghol estensiv ta’ restawr li qed isir fuq 6km shah ta’ swar gewwa l-Imdina, l-Belt Valletta, il-Birgu u c-Cittadella f’Ghawdex. B’kollox se nkunu qed ninvestu €36 Miljun fil-wirt taghna halli mhux biss nharsu dak li ghandna u nirbhu spazji godda ghall-familji taghna, izda fuq kollox inkomplu ntejjbu l-prodott turistiku ta’ pajjizna.

I am sure that area will be aesthetically pleasing. however, as a 19 year-old sports enthusiast i am disappointed that there is no mention of any sports facilities, such as the football pitch and tennis court. especially when there is a large garden so near by. surely the government is aware of the obesity problem and the importance of encouraging youngsters to indulge in sports. the previous facilities were no longer being utilised because they were left in a bad state of repair. one cannot be expected to play tennis in a court without a net and weeds sprouting all over the court. i believe that such sporting facilities could be included in the upgrading project, with no detriment to the natural beauty and aesthetics of the site.
