Master Plan to ease congestion in the capital
LUSAKA is facing huge challenges such as traffic congestion and poor sanitation which are impacting negatively on efforts to attract investment.
The proposal by Lusaka City Council to create satellite towns around the capital to relieve pressure on population growth in the city is therefore most welcome.
Lusaka City Council director of engineering Bornwell Luanga said on Thursday that the council intends to develop satellite towns to ensure that development and business activities were not only in Lusaka but also in surrounding districts as well.
The satellite towns would be self-contained and would help decongest Lusaka city through the Lusaka City Master Plan which was devised last year with the support of the Japanese government.
The Master Plan is aimed at developing water supply and sanitation, public transportation, traffic and infrastructure improvement in dwelling places.
We are particularly elated by this Master Plan because focus will be directed on public transport to have ring roads to reduce traffic congestion in the central business district.
The town centre has become a no- go area particularly at peak hours due to traffic congestion and this is not good for any business, hence the need to open up the area.
Two types of ring roads have been proposed and would include the inner and the outer routes, which under the first phase, will run from Kafue Road through Misisi to Musi-o-Tunya extension near Woodlands Stadium and then run parallel to Chilimbulu road.
The second phase will run from Kafue road through Chibolya and John Laing and will join Lumumba road.
With such a vision, we are hopeful that the capital city will be transformed and traffic congestion in the business district would become a thing of the past.
The Master Plan that will include building of standard houses, putting a reliable water supply, proper sanitation, streetlights and creation of shopping centres, will certainly revive the glorious days of Lusaka when it was a garden city with beautiful surroundings.
With this type of development the quality of life of the people will certainly be enhanced.
