Dave..I think Amman is becoming more pedestrian friendly. There were always efforts to make it this way -pedestrians tunnels and bridges- which were always avoided by Ammanies ( they like the rush of crossing a 70 km/h street). I think the upcoming problem in town in PARKING I wake up to that same view everyday…and every time i see it out the window I get butterflies thinking of what is Amman going to look like in 5 years…

I'm anxious to see an cleaner, more organized Amman that is considerably friendlier to pedestrians and citizens. I'll continue to be a big proponent, as long as they find a way to maintain a balance between the new construction and classic Arab culture. I’m really pumped about this.
