After many years, in the coming days, renovation and comprehensive upgrading works will begin in the pedestrian mall in the Moshava of Zichron Ya’acov, one of the most beautiful and touristic destinations in Israel. The project will bring a significant change to the visitor experience in the historic street of the Moshava and will last about three months. The renovation of the pedestrian mall will be carried out in small sections so that the area will remain open and active.
As part of the project, the lighting system will be upgraded with innovative and unique solutions, comfortable seating areas will be established along with shading solutions throughout the pedestrian mall, passageways to the charming courtyards will be improved, landscaping will be upgraded, and unique installations will be placed that will give the place a renewed character and identity.
The project comes amid a significant tourism boom in Zichron Ya’acov. Recently, a new hotel from the Gordonia chain was opened, and additional hotels are expected to open in the Wine Park and winery area. Around 100 new parking spaces have been prepared near the pedestrian mall, allowing convenient access for visitors, and modern restrooms have been built for the benefit of travelers.
A further stage in the development of tourism in the Moshava, in cooperation with the Tourism Ministry, will begin upon completion of this project. The pedestrian mall is expected to be extended all the way to the historic Givat Zamarin.
Eli Abutbul, the head of the council, said: “Tourism in Zichron Ya’acov is our industrial zone. Zikhron is bustling with tourists and groups. I am very happy and excited to announce that this week a highly important project will begin – the renovation and upgrading of the most beautiful pedestrian mall in the country. We are investing significant resources in planning and infrastructure upgrades, and this is only the beginning – together with the Tourism Ministry, the pedestrian mall is expected to be extended all the way to the historic Givat Zamarin.”
