Project Description

The existing Zor-Shar Road is unpaved and in need of serious repair to act as a functional thoroughfare for transport of commercial goods to market. Commercial viability is important to the overall stability of this neighborhood. The current road is unpaved and is riddled with potholes that inhibit vehicular traffic, therefore having a negative effect on the flow of commerce into and out of the suburban areas serviced by the Zor-Shar Road. Paving this road will have a positive effect not only on commerce, but also allow the Municipal Government to extend its capacity and operation reach into a larger area of the city. The local population will benefit by the reduction of disease carrying dust particles associated with a dirt road and additional freedom of movement to stimulate commerce.

Project Goals

This new road will help serve as a functional thoroughfare for transportation of commercial goods to the market, while also allowing the Municipal Government to extend its capacity and operation reach into a larger area of the city. The current situation of the road is unpaved and riddled with potholes which inhibit vehicular traffic causing a negative effect on the flow of commerce into and out of the suburban areas. The paved road will benefit the local population by additional freedom of movement to help stimulate commerce, in addition to reduction of the disease carrying dust particles associated with a dirt road. Comments: The primary benefits of the project include providing the

local populace with a functional thoroughfare for the

transportation of agricultural goods and services to the local

market. Commercial viability is important to overall stability

of the neighborhood. Paving this road will have a positive

effect not only on commerce, but also allow the Municipal

Government to extend its capacity and operation reach into

a larger area of the city. The local population will benefit by

the reduction of disease carrying dust particles associated

with a dirt road and additional freeclom of movement to

stimulate commerce.
