Street of Birds in Bir Zaran Neighborhood: Potholes Detract from Daily Life and Demand Urgent Intervention
Yassine Balkhadi
The Street of Birds in the Bir Zaran neighborhood is facing a concerning situation due to the proliferation of deep potholes that have become an eyesore and pose a real danger to road users, especially motorcyclists and cyclists, particularly at night when visibility decreases and the likelihood of accidents increases.
According to testimonies from several residents, these potholes have, over time, turned into a daily source of worry due to the material damages they cause to vehicles, in addition to the direct threat they pose to the safety of citizens, amidst a lack of effective intervention to repair or at least temporarily secure them.
This call for action comes at a time when the city of Khouribga is witnessing paving and rehabilitation works on several streets and alleys as part of a developmental program overseen by the OCP Group, which has been widely appreciated for its efficacy and positive impact on urban infrastructure. This success has led an increasing number of streets, including the Street of Birds, to “plead” for inclusion in this developmental dynamic that has restored hope to residents.
The ambitious efforts of Mr. Abdelkarim Ramzi, the director of the Khouribga site of the OCP Group, are noteworthy for their commitment to implementing realistic and tangible programs that focus on improving the quality of roads and neighborhoods, clearly enhancing the city’s aesthetics and boosting road safety.
In light of this situation, the residents of the Street of Birds urge the relevant authorities to expedite the intervention needed to repair these potholes, in order to ensure citizen safety and align with the developmental vision currently underway in the city. Khouribga, with its promising initiatives, deserves a collective effort towards a safer and more beautiful urban space.
