Could this busy Hamrun main road be converted into a pedestrian square?

Hamrun has become somewhat of a cultural hub in the centre of Malta, with its main road accommodating thousands of cars on a daily basis, but Hamrun mayor Christian Sammut has proposed an idea which may change the locality forever.

Xi jkunu l-KUMMENTI taghkom kieku 🤔🤔? ?Triq il-Kbira San Guzepp mill-Pjazza San Pawl sal-Knisja San Gejtanu terga…

The mayor posted an artistic render created by Steve Compagno which envisions the area from the San Gejtanu Church to St. Paul’s Square being converted into a pedestrian square and ‘prioritising the people.’

Albeit some raised some questions about potential traffic issues, the transformation seems to be welcomed by residents of the locality and could truly breathe new life into Hamrun.
