Paphos municipality announced on Tuesday the start of construction works to improve Eleftherios Venizelos Avenue. According to the announcement, the project includes demolition and reconstruction pavements, earthworks, and the creation of parking spaces, as well as the construction of a roundabout at the junction with Nikos Nikolaidis Avenue. Eleftheriou Venizelou Avenue as well as all its intersections, from its junction with Tasos Papadopoulos Avenue, up to its junction with Nikou Nicolaidis will be affected. The works will be carried out in sections starting from the junction of the Avenue with Agios Spyridonos Street. Safe pedestrian access for residents and visitors will be ensured. Road traffic will be channeled into a single lane, while diverted traffic flow towards the city center will be clearly marked. The avenue will remain open to traffic in both directions in sections where no construction works are being carried out. |

Butcher Boy Road (I know they aren't there any longer) must be the busiest road in Paphos. Roadworks on the scale of those on Ellados Avenue are going to make travelling round there almost impossible. |

I know he has a lot going on at the same time, but what he is doing is making a noticeable improvement. Most people were convinced that the TOTK work was going to be a disaster but it turned out pretty well and Ellados Avenue looks like there will be a noticeable improvement when it is done. The only question is whether it is the most sensible use of the money, although I have a feeling that it is ringfenced EU infrastructure money. |

Effsie im not complaining about the long awaited final result , but the excessive time it takes for completion. If you were to speak to businesses that have struggled to survive or had to move premises or just ceased trading altogether, i think you would hear a different story ! To the best of my knowledge there has been no aid from the state for these companies. |

The improvements are for no other reason than to actually restrict movements in the future (very near future). Speak to any of the businesses on these streets or on the small roads serving and they are all suffering, parking has been reduced customer access screwed. The larger sub road infrastructure introduced and clear Chinese designed and implemented signage is a dead give away. The TOK dual carriageway is a structure that had been planned and approved (prior to the funds disappearing) in the 1990's before there was fuller consideration of Paphos as a ''shart city'' . Fedonas is and has been an unchecked move for changes in his own agenda and no opposition to a position can not be a good thing. He will only allow (if still the Paphos Gestapo by that time) access by electric vehicles, lorries servicing companies selling green products etc etc. This is actually a designed part of erosion of freedoms. |

We have a couple of years of what seems to be men digging holes and standing around and then, all of a sudden it all comes together. Some of the roads, like the one from the courthouse down to the Makarios statue, don't seem much different until you notice all the parking bays that have been put in and now Ellados Avenue looks to be the same. The delays aren't good but the end result seems to give more customer access, which can only be a good thing. |

I'm an admirer of Fedonas. Esp. when compared with his predecessor... you know, the one who ended up in jail  While the mulitudinous and lengthy road works are (very) frustrating, my understanding is that once EU grants are applied for, work has to commence within a given timeframe in order for the grants to be awarded. If you miss the start deadline, you lose the grant. Kudos to Fedonas for grabbing any and all grants going. When completed I feel we will all have a town road infrastructure to be proud of. The roadworks which are completed look first class. And yes, I do have a very great sympathy for the retailers adversely affected. |
