Prountzos Proposes Crossing Point at Kaimakli

The Mayor of Nicosia, Charalambos Prountzos, proposed to the negotiator of the Greek Cypriot side opening a crossing point at Kaimakli as an alternative solution to alleviate the congestion at the Agios Dometios crossing, which is under immense pressure and causing problems for residents. This proposal was made in parallel with the ongoing effort to open the crossing point at Mia Milia, but taking into account the difficulties in that solution. Opening the crossing point at Agios Ilarionos in Kaimakli would facilitate vehicle traffic and reduce traffic congestion. Mr. Prountzos stressed that the Kaimakli solution is feasible with the implementation of necessary works, while acknowledging that the Agios Dometios crossing point is malfunctioning due to insufficient staffing of the control booths.
