Urban Infrastructure

Once marketed as a hub for leisure and culinary arts, today merchants at the municipal market in Afula describe neglect, filth, and closed restrooms. The municipality responds: it is a private complex, but enforcement will be increased.

Broken sidewalks, open pits, traffic lights without accessibility buttons, and speeding cyclists make every outing for the visually impaired a survival struggle. Residents report a lack of oversight and safety, while the municipality claims it is working to improve urban accessibility.
