The Kiryat Yam municipality is expanding public transportation services with a new bus route set to serve the Gali Yam neighborhood. The route will travel along Lachish and Tavor streets, providing residents with direct, convenient, and accessible transit links near their homes.
Initially, two bus stops were planned for Naomi Shemer Street. However, due to traffic congestion on the main road leading to the neighborhood's educational institutions, the Ministry of Transportation decided to relocate the stops to Geula Cohen Street, near Lachish Street. This decision followed a comprehensive safety assessment, considering access to parking lots, bicycle path continuity, commercial center operations, and pedestrian accessibility.
To accommodate the new stop locations, several parking spaces along the route were eliminated. The stops are designed in an "anti-bay" format to minimize impact on public space and existing parking, requiring less area. Additionally, to address parking shortages in the area, the municipality is developing a new public parking lot nearby with 28 designated spaces for residents.
