When diverting from Sheikh Zayed Road towards Arabian Sea into the community of Jumeirah 2, there is little that will tell this is to become one of the most attractive plots of land in the emirate. However, a look on the map showing where Dubai Canal will be laid shows otherwise.
Jumeirah 2 is the community that lies between Al Wasl Road and Jumeirah Beach Road opposite Jumeirah Beach Park. In 2017, this will be the ground for the 6km extension of Dubai Creek, and of more than 80,000 square meters of surrounding area equipped with many facilities that meet the requirements of visitors to the marine destination.
The quality of water and the density of structures in the area make Jumeirah the right location for the project, explained Road and Transport Authority (RTA).
“Environmental and marine studies that had been conducted since 2004 revealed the need to find solutions to improve the water quality in Dubai Creek. The selection of the location was based on those studies as well as the intension to minimise the number and areas of affected plots,” explained Maitha bin Adai, CEO of Traffic and Roads Agency (TRA) at RTA.
Indeed, with the canal partly drawn through Al Safa Park, the affected plot is minimised to the residential block of which some villas have already been removed years ago, when the project was initiated. With most of the land now empty for the creek to enter, the last remaining structures will make way for the waters soon.
Al Shaab School is one such example, said Maitha. This public elementary school for boys will relocate at the end of academic year 2013-14.
