We are Residents of Obaidalla (OBD) building comprising of 580 plus apartments occupied by Emirates staff on Damascus Street, Al Qusais.

This petition is requesting RTA to ease the commuters of OBD residents and others by facilitating:

1. Multiple Pedestrian crossings
2. Additional bus routes

Currently, RTA bus route to OBD (Opposite Block 5) via multiple buses and the commuters are supposed to walk 1 to 2 km forward or backward to reach the signal and pedestrian to reach the OBD buildings.

Each apartment will have min 2 commuter on a daily basis in and out of the Damascus street from OBD. Jaywalking will be easier but not safe and violating the RTA Rule.

Bus routes are limited from this area forcing tenants to opt for cars to even to drop the kids to school within Qusais and Al Nahda areas.

This will benefit the Commercial shops, Restaurants, Salons and Banks if adequate bus routes and zebra crossing facilitated here.

We request support of RTA for pedestrian crossings across the road the OBD Building side and additional bus routes connecting Metro stations and other bus stops.

This will encourage OBD tenants to opt for RTA public Transport in place of multiple personal transports contributing to Green environment.

Kindly consider and facilitate our request at the earliest possible.
