After a months-long beautification campaign, a refurbished roundabout around the Olympia area has adorned a new look. The Addis Abeba City administration has been busy over the past three months as part of a spirited bid to turn the capital into a smart city. It includes new 100 km of bicycle lanes, 96 km of pedestrian sidewalks, around 120 public toilets, 400 building renovations and nearly 70 public parks. An overall shift towards more electric and less internal combustion modes of transportation has also been suggested by city officals as part of the ambitious project. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed(PhD) closely supervises the project and has assigned high-level officals to monitor daily progress closely.
