A street fence around Saris provides residents with an alternative to hang washed clothes for drying. New regulations from the Addis Abeba City Cabinet Buildings must be at least 10m from the leading road edge. At the same time, five metres and two metres distance are required from sub-main roads and neighbourhood roads, respectively. While the regulations stemmed from realisations during the construction of the Grand Corridor project, they will determine construction aesthetics in the foreseeable future. Despite being a few months away from competition, the project has transformed the capital's aesthetics. In addition to the 100Km of bicycle lanes and 96Km of pedestrian sidewalks, several street-side sub-standard neighbourhoods have been razed to make way for contemporary projects.
