Opinion: Ta' Xbiex Regeneration Project Is A Step Forward But Needs To Be Reimagined
Environment Minister Miriam Dalli recently announced that the Ta’ Xbiex waterfront is finally set to receive a long-overdue upgrade, with works scheduled to begin in the last week of October.
The project will primarily focus on enhancing the promenade and quay area, including the installation of new water and street lighting systems.
One significant change involves reducing the current two-lane road, just beyond the Gżira Gardens to a single lane.
While this is a positive and much-needed step forward, the potential of the area goes far beyond the scope of what has currently been proposed.
This upgrade presents a unique opportunity to take a far more holistic and ambitious approach to one of Malta’s most valuable stretches of coastline.
