ASSIGNMENT 3

Vehicles: Cars at present merely bypass the site along the major autoroutes leading to the French Hill and Ma'al Adumim settlements in East Jerusalem. This causes additional problems by forming a barrier at the northernmost point of the site - a critical junction between Jewish and Palestinian neighborhoods.

Pedestrian: To the northeast of the site is a large park which sprawls beneath the peak of Mount Scopus towards the site. In the south lies the olive grove which is a pedestrian crossroads between Wadi Joz and Sheik Jarrach, and also used for casual strolling. The site itself is and often used shortcut by locals moving from institution to home, home to business etc. The paths of the two populations very nearly cross, but the path is broken by the major interchange to the north the site.

Strolling: Both the Mount Scopus Park and the olive grove at the south of the site are popular places for recreational walks and hiking, albeit for different communities. Both green spaces are again terminated at the junction in the northernmost corner of the site, discouraging one from traversing from one side to the other.
