But now that they have, it\u2019s come as a huge relief to me and I imagine everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s completely transformed the area and I think it will become much more attractive to people wanting to buy or live here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>*A Canadian citizen moved into one of the towers: \u201cI had only just arrived in Dubai for work so wasn\u2019t really aware of the road situation and how bad it could get.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was shocking but I think I was one of the lucky ones as I didn\u2019t have to put up with it for that long. It feels like a proper community now.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe constant construction and road works meant that it was always noisy and dusty, but now it\u2019s completely transformed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really nice talking a walk around the lake and the park they are making has really helped to brighten the place up.\u201d<br \/>\nFor more information about Car Information, please visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/uae.sellanycar.com\/Car-Information.html\">http:\/\/uae.sellanycar.com\/Car-Information.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over three years and more of road widening, constructing bridges and fixing up traffic light systems in Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT) following what were witnessed of negative impacts on thousands of people staying in infinite traffic lines at the peak times have become something over and done.
