On 14th August 2024, the Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Ebenezer Doku, accompanied by some Heads of the Departments from the Assembly, held a meeting with traders from the Adentan Station at the Assembly’s Conference Room to engage in discussions and address certain concerns.
Addressing the traders, the Hon. MCE announced that the Adentan Station is set to undergo a phase-lift. He explained that all shops surrounding the taxi rank will be re-positioned away from the taxi rank just to create enough space for the phase-lift.
The Hon. MCE reassured the traders that the renovation will not disrupt their businesses, and no one will lose their livelihood as a result of the construction. Additionally, he announced plans to build a daycare center for traders who bring their children to work, providing a convenient and supporting facility. He also revealed that construction is expected to begin in September 2024.
In conclusion, the Hon. MCE stated that data has been collected in existing shops at the station, and this was facilitated through the process of issuing temporary structure permits. This suggests that the necessary groundwork has been done for the renovation project to move forward.
