Big blocks for Valletta’s City Gate are being cut now
The
big blocks of stone required for the entrance to Valletta
are in the process of being cut in a special way in a Gozo
quarry, this paper is informed. According to Renzo Piano’s
plan, these big blocks will plug the parts of the bastions
that were hacked away in the 1960s in order to accommodate
the much wider City Gate that was created then.

Tritons Fountain ‘too damaged’ to be moved
The
government has finally bowed to public opinion and to the
hard facts of the matter and has now decided that the
Tritons Fountain at City Gate will not be moved, given its
very fragile and damaged state.

Tritons back to glory
Plans to shift the Triton Fountain, outside City Gate, in
Valletta, to Floriana have been abandoned because it needs a
€2 million restoration job that will take an estimated two
years to complete. This means Renzo Piano’s plans for the
square outside the capital’s new entrance were revisited to
incorporate the fountain in the upgrading project, which
will include paving an area of 12,000 square metres.

Work on St Paul Street set for summer 2012
Work on the upper part of St Paul Street, one of Valletta’s
two main traffic arteries, was due to start in summer and to
be completed by mid-August, Valletta mayor Alexei Dingli
said.
The resurfacing of the lower, more residential part of the
road was completed by mid-November. The parking lot markings
and the laying down of cat eyes was only finished yesterday,
following tarmac tests.
