Ajman Municipality and Planning Department has announced that work is continuing on the agriculture and bike trail project on Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Street in Ajman, at a cost of AED 16 million. This project aligns with the objectives of Ajman Vision 2030 to create an urban environment that enhances the emirate’s appeal and improves the quality of life for its residents. Furthermore, it supports the strategic goal of ensuring access to green and blue spaces, as well as sports, entertainment, and community facilities.
In this regard, Dr. Khalid Moeen Al Hosani, Executive Director of the Public Health and Environment Sector at the Department, stressed that the Department is working on implementing the vital project, which includes the establishment of an irrigation system and landscaping of the sides of the street with a length of 9 km, and at a cost of AED 9 million, starting from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Street to Union Street with a total area of 100 thousand square meters with a modern irrigation system that uses treated wastewater to beautify the road and improve the environment and road safety, and providing a pedestrian and bike walkway at a cost of 7 million with a length of about 10.5 km with landscaping on the sides of the walkway.
Dr. Al Hosani elaborated that the skilled professionals and work teams at the Agriculture and Public Parks Department, in collaboration with the Roads and Infrastructure Department, commenced the project at the beginning of this year, 2025, with full completion anticipated by the end of 2026. He noted that the current efforts are focused on establishing the foundational works for irrigation, agriculture, and a bike trail, with the irrigation and agricultural components to be finalized subsequently.
Dr. Al Hosani said that the emirate of Ajman serves as a nurturing ground for sports talents and is an appealing destination for tourists. Consequently, we are striving to offer various tails within the emirate, which includes a new asphalt bike trail accompanied by a walkway that incorporates traffic safety features such as signage, traffic lighting, and plastic barriers. This initiative aims to enhance resident satisfaction in the area and promote sustainable mobility, aligning with the smart city strategy that advocates for intelligent urban planning, fosters community health, and contributes to the development of sustainable infrastructure.
Dr. Al Hosani discussed the extent of the planted areas, totalling 18 km, which comprise shade trees and flowering shrubs. He emphasized that the expansion of green spaces is a primary goal and aligns with the recommendations of urban planners. The dedicated efforts to plant along roadways and create pathways for all aim to elevate Ajman as one of the foremost green and healthy cities, providing optimal conditions for residents, visitors, and tourists.
