Three more roads including KN 115 St, KN 113 St & KN 126 St in Biryogo, village Gitega sector of Nyarugenge district are now being designed to become a place for only pedestrians, also known as car free zone.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are giving them what they already have been wishing to have.\u201d<\/p>\n

As part of this project, the City of Kigali contracted graduates of Nyundo School of Arts who started doing artistic painting on the roads dedicated to Car Free zone. They were joined by Vice mayor of City of Kigali in charge of Urbanisation Merald Mpabwanamaguru who launched the project on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The first car free zone of Kigali is located on Road KN4 Avenue, between Kigali city headquarter\u2019s building , commercial buildings like Makuza Peace Plaza Bank of Kigali, Ecobank Rwanda, Cogebanque, and Kenya Commercial Bank.
