B. Location of proposed facilities The Jaffa Gate area, especially its external side, is the main focus of this study. In the recent few years the site has been intensively developed and nowadays holds a few constructions that may be suitable for location of a crossing facility. The main landmarks on site are: the walls and Jaffa Gate itself [1], Karta parking lot [2], the citadel and David’s tower [3], the entrance plaza [4] (which is positioned partly over the road and partly over a vacant space), and the Omar Ibn El-Khattab road [5] based on a dike leading to the gate. This study will present a few alternative locations for the various security facilities in this urban setting.
