Today the municipality is hosting a carnival. It is joyous and exciting. The event is drawing young and old, students and visitors, ambulatory and wheelchair bound. The bright sunshine is adding to the joy. My business dealings here, obtaining a Yerushalaim card and paying my arnona have been easy and I have nothing but praise for the staff.
The Municipality of Jerusalem is a municipality of the city of Jerusalem, located in the Jerusalem District.
The municipal authorities are housed in the offices of the Mayor of Jerusalem, a complex of buildings. It was created in the 1990s around Safra Square in the Daniel Garden. It brings together all the activities of the Municipality that were previously located in 32 different buildings scattered throughout the city. The site of the city municipal offices was chosen in the mid-1980s because it was the center of the city between east and west, near the Old City and the historic main street of the city, Jaffa Street. As this site is at the historic center of the city, various measures were taken so as to create buildings that met the practical needs of the town hall without damaging the architectural and historical character of the neighborhood. These considerations led to the preservation of various historical buildings that were renovated, and the construction of two modern buildings at three sites, primarily in Safra Square.
Not your typical city hall. This municipality holds open events in determined national and religious festive days. So you can go there and pay taxes as well watch a movie or attend an independence day concert.
I am not a frequent visitor of the city, but unfortunately, on one or more occasions I arrived at the bus central station and needed a lavatory urgently. I could never use it for two reasons: first, the smell of urine was appalling and drove me away very fast. Secondly, the gate at the entry where you need to put coins. Why not have a cleaning lady at the entrance (will prevent the terrible smell) to collect money from visitors as is done in Europe and South East Asia?
The municipality demands 2 bil. shekels of tax payers money but it doesn't provide any reasonable services to its residents (see the level of dirt in the streets) and is not welcoming to visitors or tourists.
Furthermore, anyone coming into the city from Tel Aviv can't avoid seeing the piles of garbage on the side of the hill. Builders/contractors or whoever it is throws the garbage taken out of buildings onto the hillside. A great view for tourists coming into the Holy City and the Capital of Israel.
