“Ethiopia, Former Resident of the Bottom, Aspires to the Middle” (Addis Ababa Journal, March 4) reports on Ethiopia’s rapid economic growth.
I agree that Ethiopia is one of Africa’s most rapidly growing economies. Indeed, infrastructure and transportation are two of the primary ways the government is propelling this economic growth, and I have observed these changes during recent research trips to Ethiopia.
As construction projects transform Ethiopia, it is important also to consider what these changes will mean for ordinary interactions.
Addis Ababa, the capital, is rapidly changing with new shopping centers, housing complexes and highways being constantly constructed. The Chinese-sponsored light rail is one of the biggest changes to the city’s landscape.
The railway should reduce transportation times and connect neighborhoods in new ways. Yet it also poses new challenges and causes disruptions, as frequently used intersections, bus stops and crosswalks are blocked.
The city’s drivers and pedestrians must adapt to new ways of navigating street crossings and traversing the city as the railway redefines traffic patterns.
As light rail expands in Addis Ababa and it forges greater connections to other cities in Ethiopia and Djibouti by rail, it will continue to transform the country’s modes of transportation and its landscape.

We've heard all this nonsense about Kludjeson's K-PAD before. It looks like some of these stories are sources of income for journalists.
