The proposed New Pedestrian Shopping Mall at Circle Odawna in Accra, when completed, will accommodate 6,000 traders.
Currently, the market can only cater for 3,146 traders, thus forcing some of them to relocate to the pedestrian walkway along the market.
The Korle Klottey Municipal Development Planning Officer, Mr Alex Amoah, disclosed this on Wednesday in Accra when the Regional Minister, Ms Linda Obenewaa Akweley Ocloo, made her first visit to the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly, and said the market would soon be rebuilt into a modern one.
He underlined that the market would boast of facilities such as car park, fire station, police station, and green spaces. "We will see modern market with a car park, modern market stretch and greening within the markets," he enumerated.
