Jerusalem Mayor: Tel Aviv Becoming a Suburb of Jerusalem

Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski told a conference of mayors today that Tel Aviv is becoming a suburb of Jerusalem.

The mayor, addressing the 2005 Jerusalem Conference of Mayors, referred to the opening of the railway line between the two cities Saturday night as proof of the development. “In addition to Israel Railways, whose line to Jerusalem was reopened Saturday night, another, faster line is being planned and built from the coastal plain to us - on which travel time will be 28 minutes,” Lupolianski said.

Comparing the capital's current development and economic growth, the mayor said that Jerusalem is entering a new era of prosperity and renewal. “Only a few months ago, I spoke about the light at the end of the tunnel. This morning, I feel like someone who has just this minute emerged from the tunnel into daylight. The light of Jerusalem is now revealed in all its glory,” Lupolianski declared.
