I was so surprise that you made a Concrete Street in front of beautiful Cathedral and an antique house. My advice to Mazraat Al Toufah Municipality President is to consider an advice from archeologist engineer on how to build/repair street in historic area. The street needs to be fixed and match the surrounding. I hope you take it in consideration.
