Residents of Netanya’s Poleg and Ir Yamim neighbourhoods are organising a potential legal challenge to the proposed route of the Red Line, a dedicated public-transport corridor. Opponents warn of possible safety risks and changes to their residential surroundings. Project company Netivei Ayalon says the scheme is a strategic investment of about NIS 800 million intended to improve transport across Netanya. The dispute remains unresolved; no final legal outcome has been reported.
