"The projects involve a comprehensive network of services and stations for cars and buses, landscaped gardens and offices for government bodies operating these gates," Talal Al Radadi, Secretary General of Al Madinah Al-Munawwarah Development Authority (MMDA) told the Arabic language daily Al Eqtisadiah.
