Residents of the Ain Haroun neighborhood, near Dakhla Mosque in the city of Fès, continue to voice complaints over what they describe as the growing encroachment on public space. The situation is marked by an increasing presence of street vendors around the المسجد, with sidewalks and roads being occupied in a way that disrupts traffic flow and makes parking difficult.
Several residents reported that the concentration of vendors near the mosque—especially during peak hours—creates significant pressure on the surrounding area. This affects the smooth movement of both locals and worshippers, intensifying congestion and worsening daily challenges.
Field observations indicate that public spaces have gradually turned into informal marketplaces for fruits and vegetables, with commercial activities extending onto roadside areas. This has led to narrowed passageways, obstructed traffic, and increasing difficulty in finding parking near residential buildings.
In this context, residents are calling on local authorities to intervene urgently and organize the area through practical and sustainable solutions that take into account the specific nature of the site—particularly its proximity to the mosque. They stress the need to balance vendors’ right to earn a living with residents’ right to use public space under normal conditions.
Local observers believe that addressing the issue requires a comprehensive regulatory approach that ensures respect for the law and restructures commercial spaces in a way that preserves public order and meets residents’ expectations.
