Access to the Temple Mount can be constructed from the northern side of the Western Wall plaza, over what is called "Wilson's Arch," and through what is now a police station. The station itself can be expanded or easily relocated to another area nearby, perhaps inside the Mughrabi Gate. That gate would then be permanently closed, since there would no longer be any access.
This new entrance and exit for non-Muslims (all other gates are restricted by the Wakf, the Muslim trust) would be built outside the Temple Mount plaza area, abutting, but not going beyond the Western Wall. The entrance would be incorporated into the existing police station and gate at the end of Rehov Shalshelet.
But I don't agree.
The main idea is to have the people coming to the Kotel continue on up to the Temple Mount.
The danger of terror vulnerablity in that Chain Street area is great, especially from nearby rooftops.
Moreover, the area is to small for the people movement of going and coming.
