Antipopular garages

Is not the first collective action is left without proper attention - the activists' Committee to Protect the rights of owners of garages is not allowed to go to reception to Sobyanin. Members of the garage cooperatives are unhappy that the "People's Garage" are beneficial to officials, but Moscow motorists. On Tuesday, nearly 200 car owners gathered near the building of the Moscow mayor's office, they sought a meeting with Sergei Sobyanin. Residents Butyrsky district amounted to a collective letter in which they demanded to cancel construction of the parking lot "People's Garage" in Ogorodnov passage. Now there began the demolition of individual garages, built more than 50 years ago legally. At the site of planar structures will be erected a new garage complex. "If the demolition of garages plane will continue in the near future hundreds of thousands of vehicles from parking perekochuyut on clogged roads, driveways vnutridvorovye, since instead of demolished without compensation garages other places to park vehicles anywhere no one offers. Thus, the construction of multi-storey car parks would not withdraw, but will aggravate the need for parking spaces and will provoke an irreparable collapse of the automobile in the city "- emphasizes the organizer vtornichnoy shares Elena Kholodkova. "It's no secret that Moscow sharpest way the question is organizing parking of private cars. From our perspective, the program "People's Garage" does not solve this problem, - the representative of the Committee of protection of the rights of owners of garages, Vladimir Seliverstov. - When this issue has already been published in the political arena: people organize rallies, unite. We believe that it is necessary to urgently establish a dialogue of citizens and city leaders to remove the existing contradictions. " Vladimir Seliverstov cited the garage cooperative "Butyrskiy poplar, which he is Chairman. Permission for its construction have been issued the executive committee of the Kirov, the construction was completed in 1958. And now, after half a century, on May 12 this year, Seliverstov received a document in which the garage cooperative samostroem acknowledged to be demolished. Collective letter signed by 600 people, including many plane owners garages. At a reception in City Hall motorists signed up in November. As a result, shares the mayor's office received 200 applications. However, an appointment with the mayor did not let anyone - have advised motorists to deal with questions about the garages in the local governments and prefectures. Vladimir Seliverstov said that thus they were sent to those who they came to complain to the mayor. The next step disgruntled motorists will be filing complaints in the prefecture and the council, but the response to them is already possible to predict - an alternative construction of garages rejected. But they do not give up - at the beginning of next year, with failures on their hands they once again try to get a meeting with Sobyanin. Moreover, car owners are not against building new parking lots, but they are not satisfied with pricing. Activists have proposed their own alternative draft, which will reduce the cost of parking lots to 200,000 rubles instead of 350 thousand. Leader of the Moscow branch of the Federation of Russia Sergey Kanaev car owners believe that the cost of the garages, built under the state program, is exaggerated because of corruption. And these suspicions were not empty: in the past year against the head of Department of Road and Bridge Engineering Moscow Alexander Levchenko and former first deputy head of the Department of urban planning policy, development and reconstruction of Constantine Royal criminal proceedings were instituted, they were accused of wasting 130 million rubles, allocated for the program "People's Garage." Recall that the action of discontent construction of "People's Garage" were held in the camp of warmth, Kapotnya, it is comforting ... Automobile owners tried to retake the territory of playgrounds and green areas, where the plans were to build a new parking lot. As a result of the protests last year have canceled the construction of 15 "people's garages, but this year the volume of construction of new garages to the government program was reduced in 2 times.
