The mayor of Kiev has long been tired of the situation on the roads.
Kiev officials not the first year talking about the importance of implementation of the program of organized Parking lots.
According to Vitaly Klitschko, the problem is that most streets of Kiev was designed and built more than 70 years ago. When the roads traveled by several orders of magnitude less transport. But, it’s not just the number of machines. A serious problem in recent years as the parked cars were.
About this Klitschko said on the air of one of Ukrainian TV channels.
That is putting things in order with Parking the mayor has identified as a priority. After all, thrown on the roadway the vehicles create a serious obstacle to flow of traffic.
He is confident that the cars from Kiev should expel. And it can be done only by creating a unified Parking regulations, increasing prices and returning public utilities the right to evacuate the car of offenders.
“We still do not have the right to evacuate the car, to write fines to the irresponsible drivers who leave the cars on the roadway or the sidewalk,” – said Vitaly Klitschko. He also said that the bill is gathering dust in Parliament for more than 2 years. And only adopted in the first reading.
Thus the mayor noted that to solve the problem in the capital need to create a network of “Park and ride” Parking lots. That is the large Parking at the end of the subway stations and on the periphery.
“I have long lived in the United States and Germany: in the city centre to arrive not so simple, and people leave cars on intercepting Parking lots and buses to the centre by public transport. They understand that to put the car in the center Parking lot would cost much more. The farther from the center the cheaper,” recalled the mayor.
However, he did not specify what specific steps are taken by the authorities to create organized Parking lots on the periphery. After all, Kiev officials not the first year talking about the importance of carrying out such a program, but so far nothing in this direction is not made.
Finally, the mayor said that another important component of the problem of traffic jams in Kiev is the dominance of minibuses. Carrying not so many passengers as buses and trolleybuses, while taking up lots of space on the road. The mayor believes that in the future, taxis in Kiev will be cancelled. But this will happen only after the Kiev authorities will deal with the efficiency of the public transport routes. According to him, now this question is studied “together with the world Bank”.
The mayor also noted the need to build a big ring road to beyond Kiev in the flow of transit traffic.
“The issue we resolve and work with the Kyiv regional administration on the fact that a Great circle was completed. This will reduce the load on our streets,” said Vitali Klitschko.
