“Apple tree garden in Biryulyovo, Moscow, will not be cut”,
Vladimir Resin, head of the Moscow Construction Complex told
to YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin during their meeting
today. Moreover, the plot of land with the apple tree garden
will be included into the natural reserve Biryulyovo Dendrary
Park.
Initially the local Moscow authorities planned to build a
parking for 1,200 cars instead of the apple tree garden bordering
on the Biryulyovo Dendrary Park. In November 2009 the residents
of the area applied Sergei Mitrokhin for help. YABLOKO’s leader
sent a letter to the Deputy Moscow Mayor Vladimir Resin. It
was indicated that construction of a parking would ruin a
stable ecological system in the area. “The area has a lot
of waste grounds that may suit for construction of a parking”,
ran the letter.
It is already the second apple tree garden saved by YABLOKO.
In 2006 the party managed to stop cutting of the trees in
Davydkovo district.
Sergei Mitrokhin and Vladimir Resin also discussed the situation
in the Rechnik village and problems of building garages at
the Geroyev Panfilovtsev street and two underground parkings
at Presnya.
