Krasnoyarsk branch of YABLOKO opposes creation of parking lot for officials in historic city centre
Press release, 30.03.2016
The Krasnoyarsk branch of YABLOKO’s Green Russia faction and the local residents oppose the creation of a hundred additional parking lots for the officials’ cars in the historic centre of Krasnoyarsk.
YABLOKO representatives expressed their protest against the plans to create additional parking lots for the city officials in the historic centre during the public hearings yesterday. The local residents supported YABLOKO’s stance and voted against the project on the historic centre development proposed by the officials.
According to Alexander Kotlov, Chair of local Green Russia branch, 281 parking lots out of 300 would be given to the city officials while only 19 lots were assigned to the citizens.
YABLOKO also claims that such proposals will inevitably improve the image of the city centre as a car destination. As a result, the increase of traffic flow will lead to the increase of anthropogenic impact on the environment.
