“Say” Yes “, sign the petition and contribute to the return of the Ošupis route for pedestrians and cyclists,” the text of the petition is published, published online on July 13.
The question arises whether the municipality of Palanga has not considered converting the pedestrian and bicycle lane (Ošupis road) into a motorized transport street.
“If you are resting on the seashore, you have probably noticed that on the stretch from Monciškės to Šventoji (Elijah) there has been a significant increase in car traffic. This is because the municipality of Palanga easily distributes building permits such as mushrooms for the construction of huts that sprout after the rain, and it does not yet have the intention to solve infrastructure problems. In this way, the lane for pedestrians and bicycles (Ošupis road) is becoming more and more congested, “he says the petition.
The second part of the problem, according to the petitioners, is the uncontrolled hubbub of electric motorized transport on the Ošupis route.
It is said that motorcycles and electric scooters circulate on the Ošupis trail at high speeds, with inexhaustible batteries, endangering safe traffic, increasingly displacing pedestrians and cyclists.
I hit a neighbor
As of July 22, this petition had already been signed by 285 people.
“I’m scared to see electric scooters and motorcycles fly at high speeds and small children pass by! One step towards tragedy! “Said one of the petitioners.
Another recalled that the Ošupis trail is enjoyed and used not only by pedestrians and cyclists, but also by a large part of the disabled community, whose rest homes are adjacent to this trail.
“Molo Street would significantly reduce traffic on the Ošupis road. Why isn’t the Municipality of Palanga installing it? Another asked after signing the petition.

The ice cream on Molo Street moved
Commentary 15 minutes sent by Žydrūnas Žvirblis, Head of the Division of Architecture and Territorial Planning of the Municipal Administration of the City of Palanga.
According to him, the claim of the petition that the municipality of the city of Palanga wants to convert the Ošupis trail into a motorized transport street does not correspond to reality.
“We would like to inform you that the municipality of the city of Palanga has no such purpose, it is temporarily prohibited to drive on the Ošupis trail only to those people who currently have no other access to their real estate. Later, after the installation of Molo Street, the Ošupis Trail will only serve as a footpath for pedestrians and bicycles ”, commented the representative of the municipality.
According to him, during the implementation of the agrarian reform, plots were formed in said territory and returned to legal applicants.
According to data from the information system for building permits and state supervision IS Infostatyba, from July 2019 to July 20 of this year 6 building permits have been issued, which entitle the owners of plots to construct and rebuild buildings in the lots of your property. .
According to Ž. owned by them.
“The situation that part of the population temporarily has no other access to their homes is due to the fact that a private investor, who is bound by the infrastructure contract to design and install Molo Street, who must ensure access to the entire neighborhood not through Sendero Ošupis, it has not yet implemented this infrastructure contract.
The design of Molo Street is complicated by the territory of the Department of Cultural Heritage, through which Molo Street must be designed, because this conservation area is protected for scientific knowledge ”, explained the representative of the municipality.
