“The idea is compatible, its implementation, legalization. The administration was instructed to examine this proposal and a working group will be formed immediately, which will analyze how to implement it,” Klaipeda’s chief told BNS on Thursday.
On Thursday, Liberal Saulius Budinas presented a proposal to the Municipal Council to amend the Strategic Action Plan by establishing the Giruliai Regional Park at the municipal level.
According to V. Grubliauskas, there are many risks when changing the Strategic Action Plan, therefore, it is necessary that the subject be thoroughly examined and the municipal administration prepare the documentation.
“Until now the point has not been really helped, but this proposal, the administration explained that for its implementation it is necessary to prepare certain documentation, to prepare an appropriate draft decision, because now there are many risks to change the Strategic Action Plan immediately” V. Grubaliauskas said.
“Today they set out to take the issue very seriously, probably because of a separate decision by the council to present it to the council when it is ready … The idea itself is not withdrawn, support has been expressed, but implementation must be very precise , legally well prepared, “he said. he.
The adviser to the Minister of the Environment, Justas Jaskonis, informed BNS that the Municipality of Klaipėda could establish the Giruliai Forest Reserve, but to change the purpose of the land, a decision would be required at the government level.
Among other things, the Minister’s representative stated that the Ministry of the Environment first proposes to prepare a cost-benefit analysis and select the most environmentally sustainable location for the construction of the railway crossing, as well as harmonize it with the recently approved Master Plan.
The Council addressed the country’s leaders.
The municipal council also signed a memorandum on Thursday for the president, prime minister, president of Seimas and minister of communications. The letter states that the relocation of the port city railroad crossing from the city center should be addressed not through deforestation, but through a comprehensive assessment of installation and development.
V. Grubliauskas stated that he lacked an alternative: a proposal to move the railway crossing to the village of Kopūstai in the Klaipėda district.
On Monday, the government approved the reorganization of the Klaipėda railway, gradually, until 2030, to increase most of the cargo flow from the central station, while expanding and modernizing the Pauostis road and Draugystė railway station in the area from the port, which can cost around 80 million. euros
The station’s redevelopment plans relate to one of the conditions of nearly 20 city authorities for the port: to reduce cargo flows through the central railway station and the city highway. These conditions have been raised in the port’s general plan approved last year, which calls for the construction of an external deep-water port in Melnrage.
The Ministry of Transport and Communications declares that the objective of this Government Resolution is to create legal conditions to start the preparation of development plans and establish planning objectives.
The government resolution did not mention the Cabbage Village alternative, but later the Minister of Transport and Communications Jaroslav Narkevičius announced that after consultations with the port city communities, this alternative would be considered.
In the Seimas: a requirement for the Government
At that time, 17 Seimas members, mostly working in the opposition, registered a draft resolution on Friday that called for the government’s decision to exclude the development of the Pauostis highway and include the Col Village as the main alternative.
The draft resolution was signed by the spokesman for the Seimas Viktoras Pranckietis, the liberals Simonas Gentvilas, Gintaras Vaičekauskas, Eugenijus Gentvilas and Viktorija Čmilytė-Nielsen, the social democrats Linas Balsys, Algimantas Salamakinas, Dovilė Šakaldas, Dovilė Šakaldas and Algirdas
The signatories include Remigijus Žemaitaitis and Gintaras Steponavičius, who work in a mixed group of Seimas members, as well as representatives of the ruling “peasant” faction, Algimantas Kirkutis, Naglis Puteikis and “social worker” Irena Šiaulienė.
The transformation of the railway infrastructure of the port city aims to divert freight trains from the center of Klaipeda, to reduce noise and air pollution. After the transformation, only passenger trains would reach the city center, and freight trains would only pass to Draugystė railway station.
Lietuvos Geležinkeliai representatives told BNS earlier this week that it is too early to talk about deforestation in Giruliai, first of all we must choose a place where we want to elevate the railway hub of the port city.
Local communities were outraged that the development of planned infrastructure in the Giruliai forest may require deforestation of 30 to 50 hectares.
