Residential complex instead of a road: residents of Ermensai opposed the new development

Almaty. August 15th. KAZAKHSTAN TODAY - Residents of the Ermensai microdistrict in Almaty oppose the construction of a new residential complex, which is being built instead of a road. According to them, due to the lack of a road, traffic jams have already begun on narrow streets, the CPC TV channel reports. The former suburban area is already overpopulated. And if new buildings are erected, the amount of transport will obviously increase, and the load on engineering networks will increase," the story says. The road was provided in the general plan of the city. But instead of a highway behind this fence in the middle of the former suburban area, they are going to build a large residential complex. Residents strongly disagree with this. Here, according to the general plan of the city, there is a highway that should be built in the future. We are standing with you, there should be a road here that should go from Dulati to Remizovka. We ask to recognize the resolution of the Akimat on the adjustment of this plan invalid, because there is a road here. There was originally a T zone here . These are engineering transport networks, but they made the zone residential, and this is wrong," says one of the community members Zhanna Smailova. The fact that large-scale construction is coming in the neighborhood, residents learned in the spring. Lawsuits have been going on since then. People called the Akimat and the Department of Urban Planning and Urban Studies to account. In their opinion, the design document on the basis of which the permit was issued was illegally changed in favor of the developer. There were violations on the part of urbanism, because here, according to the general plan and the road map, there is a big road. It is believed that it is circular, which will bring out and unload our transport collapse. But nevertheless, the judge took the side of the developer. Oh, government agencies. She left the cancellation of the decree of the akimat in changing the PDP unchanged. All residents are experiencing a shortage of water, sewerage, we do not have normal roads," says another resident Lyudmila Sengirbayeva. Another resident, Ivan Panchenko, says that the load on the engineering networks is already enormous. Not only is it dirty, it also goes intermittently. It turns out, that's the pressure. I associate this pressure with a large number of houses that he connected, and a small network bandwidth. Elementary, we can't wash normally, we can't water the lawn," the man says. Residents say: the developer knows about their discontent, but he has a construction permit. People address their questions to officials. The Department of Urban Planning and Urban Studies offers to solve everything in court. Local driveways and district roads are not taken into account by the master plan, except for the main roads. This passage was recorded in the draft detailed layout, unfortunately, there is a norm that allows you to make changes to this document. Apparently, this road was changed, in accordance with it, a land plot was provided for construction," says the acting Head of the Department of Urban Planning and Urbanism of Almaty Nurlan Boranbayev. Residents assured that they were not going to stop and would try to ensure that a highway still appeared at this place. People are now trying to appeal the ruling of the judge who did not support their position. But there is no exact date when the result will be announced yet. It is only known that the decision should be made before the middle of autumn. Earlier, an action against the development of mountainous areas and the cutting down of apple orchards was held on the Kamensk plateau in Almaty. Kazakhstan Today agency published reviews of Almaty residents about the work of the city authorities. It was also reported that Almaty residents launched a petition demanding the resignation of Akim of Almaty Yerbolat Dosayev. About 75 thousand people signed the petition. Almaty residents complain about the transport collapse in the city, which arose due to road repairs. Compacting buildings in the city causes problems with communications, difficulties with parking, leads not only to complication of environmental problems, but also to overload of water and electricity supply networks. This summer, residents of a number of districts of Almaty are forced to endure inconveniences due to water outages. Recall that residents of the Nauryzbay district complained about a prolonged water outage, while in the State Enterprise "Almaty su" they were warned about water outage for only two days. Also, a problem with water supply arose in the Medeu district of the city. In addition, transport and compacting buildings are the main causes of polluted air in Almaty. President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev said that the problem of polluted air in Almaty has become one of the most important for citizens and requires an immediate solution. According to Bulat Kenesov, director of the Center for Physico-Chemical Methods of Research and Analysis of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, Almaty is among the top 5 most polluted cities in the world in terms of suspended particles. Last year, residents of Almaty complained to the ex-Minister of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources Serikkali Brekeshev about dirty air. Deputy Zakirzhan Kuziev noted that the Almaty authorities should recognize air pollution as the main problem in the city.
