On the sidewalks of the main street of “Radishanska”, in the suburban neighbourhood of Radishani – Municipality of Butel, under the shopping center and in front of the primary school “Aco Shopov”, there is no space for pedestrians to walk freely.
In order to get to the bus stop, you need to walk in the middle of the street, or go through the shopping center in order to arrive safely and without getting dirty to the bus stop. The garbage bins are placed on the sidewalk, on the very edge, the garbage is spattered almost to the middle of the street, and there are vehicles constantly parked on the sidewalk.
The “Radishani” neighbourhood is considered as one of the cleanest, most peaceful and most organized urban areas, but that goes only for the interior of the neighbourhood. The main street, on which vehicles pass to get to the second, third entrance of the neighbourhood, and to the village of Ljubanci, in the commercial part of the neighbourhood, is not safe for passers-by, especially for the students of the “Aco Shopov” primary school. As a resident of the neighbourhood, I urge the municipal authorities, namely, the Municipality of Butel, to take measures to take care of the chaos on the “Radishanska” street. To dislocate the garbage bins to an appropriate place, in order to free the sidewalks for citizens to be able to move about freely and safely. Not to allow parking of vehicles, since the shopping mall has a parking lot, and to punish police officers who occasionally appear on the street, but do not take any measures.
The photos are taken at 8.30 in the morning. From 7.00 am to 7.30 pm, the sidewalks are filled with parked vehicles of parents bringing their children to school, so we have to walk on the street, often waiting for several minutes in one place, as there is traffic chaos.
