Yekaterinburg Forest Park will capture prehistoric animals

The proponents of the Shartash Forest Park reconstruction project have not given themselves the task of resuscitating Shartash Lake, and the focus will be on the development of the sport-walking segment . This was known during public hearings in late July

Needless to say, Shartashsky Forest Park is perhaps the most iconic natural object of the megalopolis. In February, residents expressed their opinion on the ideas of the designers, on the instructions of the company UralDorTechnology, which undertook the transformation of the coastal area of ​​Shartash into a kind of Sokolniki of Moscow.

The February meeting, discussed in detail by the Uralinformbureau, was cautiously cautious: city residents generally endorsing the idea of ​​rebuilding recommended preserving the existing volleyball fields in the park and handing them over. things in order with public toilets and car parks. This time, the discussion was devoted to the impact of planned work on ecology, as well as the layout of the park in areas with a specific purpose. The discussion turned out much more acute

The final verdict: 108 for, 10 against, both abstained … and 35 in general have mysteriously disappeared.

The idea of ​​zoning the forest park itself did not raise any issues. The representative of the Department of Landscape Construction of the Ural State Forest University, Lyudmila Atkina, specified what was the area of ​​attraction of the park

according to her , divided into 8 thematic areas: sports and – the west shore of the lake), children's recreation (near the recreational base "Karasiki" and along Recreation Street), the promenade (eastern coast ), scientific and historical (east and west coast), southeastern parts of the forest park at its junction with the Egorshinsky approach and Vysotsky street), reforestation ( flooded south shore) and the "rest area" – a reserve area not intended for the operation of the park

On the sports field there will be fields for mini-football basketball , tennis, wright and streetball (including a specialized playground for the disabled), as well as the sports sector. gility (obstacle course for canine sport) "), where host Eva will walk her pet on all fours.

The Longest Path ( across the south end and east of the lake) called "Stone Path" – historical-cognitive route with visual didactic materials along the entire course dedicated to history, the Archeology, geology and ecology of the park.

Here too it is planned to install sculptures Judging by the presentation, their sculpture will be occupied by the sculptor Leonid Petrov.

In addition, on the south shore near the village of Peski, it is planned to build a boat with a stack of ecological materials

The question naturally arises: how will construction affect the green zone, water resource and soil condition? UralDorTechnology's environmental manager, Natalia Afanasyeva, said the negative impact on nature during the improvement works will be short-lived and insignificant. To protect the lake and underground springs, builders must put in place water protection measures, and damage to the forest outside the projected areas, as well as trash with their garbage, are totally out of the way. question

. Olga Konovalova recalled that scientists say the lake in 50 years will turn into a swamp, and it must be rescued urgently – and only then "improve" the forest park. "Why are there sand beaches designed there, if in the lake medical doctors from year to year can not swim and what to do with woodpeckers and squirrels disappearing from the forest park?", Did she ask the designers of the concept

According to the townspeople, one must first save Shartash himself, which is gradually becoming a swamp

and for his salvation, a separate regulation is necessary The fate of the tank has "hovered", as well as the prospects of the current tenants of the Shartash coast Arthur Ziganshin, director of the Shartashsky Forest Park, which has just been created by the SBU, has already spoken about this topic in his conversation with the correspondent of Uralinformburo

"For all tenants, we systematize information.The facts of self-seizing plots and the illegal discovery of entrepreneurs ( on the territory of a forest park – ed.) have already been revealed In the near future, an active phase of working with tenants is expected, "he promised.

But Ziganshin could not say anything about parking for visitors to the park: "This work is related to the interaction with the municipal administration.

Alexander Umnikov considers that the concept of park development is "Unilateral"

"The concept seems to be one-sided," said Alexander Umnikov, who had previously fought for the position of Forest Park Director – "It represents a vision for the development of the park's environmentalists and forest managers, but does not take into account the views of specialists in landscaping, urban planning, architecture, archeology and culturology.It is necessary to connect a group of experts from all of these areas to finalize it otherwise we will be ashamed tomorrow if we vote with bay-barahta for what they saw today. 19659002] This, apparently, was a goodbye to Arth ur Ziganshin, whose director on Chartash raises more and more critical remarks city dwellers. And by and large, by majority vote, the Shartash Forest Park Zoning Plan was supported.
