"From this parking lot generates huge traffic. Every night there are several matches, about 20 cars come for each, and it sends a huge fine dust all over the street. All the leaves of the trees are covered with this dust, we breathe it. At least 15-20 children under the age of 10 live in the most affected area alone. This parking lot turned out not to have a single permit, not a single agreement, it does not exist with legal peace. It's not rented out, someone just poured gravel and is using it so that it can be comfortable for visitors to the sports center," Lyubomir Kostadinov told Radio Sofia.
In his words, the case is absurd, since the object is public-state property, in a military area.
"14 decares from the yard of the Academy are leased, 22 decares are actually used according to geodetic measurements of the Academy itself. The reason for the parking lot is that the traffic is so heavy, so many cars come, even the Military Academy employees themselves conflict with the other cars. There is no place for all the cars", explained Lyubomir Kostadinov.
He has already sent a signal to the mayor of the Capital Municipality and RIOSV-Sofia. Despite repeated warnings, the parking lot has been operating for years.
Rumyana Galabova from the Directorate "Climate, Energy and Air" in the Metropolitan Municipality explained that since the property is public-state property, it is within the authority of the municipality to issue instructions to the owner of the property to take action.
"The ownership is currently being clarified, but since this is not municipal property, we cannot react immediately. The owner of the property is responsible for taking action, and everything possible will be done to send instructions for taking actions that will lead to the prevention of dust from the object in question," said Rumyana Galabova.
