After the first meeting, the representatives of the Ecopark project on Osokorki Centralni in Kyiv left the negotiation process on the completion of the Arcade projects with the authorities and developers and decided to collaborate with pseudo-activists attacking the construction sites of the Patriotika, Patriotika on the Lakes and Evrika residential complexes and take away the sand from there. At the same time, several projects for a park in the area have already been prepared, and residents and activists are invited to discuss them.
The founder of the public organization "Center for the Protection of Kyivans", businesswoman Vlada Molchanova spoke about this in an interview.
We discussed this issue, together with the mayor. I was the initiator and invited the representatives of "Ecopark" to hear their position. But after the first meeting, they actually withdrew from the negotiation process. For me, this is also a very weird situation: people are trying to do something, there is a position of the city authorities, there is a mayor who wants to assist, to understand, and who devotes his time and attention to this ... There is me who is trying to moderate this and to glue it together ... And Ecopark simply quits from the negotiation process, and instead collaborates with some unknown structures, pseudo-activists in the balaclavas. This is not constructive, but destructive. I am sure that all parties understand the need to create a new park area in this densely populated area of the city. Especially since an area of more than 100 hectares is provided for this. We are ready to present a project. What is interesting, within this territory there is a proposal to create a large zoo, similar to the one in Kharkiv, which will bring joy not only to the residents of Osokorki and Poznyaky but also to the entire left bank of Kyiv. We invite all parties to jointly develop the concept of the park in the surrounding areas - both the Ecopark public organization and all interested residents," she said.
Vlada Molchanova spoke about the biggest problems that investors are concerned about after signing the memorandum on the completion of the Arkada projects, and also named the approximate dates for their completion.
"The main issue is the timing of when the houses will be completed and put into operation. And its solution largely depends on how today the state will be able to raise funds on a repayable basis for the speedy completion. I believe and will make every effort to make this happen as soon as possible. And I will do everything to ensure that all parties fulfill their obligations to the people of Kyiv, and housing is completed. With the active participation of all parties, the tasks of completing the construction of Arkada Bank facilities can be completed in a few years. And I will have the opportunity to continue to communicate with the investors already being in their own apartments," she said.
