The Sky’s quay is destroying the warehouse

Reminds the former port

Someday, in the most undetermined future, the Danges embankment will be open and freely accessible to all Klaipeda residents, and it is intended to install comfortable marinas for boats and even bicycle paths.

Inga Kubilienė, the head of the Municipal Environmental and City Management Division of the Municipality, did not speak, that it is long -distance plans for the implementation of this vision yesterday.

The beginning of the implementation of this vision was made – one of the warehouses was demolished, built in almost 1962. Next to the then trade base.

It stands on the very edge of the embankment and could be called a tin and wood structure structure.

Although his address is officially indicated on Artoji Street, it is very difficult to find this object.

The warehouse area of ​​the former Syrian factory has turned into a kind of ants of many companies with binding, cluttered courtyards and cars and other objects.

The number of warehouses in the Fachverk construction method is most distinguished between them.

This place is still an eloquent evidence of the Klaipeda port, which has been here since ancient times.

There is still a former railway bridge control house and remains of this bridge supports, and many other relics of the old port of Klaipeda can be seen.

The court marathon is over

Jonas Bičkus, a Klaipėda man who operates one warehouse, also used the said tin structure for a long time.

He said he had tried to legitimize the property of this building for many years, but failed to agree with the officials.

The litigation took several years.

Last autumn, the judicial proceedings, J. Bičkus and the company « Artoji port » ended, so far, using a tin warehouse, according to a final judgment, can no longer apply for it.

It is the land of the municipality and the warehouse was built here illegally.

The decision states that it is not privatized and unregistered in the Real Estate Register.

We would have done it at our own expense.

Will break for weeks

The municipality transferred this quay by trust to the budget institution Klaipėdos beaches.

Removing the said structure will open access to the quay.

Until now, he had interfered with the waterfront and would have become an obstacle to the installation of the pontoon marina.

I. Kubilienė assured that the warehouse would be demolished within weeks.

For this, the municipality will pay about 20 thousand. euros.

Perhaps this work will take a little longer than planned, as there are still things that will take time to transport.

It is planned that the first pontoonic marina will be provided with the administration of the municipal quays, and responsible persons will be appointed.

The intended development of the marina should include a 400 m stretch.

It is also expected to revive the shores of Dangė, and it is desirable that the paths for walking and bicycles and the lounges will emerge.

The installation of the pontoon marina at the building of the Garage Street with the number 6 is the first step in major changes to the Danges.

Wanted to arrange for themselves

Mr Bičkus resented the process and said that he would have arranged the quay with other entrepreneurs with other entrepreneurs if he had received a plan of the city authorities, how the quay should look.

« We would have done it at our own expense, and now it will cost all Klaipeda residents because of the city budget. This is the money of all of us that the city could have used for other things. Are we so rich that we have no place to use € 600,000? We repair them on the list of heritage sites, ”said J. Bičkus.

In a tin warehouse, the man allowed entrepreneurs to keep his boats and other larger items.

Commenting on J. Bičkus’ speech about the intention to arrange the quay with private funds, I. Kubilienė considered who would have administered the private quay facilities on the municipal land and who would have paid for it.
