The schedule of another object of the program for the restoration of Crimea after Ukraine has been disrupted
The embankment around the famous lake of healing mud in the Crimean city of Saki was not completed on time. Instead, the builders dug up the shore, turning it into a swamp, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Earlier, the head of the Sak administration, Andrei Ivkin, publicly promised that the embankment would be commissioned in December 2018. The facility was included in the federal target program for the development of Crimea, from which 700 million rubles were allocated for construction.
Ivkin publicly promised to equip 2,2 km of the embankment with gazebos for relaxation, playgrounds, “squares with green sculptures and dry themed fountains” and even the remains of dinosaurs recreated from luminous elements. It was also planned to equip slopes to the lake both for healthy people and for wheelchair users - the main contingent of vacationers in Saki.
Instead, a two-meter wall appeared on the shore of the lake, and the shore itself was disfigured. If the situation does not change before the summer, then tourists will not even be able to approach it to smear themselves with the famous healing mud. This angers local residents.
“They are trying to develop and sell off the territory of the sanitary protection zone of a unique mud lake. The lake has already suffered irreparable damage. At the very least, the construction of an embankment along a unique mud lake and chemical plant settling tanks looks strange. Saki was a resort of all-Union significance, but has become an unpaved village,” wrote city resident Olga Finogentova on her Facebook page.
City authorities promise to commission the facility in the first half of 2019. Meanwhile, land on the shore is actively being put up for sale.
