The reconstruction of Karađorđe Park in Podgorica will cost more than 680.000 euros, and citizens could already enjoy the renovated park at the end of the year, the company "Zelenilo" told "Vijesta".
"Works on the reconstruction of Karađorđe Park began on October 24 of the current year. The tender documents stipulate that the works will last 70 working days, while this Society will make maximum efforts so that our fellow citizens can enjoy the reconstructed park at the end of the current year," said "Zelenil".
Except, as they claim, new furniture of contemporary design, from the company he heads Petar Krivokapić they also say that citizens will be able to walk on the restored footpaths, as well as exercise in the reconstructed outdoor gym.
"Also, worn-out park furniture will be replaced with new furniture of modern design, and the park will also receive new plants in several floors, i.e. new trees, bushes, ferns and others will be planted, while the existing plant stock will be refreshed with the application of all necessary phytosanitary measures. The entire plant fund will be supplied with water through the new irrigation system, which will be supplied with water from the well," said "Zelenil".
They emphasized that the central motif of the park will remain a monument around which, they claim, they will build a plateau that will connect all the walking paths.
Residents of nearby buildings protested last weekend and told "Zelenil" that they would not allow about fifty trees to be cut down in that park.
The competent city company said that they will remove only those trees that are in "poor condition and vitality".
"... And which are prone to fall, which means that they pose a danger to citizens during stronger winds and more abundant rainfall, and we have witnessed that in the past few years, climate change has led to major weather disasters that have often affected Podgorica as well," they said. .
They noted that a certain number of trees are of "spontaneous and invasive character (brausonetia and melia)".
"Their roots are very shallow, and the trees are crooked and therefore pose a danger to park visitors. Please note that not a single healthy tree of good vitality and decorativeness will be removed, and the project envisages the planting of over 100 adult tree seedlings, which will rejuvenate the park and make it safe for citizens," said "Zelenil".
