"I do not want and can not" - to such conclusion coordinator of the organizing committee of the party "Belarusian Christian Democracy" Tatiana Sevyarynets, when she received a letter from the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning at its electronic circulation in Vitebsk city executive committee about the paths for bicycles.

"...The creation of bicycle paths through the application of special markings on the pavement in the situation in the central part of the city, consider it inappropriate, because according to TAP 45-3.03-227-2010 bicycle lane width should be at least 1 meter, and a pedestrian walkway - not less than 1.2 m ... to expand and organization roadway lane bicycle or bike tracks it is necessary to increase the width of average of one meter in each direction of movement. In some places, it will lead to insufficient contraction and so sized sidewalks in others - to reduce the land citizens and legal persons, which is also impossible..."

"Meanwhile, we do not require marking all over the city. It is clear that it takes all the effort, which is written in the letter of the answer. But the sidewalks in the city center and at the periphery where many broad. We measured the their usual sewing meter. For example at Prospect Builders width of sidewalks is 4.75 meters, on Chkalov, Moscow Avenue, Chernyakhovskogo Smolensk, Frunze, Victory, soldiers-internationalists, Kirov, Komsomolskaya, Lenin, Tereshkova, brow, Gorky - the same, with slight variations: where -That little more somewhere a little less, but not less than the required 2.2 meters. There are streets where passersby found in for once. A lot of cyclists. And they are more likely to move around the city on business, and not just blow away the cobwebs left "- said Tatiana Sevyarynets.

"There's such a conclusion: if a person wants, he seeks out, makes, and if not - look for an excuse. Officials in Vitebsk do not want to. So, this problem will remain until the headache for the chief of the department of traffic management Vitebsk Victor Kosenkov" - said she said, adding that activists will continue to work to solve the problem.
