Another symbol of Belgrade could soon go down in history - tram line number 2. The city administration's plan to close Paris Street has caused a revolt of citizens and organizations that are going out for a warning protest this weekend.
Activists of the "Belgrade Remains" initiative called on citizens to protest against the shutdown on Sunday, August 10 tram 2 and the closure of Pariska Street in the city center.
The organizers say that with these moves "the historical symbol of the capital is abolished - circle of two", which, as they state, would lead to serious disruption of public transport and difficulty in the movement of citizens.
"The closure of Pariska Street means the cancellation of tram 2, additional congestion of alternative routes, the cutting off of the citizens of Dorćol and turning this part of the city into a dead end. Citizens will have to climb to the center on foot, and the city center is practically moving towards Belgrade on the water," the organizers said in a statement.
They especially point out that Paris is a strategic traffic direction, while the tram "double circle" is part of Belgrade's identity.
Criticizing the city authorities, the organizers also recall earlier decisions that caused dissatisfaction among citizens, such as the removal of pedestrian crossings, the installation of "signs against the rain" and, as they claim, the general neglect of public transportation.
"Perhaps the city government benefits from these plans, but the citizens are only harmed," say the activists.
Protest under the slogan "Streets for the people - not for individuals!" it will be an opportunity, according to the organizers, for citizens to gather and express their opposition to the plans of the city administration.
