The Lost Boardwalk - Reminder:
- April 2012 - Yahav announces the beginning of planning for this wonderful promenade.
- October 2018 - two weeks before the elections and "only" six years after the announcement of the establishment of the boardwalk - Yahav breaks down the wall of the BHD in a festive ceremony and hopes that this rabbit will help him to do the magic of the elections. The magic was not successful.
- September 2020 - two years after the breaking of the wall - Kalish inaugurates the boardwalk in the presence of Mrs. Hulda Gurevich.
- September 2021 - a year has passed since the celebratory ceremony of Klish - there is no change and the boardwalk is closed and closed.
► Yehoram Shitrit, the social activist from the Bat Galim neighborhood went out and produced a video in the field
So why is the Rat Promenade not opened to the public?
In the inspection we conducted, it turns out that in the eastern part of the boardwalk, a bridge over a cove was planned. The bay is used by the navy to go out to sea with small rubber boats. The Navy demanded certain arrangements regarding the design of the bridge, in order to prevent contact between the public and the soldiers. Since then, no arrangement has been found, so the boardwalk has not been opened to the public.
And what do the Haifa municipality say?
The Haifa municipality refused to comment, therefore the public does not know the exact details and when the boardwalk is expected to open. Although the urban area belongs to the public, what happens with the project is a secret of the Haifa municipality. transparency.
As they took care of the casino structure and the blessing next to it, everything else is just before me, the proposed elections from the Magida program. Halas!!! Start taking advantage of what nature has given for the benefit of the general public..
I am not from Haifa in the past, but I was born here in 1937, it is very painful to read such striking comments. They said no to the mayor, you have no chance in the next elections, the best way is to go to the streets, a small gift to improve MAZA - and the demonstration will do the job!
Very sad. I would be happy to hear a response from the mayor!
Why can't you finish the project?
This is how the unfortunate Haifa apartment works: first they build a show-promenade and do a show-demolition of a wall at Yona Bluff and then they remember to close the details of connecting the boardwalk over the small bay used by the navy.
It is clear that until the Navy flies its BHD, the home of the Calebists from Dania who send their brave children with the 4x4 jeep to be "course instructors" in the BHD - until all this good and pleasant is not flown to another beach strip and not in the middle of a neighborhood Residential, not just rat board stuck. Every breakwater is stuck. Not just stuck. Soon it will be surrounded by 4 railroad tracks with fences higher than the fences of a navy base. Fences 4-5 meters high. Bat Galim will look like a small corral between Neglected promenades and huge electromagnetic radiation and noise from 4 high-speed railways.
It is possible that the purpose of the area is different
Let's start small. In the construction of a respectful toilet structure for the benefit of the thousands of marchers every day several kilometers from the Dado promenade to Bat Galim beach. In the middle of the route there are only two ugly and hygienically repulsive plastic cubicles, which no one dares to use. Marchers are forced to defecate behind the bushes along the boardwalk to protect the hearts of the residents in the area. Klish is an architect. It seems to you??? What is the problem with using for this purpose the spaces designated for the surfing school under the interchange near restaurants and right in the middle of the track??
Congratulations to Yoram Shetrit, the next mayor! Every day in the neighborhoods, a visiting assistant activates the youth in soccer, always happy, always stops the pink car to ask what it sounds like, and is always genuine, says everything inside, and also forces them to do it thanks to the Internet! You are a genius, dear city champion. Brother, we only choose you! Without the ones above, we are tired of them.
Hi Yaron. The rat promenade in Bat Galim must always be clean. The operations administration of the Haifa municipality must take care of this. pleasant evening.
True
It is very sad that this is the case. I wanted to walk there and show the place to friends and I was very disappointed that it was still closed. I volunteered and performed through Huldah from the age of 12 and I was also happy to take part in the lot removal ceremony held in her presence. Her excitement and ours was very great. What will…?
open now
What is the problem with opening the promenade even without the bridge in question... a dead end promenade, you go to the end and turn back. Like this whole country - with no way out
Everything is good and beautiful and also true, the words of Korodbanan and the article finds everything
But, leave the navy alone - it is a security line that protects Haifa from an enemy invasion, and for that be thankful that we have the army at our disposal, leave security to those who understand. The fact is that there is no connection, there is simply neglect, and neglect like all the other things that the municipality does not take care of.
Failed management and conduct - the government should intervene.
Look, we are not innocent. Even if they had opened some kind of shelter there, it would not have changed the situation. The only thing that will change the situation of Bat Galim, including the marking of Haifa as a sea city with a sea city atmosphere, is to build a beautiful marina in this exact area. We return from Dubai, see how they built marinas and boardwalks there and are ashamed of Haifa where the surfers, including you, are fighting against the development of the coastline of this city and in fact it is a stagnation of 30 wasted years. Because the marina was already planned in the 90s. You didn't want a big marina on top of the mountain, legit. But now also to stick a small marina in front of Rambam?? Rabak what is there now?? A parking lot and rocks?!
Crying over "Haifa's potential". Come on, let's implement it already.
All Mediterranean cities have upgraded their coastal strips. Even Tel Aviv renovated the marina area, Gordon's pool, the port, the promenades, built a bridge around Reading and cleared the garbage mountain from the Jaffa beaches. Now developing the Jaffa port complex and the dolphinarium area. How they are finished will open the promenades in Sde Dov. Since Huldai came in, there hasn't been a month in his office that he hasn't dealt with some kind of improvement on Tel Aviv's coastline. In contrast, Yahav did not touch Haifa's shores for 15 years. Neglect Hoof Neot, Bat Galim, Dedo. Even breakwaters were not built to prevent the retreat of the sands at Dado. criminal negligence.
This is the mayor that some people here miss... are you crazy??
Where is Huldai and where is Yahav and Klish... He left them dust and sand. Tel Aviv promenades are full of activity, an international level attraction.
Haifa promenades are full of failures. From the breakwater restaurant and the abandoned casino in Bat Galim to the ugly Carmel Beach towers and the pirate caravan park that has now grown as another pus in the lack of development of Dado's beaches. It's lucky that the Greens demanded Park Hecht, because Yahav wanted to designate the area for industry and said that no one would come to Park Hecht and it's an unnecessary place... Luckily there was the donor Hecht otherwise there wouldn't have been even this little bit. For 4 years he was not able to establish a small surfing center but an exchange built us there.. only exchanges know how to build here.
The residents of Haifa will wake up from the 30-year hibernation of the dying beauty. The naval base must be evacuated from Bat Galim. Free us as you knew how to free Ramat Gan from Zerifin and Petah Tikva from Sirkin and Tel Aviv from Sde Dov.. We are not the stepdaughter in an Israeli family in whose room all the environmental hazards, pollution and bases are thrown. Free us from this suffocating naval base and let us build there Kiryat hotels and apartment towers, a marina for hundreds of vessels, a strip of restaurants and beach volleyball courts and a bathing area. Stop pouring money on stupid cable cars, 300 million shekels could upgrade all of Haifa's promenades. Lift them by a meter , to prevent winter flooding. To create breakwaters to prevent sand retreat in Dedo. To develop all the southern parking lots into a new additional promenade.
Where is Dado and where is the beach promenade in Bat Aviv.
Where is Bat Galim and where is the Herzliya Promenade.
We are in the shit of a beach town. awkward. degrading. degrading. disgusting. outdated. ugly.
And 100 people in the barges of Haifa that the mayors invest in to hang signs on our neglected beaches will not cover this truth. No matter how beautiful visualizations and promises they will be marketed here between elections. Haifa's planning and city engineer departments are a weight on the neck of resounding failures. Just learning what not to do - from the little that Yahav did and even less of Klish.
Now the Israel Railways will come with the additional tracks, with fences and electricity poles, with the huge station they want on the Carmel beach and the little that exists of functioning beaches, it will take from the public in Haifa and in return give them a passing train every 5 minutes with the residents of the north on their way to spend time on the promenades of Herzliya and Tel Aviv. What a disgrace.
Wow, what a serious response. Reflects what many Haifa people think. You should think about running for the city council
A very beautiful video, with sensitivity, without arguing and accusations, only if there are question marks from a person who hurts the subject
As the former Bat Galimi Bat Galim was neglected for many years and a great many minors that were not taken care of for preservation and those that were not rehabilitated
Like the casino building and other neglected buildings
I think the plans should be completed
of eviction and construction to renew the neighborhood and we don't need a marina that will destroy the neighborhood's tzavion
You need to invest in preserving and expanding businesses
and entertainment places the neighborhood used to be
Haifa's recreation center today mostly does not exist, although there are also many spots
Or should also bring many young people and yes
To make the neighborhood prosper and kudos to those who are trying to make it happen
And you don't hear anything in the video why?
Dear Yoram,
Thanks for the investment, the video is fantastic
I am with you in your just fight to open the boardwalk.
Just a note: even in our Carmel neighborhoods, the neglect is criminal, there is no minimal maintenance and no investment tax
The mayor and the municipality are not functioning and this is evident in the entire city.
Noa, a resident of the Western Carmel
The municipality of Haifa has been captured by the underworld and this is literally the 90th minute to fight another phenomenon. In the coming years, we will be charged a protection fee in property taxes and, as the trackers said, whoever opposes will "stand up".
Like many other issues, the lack of professionalism of the municipal administration is sky high.
Couldn't they check that there is a boardwalk at all? The main thing is that they arrived in the area with Ms. Huldah, put up a sign and went home.
If the boardwalk is open to pedestrians or, it's no longer interesting, the main thing is to take pictures.
Today I took a walk on the boardwalk in Bat Galim and it really hurt to see the fence and the white elephant. A guaranteed and beautiful boardwalk that fell out of the Klish plan. It's a shame.
