"We live in the neighborhood, but in practice are completely cut off from it"

(haipo) - Residents of the first building occupied in the (relatively) new neighborhood "Verdia on the Sea", at 15 Eric Sharon St., claim that they are completely separated from the Verdia neighborhood, even though when they chose to purchase the apartments, they were told that the building is part of the neighborhood.

'I thought I was staying in the neighborhood'

"I lived in Vardia," says one of the tenants in the building, "and I thought that when I buy an apartment in Vardia on the sea, I'm staying in the neighborhood, but in reality it's really not like that. Our building is not connected to any neighborhood. Every time I want to take one of my children to school or to a friend , I have to drive through the Geula Dormitory and make a turn," she says.

'How long?'

"The biggest problem is that my children can't walk into the Verdia neighborhood. There is a gate here that the contractor closes and they can't go to school or just to friends. So every time my little son has to get to school "Ehud" or just wants to drop by for an hour with a friend , I have to drive him and make a complete turn when in fact it's only a few hundred meters away. I don't understand why they don't pave the road here and arrange sidewalks. We've been living like this for a year and a half and it's not clear how much longer this will last."

According to the tenants, teenagers manage to climb and move from the building into the neighborhood, but smaller children do not succeed and need their parents to drive them. Also in terms of public transportation, after requests from the parents, a bus line was added that goes to Vardia on the sea, but from there it continues to the Hadar neighborhood, and the children usually have to get to Vardia, the mansion and the Carmel center.

'How will we convince the contractor to build the road?'

"The contractor says we have to walk all the way down to the bus stops of the Geula dormitory. We are stuck here and all day long I and the other neighbors in the building transport our children back and forth. They sold us the house as part of the Verdia neighborhood, but the neighborhood is completely closed to us. This is a terrible harm to the quality of life Of all of us, both us parents who have to drive all the time and also the children, who cannot be independent and depend on us for every little trip out of the house and back.

'disconnected, and without any logical reason'

"We are the first building to be occupied and we are dealing with the missing road, but in a few months another building will be occupied here and there will be more families cut off from the Vardia neighborhood, and for no logical reason. We turned to the municipality and asked them to help us with the contractor. He was supposed to pave the road years ago into the neighborhood and shorten our way, but he doesn't do it. We, as tenants here, what exactly can we do in front of the contractor to convince him to help us? We turn to the municipality and nothing happens."

Live in a quarry

As I recall, more than 5 years ago they started carving the mountain adjacent to the Verdia neighborhood. Residents in the neighborhood and also in the nearby Geula dormitories, found themselves living in a quarry for everything. The contractors carved the mountain and huge amounts of dust were scattered all over the area. Residents who live in the nearby streets complained that they suffer from breathing difficulties and incessant piles of dust inside the apartments. The works continued for many years, and this even before the beginning of the construction itself.

From the construction company 'Ofek Batan', it was stated that in such cases the municipality should be contacted.

The municipality's response:

"The road is expected to be developed in about two years. Until the opening of the road, the developer promotes, at the request of the residents and with the approval of the municipality, a temporary crossing that includes a safe crossing for pedestrians."

  1. The name "Verdia" aims to make this part of the Geula neighborhood more expensive. The proper name for these buildings is "Deliverance in front of the block".

  2. Every day that the destructive Ariel Waterman continues in his role - more and more of the quality of life in Haifa is destroyed by Total Loss.

  3. Like many other things in the country. Everything works crookedly. They do not consider and make it easy for the citizen. Conduct of a third world country.
    It's the same with the road system, the beach, the wild pigs, parades that are held on Moriah Boulevard and make the lives of the residents difficult in the place where they will be moved to the beach, etc., etc.

  4. Where will the mayor wake her up, she has been snoring for 3 years, a contractor, a contractor, but she is the "head" and she is confusing us, but Cinderella is sleeping…….. Go look at the roads in all of Haifa, filth, dirt, mess because Haifa does not have a mayor, only a wretched and napping tail…… .?????????

  5. Influential parties (officials in the municipality, lawyers, etc.) issued a delay order for the opening of the road against the Haifa municipality so that trucks do not pass through the Verdia neighborhood towards the project site until the construction is completed. And that's on account. Residents of the neighborhood if there is an emergency (fire) and the residents of the neighborhood will have to evacuate. The municipality of Haifa surrenders to the powerful

  6. Ofek Batan Not everything is money
    Even though that's all you're interested in
    All their staff sell keyboards
    Under there is a moose

  7. I told you (I'm the guy from Goula) that you were making a mistake and you weren't careful.
    I knew the combination and warned but you chose to say oh what do I even understand.

  8. That's not how you plan a neighborhood
    Destroyed half a mountain
    Turn the area into a quarry
    Lower the base of the buildings far below the level of the neighborhood
    And now the urban connection to Lordia simply does not exist
    I really ask myself how the municipality of Haifa allowed such an illogical move

    • Waterman is the answer. Mahdas is the worst city in Israel.
      Main road through Naot Peres.
      A disproportionate density of horrors in Habiva Reich.
      A destructive quarry on the slopes of Verdia.
      Steep streets and the destruction of an entire hill in Ramat Zemar.
      The destruction of Wadi Hagivorim to a quarry that did not become a park.
      The appalling planning of a sealed suburb with no public transport routes in Neot Peres B.
      Shall we continue??
      He is destructive!!!!

  9. And the property tax? Like Bordeaux? Or like in a redemption dormitory?

  10. They tore up Huadi's mother to build such ugliness, unnecessary! Crying for generations!!!
    Garbage bin designs in the city of Garbage Juice!!!! Third World.

    • There is not a single new building in Haifa that does not look like a concrete can.

      Noise, filth, zero class, noisy balconies without a hint of privacy, a view of scaffolding, parking lots in Asfemia -
      From only 3,850,000, call today.

  11. Shame shame shame to fire all the free food in the municipality of Haifa and Yafa one hour earlier, unthinkable!

  12. In the Haifa municipality, the left hand is not coordinated with the right hand. The municipality has an agenda to free the imprisoned neighborhoods. Verdia is one of them. It has one exit and the new road gives another exit. Important in emergency situations. And on the other hand, they don't open it. The explanation is that there are senior officials in the municipality or people with influence in the municipality who are delaying the opening of the road so that trucks and heavy vehicles do not pass through the neighborhood towards the project site,

  13. Take the initiative and park vehicles and block the contractor's access to the site with fifty vehicles. Invite the national media for a survey and invade the Waterman office with cameras and the children demanding to join immediately or stop the construction on the site. Come on, what are you waiting for in the municipality of Harfa, only such people understand. Two garbage trucks and she surrenders to the workers' committee like Tatal'a.

    • You are not wrong, but the contractor was basically not wrong here either.
      The municipality is the problem, but even if you lie on the floor at the entrance you will not advance anywhere.
      I wish, I wish everyone on one clear day and in a dramatic fashion would stop paying property taxes and collapse the strategy of individual foreclosures.

  14. Haifa Municipality is solely responsible. Although it committed to opening the road in an official letter in July 2021, it does not enforce this on the developer, and continues to issue him building permits for the other buildings. The counselor. Legally she disappeared, the city engineer talks to the developer and the mayor refuses to meet the residents. The children are cut off from their social environment, and the parents are busy commuting every day, all day.

  15. When urban planning looks like a third world.
    When there is no public transportation, no stairs or walkways and people "desperately need a connecting road"
    When you give an occupancy form to a building without infrastructure, which is in the middle of a huge construction site
    When the city engineer allows wild quarrying that destroys an amazing wadi for an unnecessary project and an even more unnecessary road.
    This is what Haifa looks like, you know, zero in planning. Zero quality of life. They only know how to do rituals of naming streets and promenades after people.
    Everything else in the city just doesn't work. The director of engineering and the city engineer are among the worst in the history of planning in Israel.
    From Habiva Reich through the slopes of Verdia to Neot Peres prison because of the stadium, simply appalling planning at the worst level.

    • The grade is not zero - one cannot be delicate in the face of such omissions - the grade is much less than zero - this is a negative grade - a deadly negative. At the same time, the big failures are at the door, we have not yet experienced them from a practical point of view, in the future the public will prove and understand that the failures of today (year 2022 - 1,200) are heaven compared to what is going to happen here in the coming years - with the construction monsters of the evacuation and construction (for example The cemetery project of the Azorim company - over 3 apartments (the old tenants receive apartments with one air direction that are not at all suitable for living and building in Israel) - adjacent to a new cemetery in the heart of the Neve David neighborhood (contrary to Amendment 19 to TMA XNUMX - inside the river and with the risk of collapse The tangible land - something that will bring the apartments closer to the coastal plain; with the neighborhood of the southern entrances B - the elimination of the streams, the cancellation of the city park and the highlight: the paralyzing traffic jams; the Pershkovsky towers in Naot Peres Mizrah - the slums being cleared for construction in the coastal neighborhoods and many more projects (without transportation solutions and infrastructures) that generate huge sums for a significant part of the decision makers - while totally destroying the city - we said today is heaven compared to the future. Happy New Year.

  16. The municipality is in the contractor's pocket, the residents are transparent in their eyes. Despite an express commitment (in writing) by the contractor and the municipality to open the road to Vardia by July 2021, in practice there is not even a pedestrian crossing. The legal advisor who gave the commitment has disappeared, the city engineer is talking to the contractor and the mayor refuses to meet the tenants. The children are cut off from their social environment, and the parents are busy all day transporting the children to schools, classes, etc.

    • I told you (I'm the guy from Goula) that you were making a mistake and you weren't careful.
      I knew the combination and warned but you chose to say oh what do I even understand.
