(haipo) - Half a year since the last elections and after many hopes and expectations on the part of the residents - central streets in Haifa have returned to a state of severe neglect, which reminds the residents of the sad period before the change of local government, when complaints about the cleanliness of the city reached new highs. The Bat Galim neighborhood, which is supposed to be the pearl of Haifa on the sea line, seems far from being the "Haifa Riviera" they dreamed of.
◄ Sidewalks washed last winter • Watch
A visit to the streets of the Bat Galim neighborhood reveals grim sights - sidewalks covered in dirt, safety rails that were green turned black from the droppings of birds and pigeons. Streets photographed during last Shabbat 2/11/24, by Yuval Busin, chairman of the neighborhood committee, leave no doubt: the sidewalks have not been cleaned for a long time and the neglect is evident.
In a conversation with Chai Feh, Busin describes a deep disappointment with the municipality's conduct: "We were promised frequent cleaning and the use of sweeping machines three times a week, but in practice this does not happen. The streets remain dirty, the sidewalks are not washed, and the neglect is evident in every corner," he says.
◄ Neglect and accumulated dirt in the center of the neighborhood • Watch
◄ Continuous neglect in Bat Galim • Watch
◄ The center area of the coffee shops in the neighborhood • Watch
According to Busin, in the past he was in charge of cleaning in the neighborhood who did a very good job and to the satisfaction of the residents, who even praised him with a letter of thanks, which they also forwarded to the municipality. To the disappointment of the residents, the joy did not last long and the person in charge was transferred to another neighborhood, leaving Bat Galim with only two cleaning workers who are unable to cope with the workload.
◄ Layers of plaster on the railings and sidewalks • Watch
It should be noted that immediately after the mayoral elections, there was a positive turn regarding cleaning. Residents were happy to see that the city is finally starting to look like it did in previous years - well-kept, clean and beautiful, but as we know, the joy was short-lived and only a few months later, the situation returned to normal, and many neighborhoods in the city returned to their sad state of continuous neglect.
The Haifa Municipality informed Haifa:
"The Bat Galim neighborhood is cleaned regularly and every day. The cleaning is carried out by the workers of the sanitation department manually and with the help of mechanical tools, which include, among other things, a crane for removing trimmings and scraps that operates in the neighborhood every day. In addition, as promised by the municipality, a road sweeper was added to the cleaning of the neighborhood, which works to clean the central streets of the neighborhood every day and the rest of the streets twice a week. Alongside all of this, it should be noted that we are in the midst of the dropout period and therefore even after the cleaning workers clean the street may get dirty."
A joke once ran that the street the mythical mayor Goral lived on was shiny.
There is also a cleanliness problem in the lower city.
The cleaners and their supervisors must wake up. Unfortunately they don't…
The people who spend time without manners and care and the garbage they throw on the sidewalks are also shameful.
I offered to run a 24*7 cleaning patrol in the recreation areas, but there is no attention.
It seems that this is a teasing on the part of the neighborhood committee, it is known that we are in the autumn period and there is a natural fall of leaves so that they are piled up on the streets of the cities here and all over the world, security needs must also be taken into account in this busy period, one should not load up with false complaints, it would be nice if the head of the committee would organize a neighborhood cleanup committee from the residents along with the rusts of my house The barber cleaned the streets of their residential neighborhood themselves instead of burdening them unnecessarily with their pretended and stupid whining, their complaint is dismissed with contempt and they should be rolled with tar and feathers from all the stairs in shame.
You gave up on city architect.. you got dirt!
Unfortunately, years of neglect, starting from the connection between Motzkin and Kiryat Haim, along the Motzkin train station.
It's interesting that only my comments are waiting for approval. I should probably lick you and the filthy mayor to complain. Pat on you.
I'm not surprised that your comments are awaiting approval. I am surprised that they are approved.
The Honorable Mayor is invited to Gaula Street and the filth from the trees is a hideout for thousands of pigeons and bats and doves. Yona Yahav come to Gaula Street. To Arlozorov Bar Kochba Street. Michael. Just look at how we residents that you forgot live and live here. Bring a bucket and wet wipes for vomiting and diarrhea.

There is nothing to be done, people will always complain.
Cleanliness is a weak point of the municipality. It's never enough. It depends on one's point of view. Leaves are not dirt, they are nature of the fall season.
The question is what will the sea look like after the first rain when all the garbage in the drainage ditches that have not been cleaned reaches the sea.
And what can I say that I live in the Carmeli Brigade neighborhood, which stinks, full of cockroaches, snakes, mosquitoes, and also flies. You can't open a window. I've applied to the municipality many times. The main thing is that they know how to take property taxes. That's how Haifa became a disgusting filth. At the time of the late Abba Khushi, the city was as clean as a pharmacy.
Clean your living environment yourself together with the children of the neighborhood who will learn to appreciate their environment and you will contribute to raising their level of appreciation and education for ecology and the environment...and stop confusing the brain
You can also come to take photos in the Kabvir neighborhood
All of Haifa is dirty, not just Bat Galim
So Father feels that he is needed.
The residents stink, pollute and pollute.
People have no culture.
Let them live with what they produce and face the consequences of their behavior
Lord! What are you paying high property tax for???
It is clear that the resident is guilty, but a chain?
Every word
The cleaners don't know how to clean because it wasn't explained to them
How do you work?
The dirt is thrown aside near the plants, instead of being collected and thrown in the trash.
for three leaves
Their managers the world did not visit the area
Washing sidewalks????-Dreams in aspemia,
The bus stops with signs and advertisements
Some without trash cans
After her appeal to correct the situation, they make sure to answer because they were there and took care...
No care and no shoes!!!!!
This is how it is in Ramat Hadar
So why would the cleanliness in Bat Galim be different from another neighborhood??????
The face of the municipality is the face of its neighborhoods.
shame!!!!!!!
Every word is a rock of truth!
Haifa is a very complex city, you need more patience
Patience why????
whom????
You wanted a dove, you received it for three.
Those who neglected Haifa for 15 years returned to do the same thing. More important are his trips abroad and the schedule, even during the war, is full of Israel and not Israel
Absolutely right
Be blessed!! Every word and letter is true and stable. 100 likes.
So give him a broom if he doesn't clean to fly on it …… hahahaha
Indeed the state of cleanliness in the whole city is disgraceful
"The Bat Galim neighborhood is cleaned regularly and every day." Crow flower!! The municipality replied at the time to "Hai Fe" that it cleans Nahal HaGivori road "once a week", but this is also a lie, and in any case, they do not touch the sidewalks, but only occasionally pass by the road.
Not just a dirty wave girl. Romema neighborhood is also filthy. Emptying trash cans every day does not make a neighborhood clean. Welcome to visit.
Filthy citizens. Not saying that the municipality should not invest, but in Hayat, stop dirtying so much
I miss Einat
