(haipo) - Louie Promenade is one of the most beautiful and most visited Hamad corners in Haifa, but time after time its visitors receive a particularly depressing reception that includes mountains of dirt and garbage, which cloud the stay in the place and obscure its beauty. Cups, cartons, cigarette butts and bags "decorate" the promenade paths along their entire length.
The beautiful promenade stretches along Yaffe Nof Street and overlooks Haifa Port, Haifa Bay, and sometimes you can even see Mount Hermon from it, on days when visibility is good. Beneath the boardwalk are the magnificent Bahai gardens, which complete the breathtaking sight of the place.
Louie Promenade was inaugurated in 1992 with funds donated by the Goldschmidt family, in memory of their son who was killed in a car accident, and since then it has been used by the residents of Haifa for a variety of activities: morning and evening walks, trips with the children and grandchildren or sitting calmly with a book or a cup of coffee in front of the amazing view. But this beauty, as mentioned, is dimmed by the abundant dirt scattered almost along its entire length.
What's so hard to throw away?
"I don't understand why people don't throw their waste in the trash," says the resident of the city, who also often comes to the promenade. "All along the boardwalk there are trash cans. What is so difficult to take the cup or the bag and throw it in the trash? Cigarette butts scattered on the floor is simply not appropriate for the end of 2024. The fact that people don't protect the public space, in my opinion, is a testament to us as a society."
Increasing the frequency of cleaning and a clear message
From conversations with other residents, the expectation repeatedly arises that the municipality will increase the frequency of cleaning the boardwalk, along with the demand to convey a clear educational message to the public: maintaining cleanliness is not just an aesthetic matter, but a shared value that respects the public space and the city's residents. The Lui Promenade, with its spectacular views and its function as a meeting point and connection for the residents, should be a symbol of beauty and nurturing and not of neglect and lack of care as things seem today. It is the responsibility of all of us - the municipality, residents and visitors - to maintain this place as it deserves, so that it can fulfill its purpose as a magical natural gem in the heart of the city.
Haifa Municipality has not yet given a response.
Because the mayor is still sleeping and snoring loudly. He did not give an order to fix the cursed image of the municipality and its employees.
What goes on in the Lui Promenade in the evenings is lawlessness, criminals arrive with improved motorcycles in groups that fly around the Carmel at high speed and make explosions from the exhausts, then gather on the Lui Promenade and commit vandalism there. Enhanced vehicles drive with crazy loud music and drive at crazy speeds, there is no enforcement at all on the subject. A known problem for a long time. Unbelievable.
There is one reason for dirt on the boardwalk. Most of the travelers are guys from the sector for whom cleanliness is not at the top of their minds. Say I'm racist? So tell me. This is the truth. Drive around the Galilee and enter the Arab settlements. See what the entrance to the settlements looks like and you will understand
It's all education, it won't help to have more cleaning workers, people in Israel are beasts, all of them, Muslim Jews, animals.
Both in the Klish and Yahav periods there is a lot of room for improvement. A former Haifaite and Kiryatite today
Beasts, dirty, wretched, uncivilized people..may the hands that threw them away, and the legs that brought them to the boardwalk be broken..!
The rear is cleaned but it is a bad habit for some of the people who visit there, what's the problem there are trash cans in every corner and a lot of them, in my opinion there should be an undercover inspector who will give income so people learn. Even in the center of Carmel there is filth, people throw everything and it's as if the road is a garbage can.
Most of Haifa is dirty. The focus on the filth on the Lui Promenade as if it were something unusual is the most ridiculous thing in this article... Kiryat Haim in general - insanely dirty streets... also the lower city, Hadar, Neve Sha'anan. A municipality that only takes care of a few neighborhoods of millionaires and that's it.
Just like that. I was on Golda Meir Street and I was really jealous of the cleanliness and pruning of the trees and vegetation.
Full of dogs
All the shitty dog owners who don't pick up their shitty dog's shit.
tired of you
In the past, a cleaning worker was employed on behalf of a contractor, but for some reason he was fired and since then cleaning operations are only carried out in the summer.
Unfortunately there are very hostile Arab populations in and around Haifa. The lack of services and spaces in their villages causes them to migrate to Haifa and release their burden and rage there. Likewise Cairo, Damascus, and many cities in the region that were destroyed by migrations of rural people.
These are Arabs who invade the promenade on the weekends, pollute everywhere and riot with their illegal cars.
Why is there no supervision? where are the police
Dozens of times I see them throwing cans and food scraps just on the sidewalk or on the road.
There is also a phenomenon of organized trips by Arabs who come in the middle of the week in buses to eat on the boardwalk, they carry pots of food with them, of course after they leave the place looks like an urban dump
Thank your cousins for years that it's not a boardwalk, it's Kfar Lui
These people have a magic touch, they know how to turn everything into a dump
Why is Haifa so dirty?
Maybe the city managers will be honored to activate the "municipal enforcement" units to deal with these things and also all the beasts that fly around the city like crazy instead of breaking us apart with reports in neighborhoods where there is no parking.
Well done my friend Samar for the article. Good night and blessings to you.
The Arabs who come from villages are the reason. No education, no culture, no cleanliness
It's an ecological attack directed at the fruit of a Mediterranean mentality.
Haifa has become extremely dirty.
Ramot Sapir, where I live, is dirty all the time: both the sidewalks and the public landscaping. The bushes are full of trash. Who should clean the gardening areas? Garden department or cleaning department? Until they decide who is responsible - the dirt is waiting in the bushes.
HaGil Street - I haven't seen it clean in a long time.
Moriah Blvd. - also dirty.
And there is an interesting and special phenomenon: who is supposed to clean the Shufersal area in Ramot Sapir? Only the minimal parking and landscaping around the supermarket.
The manager of Shufersal told me a long time ago that "it is the municipality's responsibility". The municipality probably didn't hear about it. Customers leave thousands of shekels in this supermarket, and its surroundings are as filthy as a dump.
Enough time has passed since the elections, and apparently nobody cares about the cleanliness. T in the municipality 😥😥😥
The whole city is filthy, I'm sorry to use that word, I do a lot of walking in the Neve, Shanan and all the streets are shamefully dirty.
Other neighborhoods like Dania, Verdia and Ramat Almogi are clean...I wonder why.
I wonder why you let me see, because you elected this mayor again, you didn't learn anything even in his previous term, it was like that in Neve Shanan, you couldn't walk on the sidewalks, then the strikes of the Taborua department started, and after that the buses also had problems because there was no road, so understand, Yael, this was the choice Yours that he was chosen, I said the idiots are idiots and I was right
Definitely agree, our city is dirty! I walk a lot with our dog, every day I see the sidewalk cleaners who spend most of the time sitting in hidden corners, talking or using the phone, eating and resting for hours!
They are not supervised or supervised and they simply do not do their job. When there is dirt near the sidewalk, they don't even bother to pick it up, because it's not on the sidewalk...
It has nothing to do with one mayor or another, it has to do with the supervision of the people who get paid for the cleaning work.
Straight and smooth - Arabs put a dick on cleanliness. There is no such thing in their lexicon as "trash to the bin". For them, the garbage can is the pavement under their feet and the whole world will burn.
Have inspectors given a report on littering.
Not only the dirt is grating in the center of Carmel, but also the facades of 80% of all the houses in the business that look like slums. See the bookstore on the corner of Hanasi and Elhanan St. There is a patchwork on the sidewalk made up of pieces of planks and wood. The vacant space at the corner of Hanasi St. Mahaniim. with fences reminiscent of a concentration camp.
Really miserable
The time has come for a massive investment in renovating the entire neglected center
Also on Geula Street. Property tax is murderous and service is non-existent and gone.
A neglected city, a corrupt municipality
The most corrupt municipality. True.
What is unclear here?
Most of the dirt there is from those who come from outside the city
Bullshit. We all know who you mean which makes you not only a bullshitter but also a small breed
Shady and Paddy in the big city.
When the city inspectors prefer to register parking tickets for disabled people and do injustice to drivers, rather than deal with street brats, this is what it looks like.
Unfortunately, the boardwalk is more or less clean all week, on Friday evening in the cousins of all the villages in the area, and this trash is just standing there, everything is thrown on the boardwalk, it wouldn't hurt if there was an inspector there and he would hand out reports on cleanliness. You will check me, except that the whole of Haifa is very dirty. Haifa
The promenade was occupied by the Arab youth. It's scary as a Jew to walk around there at night and no wonder it looks like that
Immediately install security cameras in the area and fine the Beit HaKema that the municipality established, do not bring food and drink into the Lui Promenade at all, including increased supervision and the police who will file heavy reports for those who do not throw trash in the trash when they see it
Close and consistent supervision is needed in the evening and at night, with the presence of the supervision for a long period until people learn to throw away the used packaging and, no less important, education, education and education.
Of course, a personal example and education of the parents is necessary!
For years the anger over the aforementioned dirt brought out complaints from me to the municipality. Time passed and they would send cleaners and the place remained clean for a few days until the dirty guests arrived there with cans and drinking bottles and all the waste that before it was waste, filled their stomachs.
The cafe only added to the accumulated dirt. Shoppers, sit on a balcony with a view, eat, drink, smoke and leave
For others to clean up all the dirt.
There was an elderly cleaner named Mordechai who cleaned with dedication, dozens of times a day, and after I praised him in the cleaning department for his dedication, they took him off the boardwalk and everyone who followed him "cleaned" without any real care and this is how it looks even today.
The one who loves the land is the one who keeps it clean.
Please let's set a good example for each other. And every Jew can be the first to protect this precious country. 🤩❤️❣️
enforcement!!!.
Cameras, inspectors, and a NIS 1000 fine for anyone found throwing trash on the floor.
Added 3 trash cans.
Increasing the frequency of bin cleaning.
This is not new. The municipality has stopped cleaning Yaffe Nof Street from the boardwalk to the corner to Ha-Korsha Street and the director of the traffic department refuses to put up Yaffe Nof Street signage as above on Ha-Korsha Street
A city that is beautiful from the outside but stuck inside.
As a girl growing up in the Haifa of the late Abba Khushi, I remember that we were brought up with the slogan "Haifa is clean". We didn't even throw a bus ticket on the floor. We kept it in our hand until the nearest (or far) garbage can. It's all a question of education. And the city was really well known In its cleanliness, even in the alleys of Wadi Salib and the surrounding area, everything is a question of education.
True. A lot has changed since then. But there are only a few left who remember it. Including the mayor who always wanted to be Khushi II's father.
If there are trash cans in the boardwalk complex, the trash will not be thrown on the street
Dear Liora, there are trash cans that are simply thrown outside and Friday is the worst that the friends from all the surrounding villages come in contact with. This trash can is just standing there too bad
Bullshit. A thousand bins won't help, it's intentional.
cameras. And every time the camera detects someone throwing - a loudspeaker will sound: "Please throw in the trash."
in Hebrew and Arabic.
Need more bins in my opinion.
There are no bins at all along the path down from the terrace towards the Bahá'í Gate, and by the horseshoe fence.
The fact that a person has to walk 20-50-100 meters to throw something away does not encourage him to keep clean.
On the weekend, the existing bins are completely filled.
You can also put a recycling bin so that people don't put cans on top of the bin that then fly away in the wind.
The fact that people do not keep it clean does not absolve the municipality from basic maintenance.
If the most visited place looks like this...
There is one trash can in Hasan Shukri
Haifa is amazing in its beauty, the problem is the residents who litter, complain about everything and are resentful.
The culprit is not only the polluters, although without them there would be no problem at all. Also in the municipality - which does not allocate manpower as before for manual or motorized cleaning of sidewalks.
