Only 2-storey houses in the new neighbourhoods

Local Bulgarian newspaper “Tema”, 13th June 2007

To the south and north of Varna, only houses up to 2-storeys will be allowed to be built. This is proposed for the new town-plan of Varna. The plans cover the areas of Saint Nikola, Zelenika, Rakitnika, the areas surrounding Konstantinovo and Zvezditsa, and other surrounding areas.

The question of low buildings in these areas and high protection of the green areas, was raised in May this year, at a meeting with the Chairman of the Municipal Council, Borislav Gutsanov, and the Team Leader of the town-planning group, Prof. Nikiforov. Due to the threat of over-construction work, the proposal made in February by the local Parliament’s chief, the Municipal Council decided to stop anyone from building in these areas, until the new town-plan has been completed and approved. The final version of the project will be discussed at a session of the Municipal Council in July.

2nd Bridge in Varna

Local Bulgarian newspaper “Narodno Delo”, 13th June 2007

The second bridge over the Varna lake is planned to be built next to the village of Kazashko. This was the decision taken by the Chairman of the Municipal Council, Borislav Gutsanov and the town-planning group, which is preparing the preliminary version of the new town plan of Varna. The bridge will allow a direct connection from the Cherno More highway to the airport, leading to the holiday resorts and the Romanian border at Durankulak. Thus the traffic passing through the heart of the city will be diverted to a by-pass.

The preliminary version of the town plan includes the construction of a third bridge, which will be parallel to the existing Asparuhov Bridge. Fortunately, the bridge will neither impede with the new port terminals, nor with the attractive part of the city and the future yacht harbour, which will appear at the freed Varna-East coast.
