According to the mayor, watercraft make life miserable for residents.
- We will put order on the banks of the Danube, we will banish the boats that make life miserable for the residents and disfigure the panorama from the city center, we will create the possibility that the banks of the Danube can serve the people of Budapest much better than at present - announced Gergely Karácsony, who predicted that would ban boats from downtown.
The mayor announced on his social media page that the Metropolitan Municipality has reviewed and is amending the Danube Bank Building Regulations.
As he wrote, a complicated planning and opinion process that required a lot of consultation ended with the revision of the Construction Regulations on the Danube, which will be amended.
According to the mayor, the opinions received from state, professional and civil organizations amount to dozens of pages, and they consulted with several of their partners until the last moment.
According to Karácsony, the goal is to keep the load caused by the harbor ships as small as possible and to create a healthy balance as possible while using the river for different purposes.
