The number of vehicles in the public transport system of the municipality of Chisinau will be substantially increased by the end of this year, stated mayor general Ion Ceban. According to him, the Chisinau City Hall will bank on its own forces and will assemble trolleybuses and will buy more trolleybuses and buses, but will also accept assistance from foreign partners, IPN reports.

In the talk show “Direct Access” on NTV Moldova channel, Ion Ceban said the strategy for building parking lots in Chisinau should be finalized. Also, there was launched an online platform of interaction with citizens, which focuses on two areas for now – waste and street lighting. The other modules are being deigned.

The mayor also said that digitization in the building sector is another goal. “The first module we want to develop in order to remove the human factor from the decision-making process will focus on permissive documents for the building sector. We have over 2,000 suspect buildings in Chisinau. We presume that the required documents were issued illegally or the works were executed illegally. What we want to do is to set up this common office for the entry/exist of documents in a month so that the people do not have to visit many functionaries and a one-step shop with all the processes automated, free from the human factor, in at most half a year. The relevant device will decide if the rules are met or not and will issue the construction authorization or the urbanism certificate when it is the case,” said Ion Ceban.

He also said that he has a message for the judges, concerning the cases when business entities go to court to obtain building authorizations. “Please, do not intervene in the green areas. We will not allow something like this. Our call is to avoid taking such decisions in courts of law,” noted the mayor.

In this connection, he informed that consultations are now held for later working out the general urban development plan. A consortium of architects and experts in the field could be created to think up the document and to present it in a year and a half or in two years.
