Zagreb Mayor Milan Bandić emphasized late Tuesday evening at the meeting of the Winter Service Headquarters in Lipnica that he goes to sleep peacefully because public transport and all other vital functions of the city are operational, schools, kindergartens, hospitals, health centers, emergency services, and all institutions are accessible.
– We have cleared the first and second levels of Zagreb’s roads, and on Wednesday we will clear the third level and the remaining sidewalks, parking lots, and all those neuralgic points in the city that need to be cleaned – he stated. He conveyed that their task is to clear the remaining priorities and wait for Thursday afternoon ready for new snow. He assessed that they have done everything with a two plus, but emphasized that they can do much better. He pointed out that today they must address the priorities, engage 1000 students who will clear snow from sidewalks and parking lots, as well as hospitals and other institutions that have not yet been cleared. He said that this must be cleaned on Wednesday because it can no longer happen that elderly people cannot reach six or seven health centers.
He stated that there is enough salt for snow clearing, and they will procure more to have it in reserve. – We have people, we have the technique, we will mobilize everything, this city knows that, the people who lead this city are responsible, there is no panic, no chaos, no natural disaster, and we will do our job – Mayor Bandić stated. Today around noon, he announced a meeting with the directors of 10 to 15 largest construction companies to ensure that by Thursday evening, 200 trucks and 50 loaders will be available for the new snow that is expected.
– I will leave nothing to chance, so the city does not get buried. A small municipal service, regardless of how organized, cannot meet the task without additional forces if it snows again within two days – he emphasized.
