A man who introduced himself as an environmentalist called us. The caller pointed out that the gravel road between Kraśnik and Kruszyn, where historic oak trees grow, should be accessible exclusively to pedestrians and cyclists.
Meanwhile, the surface is regularly driven over and damaged by cars, which the Reader considers pointless, especially since there are paved roads 500 metres away.
According to the man, the Municipality should install barriers at the entrance and exit of the road to restrict car traffic, along with signs indicating that it is a cycle path.
Romuald Ochyra, head of the Investment and Infrastructure Department at the Bolesławiec Municipality Office:
With regard to the submitted comment concerning the road between Kruszyn and Kraśnik, suggesting that part of it be closed to motor vehicle traffic, I inform you that the proposed solution cannot be implemented. The section in question forms part of a public road within the meaning of the Public Roads Act. This road, numbered 103974D, has been classified as a municipal road and connects national road No. 94 in Kruszyn with the county road in Kraśnik Dolny. It should be clearly noted that this is not a section of an internal road, where traffic rules and accessibility can be defined more liberally (at one’s discretion).
He adds:
Public roads generally cannot be closed to vehicular traffic—at most, pedestrian and cyclist traffic may potentially be restricted in justified cases. Of course, the Municipality will not introduce such restrictions; this applies both to vehicle traffic and pedestrian traffic.
