It Was Nearly a Tragedy at Dino. A Resident Had Warned Them Earlier, but There Was No Response

After we described the matter of the chaos at Dino and the clinic on Starzyńskiego Street (as well as the fact that a woman narrowly escaped being hit by a car), another Reader contacted us:

I read (...) the article (...) about what happened today outside the Dino store on Starzyńskiego Street.

And he sent us his correspondence with Dino’s Customer Service Department from… February this year. He commented on the response as follows:

They know very well what the situation is and that it is dangerous for pedestrians who shop at Dino.

According to the material sent by the Reader, a Dino employee replied that the chain was very sorry for the situation and that the report was to be forwarded to the appropriate department. What was done with that report is unknown.

Moreover, on the day we published the material about the chaos at the store in question, we officially asked both the Dino chain and the road authority about the matter. Two and a half weeks have passed and—despite reminders—we unfortunately have not received a response from either entity.

Let us remind you. At the end of March, we reported that we had received the following message from a Reader:

Could your editorial team address a very pressing problem that arose when a healthcare clinic opened next to Dino on Starzyńskiego Street? The matter is particularly important today because dangerous situations are occurring increasingly often on the access road to the Dino car park. I myself witnessed one woman avoid being hit by a car only thanks to her reflexes (this was not an isolated incident). Frightened, she jumped onto the barriers and thereby avoided an accident.

And he added: — Patients from all over Lower Silesia come to the clinic via the car park mentioned above. There is rather no space left for Dino customers.

He also added:

Cars also park on the access road, making passage very difficult, and I will not even mention the customers moving around there.

He also stressed: “The danger is growing and nobody is doing anything about it. We are already so close to a tragedy. Who will then bear the consequences of this negligence? Because that is what these situations should be called. Who allowed this situation to arise?”

But he immediately emphasized: “It is very good that a clinic was opened in this location; however, before proceeding with this idea, the infrastructure should have been addressed first—something that would immediately improve the situation for pedestrians.”
