Given that the city's road infrastructure is one of the basic elements of communal infrastructure, taking into account the geographical location of Lutsk and its status as a regional center, the Civic Group "Lutsk European" announces an initiative for fundamental changes in approaches to the operation, maintenance, and reconstruction of the city's roads. \tWe propose: •\tTo carry out a full inventory (passportization) of city roads, determining their length, current technical condition, annual maintenance cost, specifics of traffic load, peculiarities of the location of sewerage and other networks, and the cost of capital and routine repairs; •\tTo create a temporary supervisory commission on road infrastructure issues under the city council, with the participation of council deputies, experts, representatives of local self-government executive bodies, and the public; •\tFor the commission to analyze, within a short timeframe, the effectiveness of the use of budget funds for the reconstruction and maintenance of roads, compliance with contractual obligations by contractors, particularly regarding quality and warranty periods of road operation; •\tTo initiate an audit of the effectiveness of the use of credit resources obtained by the enterprise "Lutsksavtodor" against the collateral of municipal communal property on the basis of Lutsk City Council Decision No. 8/1 of May 21, 2003; •\tBased on the results of audits and analysis, to prepare a corresponding report and proposals for a session of the Lutsk City Council; •\tTo make it impossible to order road maintenance and reconstruction works without conducting proper tender or competitive procedures; •\tFor the city council to initiate the creation of a municipal fund "Roads of Lutsk" with the definition of clear procedures for its funding and public control over the targeted use of funds; •\tTo develop a mechanism for attracting, on a contractual basis, funds from individuals and legal entities engaged in regular passenger or freight transportation along the city's roads, for the purpose of financing road surface maintenance and reconstruction works;
We appeal to the Government of Ukraine, the Volyn Regional Council, and the Volyn Regional State Administration with a request to participate in financing works for the construction of European-quality roads in the regional center of Volyn, as Lutsk is one of the most important cross-border centers of our state.
