The area in question is the junction in front of the Regional Directorate and the road in front of the Historic Gas Factory and the road in front of the church is currently under the property of DDY. In accordance with the agreement made with Büyükşeir Municipality in the 1990s, an open space lease agreement has been signed for an area of ​​9 thousand square meters between the intersection and the gas factory. As of the end of 2015, the Metropolitan Municipality expropriated the 1.5-2 meter road between the area in front of the church and our nursery area against the DDY within the scope of both the tram line project and the road expansion work, and requested to expand the road. By adding both the tram area and the existing road into the contract, we made a request to make a protocol, including the expansion of the 9 square meter area to 500 square meters. In this context, since it is a registered parcel, approvals and permissions were obtained from the Regional Directorate of Culture and Nature Conservation, and it was sent to our General Directorate on March 18, 500 by taking the decision of the tender commission. After being approved by our General Directorate, we will make a contract with the municipality and rent the area in question to the municipality, within this scope, the municipality will draw the 24 meter wall in front of our kindergarten and expand the road.
