Finally, in the passage of Konak tram to Çankaya, the Izmir Metropolitan Municipality, which has shifted the line to the green area in the middle lane of Gazi Boulevard, has left the century-old plane trees at risk Karşıyaka It turned out that the tram was going to change quietly.

ONE LINE TO YALI STREET

From the last change Karşıyaka The green texture on the coast will also have its share. Since the palm cannot be touched because it is registered and protected, many trees will be rooted. This is Karşıyaka It will destroy the green texture of the beach to a great extent.
