IMM President Ekrem İmamoğlumade investigations in the area that will eliminate the floods on the Anatolian side of the city and will turn into a life valley along the 14-kilometer Kurbağalıdere line. Commenting on the journalists here, İmamoğlu said, “We watched the flood here together, unfortunately, the images that do not suit Istanbul. These are the images we saw in 2019, before we took office, or what we saw 2017, 2015, 2014, 4 years ago in 5 or 6 or 7. We touched every flooding spot in Istanbul that we detected. This place was one of them. As soon as he took office, we instructed him to enter here quickly," he said.
Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (IMM) President Ekrem İmamoğlumade investigations in the area that will eliminate the floods on the Anatolian side of the city and will turn into a life valley along the 14-kilometer Kurbağalıdere line. To İmamoğlu, who started the works within the scope of "Ataşehir Kurbağalıdere Göztepe Junction E5 Crossing Project" with a radio announcement, Kadıköy Mayor Şerdil Dara Odabaşı and İSKİ General Manager Raif Mermutlu accompanied him.
İmamoğlu, who received information about the projects and works from İSKİ Waste Water Construction Department Head Mahmut Kahraman and İBB Park Garden and Green Area Department Head Yasin Çağatay Seçkin, made a brief assessment to the journalists.
“WE HAVE TOUCHED EVERY POINT OF ISTANBUL WHICH HAS EXPERIENCED FLOOD”
The project; Emphasizing that he will end the past floods and floods in the region along the D5 highway, known as the E-100, and along the Kurbağalıdere bed, İmamoğlu said:
“We watched the floods, the floods and the images they created, which unfortunately do not suit Istanbul, together. These images are not images from 30-40 years ago. In other words, the images right before we took office in 2019, or the images we saw 2017, 2015, 2014, 4 years ago in 5 or 6 or 7. First of all, let's state this: We touched every flood spot in Istanbul that we detected. We are talking about maybe 50 very important points in Istanbul. I'm not listing the minor parts here. This place was one of them. As soon as he took office, we instructed him to enter here quickly. They really succeeded in this operation on Kurbağalıdere in a very healthy way, by designing the transportation principles well, making the displacements on time, so to speak, by making a day commitment to me and finishing the work that day, in a very planned, orderly, orderly manner and without creating any jams.”
“A DIFFERENT VIEW CREATED IN KURBAĞALIDERE”
“We have always known the Kurbağalıdere issue with its part flowing into the Marmara Sea. Kadıköy Imamoğlu said, “And we share it with the images there. The work we do there is also very valuable. With the joint efforts of both Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality teams and İSKİ's teams, we completed that part in our period, and we put it together. With the recovery of the green area extending to Ki Yoğurtçu Park and then Moda, a completely different image was formed there. Because, of course, we are creating a life valley within the 14-kilometer length of Kurbağalıdere, which extends from there to here and continues to Ataşehir from there. In fact, we are walking towards this goal by completing the sections section by section, just like the pieces of the 'puzzle'. Both Ataşehir and Kadıköy Waste water and rain water separation works in the region and affecting Kurbağalıdere are also a capillary study of this work. Let's say that this holistic journey is very important. In order for our citizens to understand the 350-400 million investment of that period with today's values, you need to multiply it almost 2,5 times, so that we can better understand the value of this investment.
“WE CARE ABOUT EVERY POINT OF ISTANBUL”
Emphasizing that they care about every point of Istanbul, İmamoğlu said, “We continue to solve every neglected problem with all our institutions and organizations. Let us state that our solidarity with the district municipalities is also important here. We provide a harmonious, coordinated, very healthy service with every municipality, every district municipality, that worries about Istanbul, finds a solution at the table, and solves the problems on the table, both administratively, technically and on the basis of protocol, which have been neglected from past to present, but also solves the problems in the field. We continue the process. We are in the field and will continue to resolve any issues we identify. I hope Kurbağalıdere, with such an unfortunate sight of Istanbulites, with its very sorry smell, unfortunately not with floods, where one can ride a bicycle, where a person from Ataşehir can reach the metro station here by walking or run to the Marmara Sea coast, to the Moda coast. We will conclude these works in the form of valleys connecting Istanbul. Our work on life valleys in this sense continues not only in Kurbağalıdere but also in 15 points of Istanbul. We will continue to stand by the people of Istanbul and provide solutions for them with our projects that are humane, that make the society happy, that enable them to live in a pleasant city with their children, youth and women, that are not crazy but rational, logical, and that meet the needs of the day and this age.”
