An analysis conducted by the Ministry of Communications concerning tenders for pedestrian infrastructure has revealed significant deficiencies in the provision of low-level communication means. The review indicates that a substantial portion of this necessary infrastructure has not been adequately provided over the last three years. Furthermore, the Ministry found that in numerous instances, established criteria governing the quality and long-term durability of the work executed with pedestrian involvement are not clearly defined.
These systemic gaps have direct implications for public resources and safety standards. The lack of standardized guidelines contributes to the inefficient expenditure of public funds allocated for street maintenance and cleaning. Consequently, the resulting improvements are not always visible, and pedestrian safety remains a concern.
The documentation analysis highlighted that the current tendering process fails to ensure consistent quality control. When the criteria are absent, the outcomes of public works become unpredictable, and the effectiveness of the spending is questionable. Stakeholders are advised that without stringent oversight, the integrity of pedestrian pathways and associated communication aids risks declining, potentially leading to greater safety hazards for commuters.
The Ministry’s findings underscore the urgent need for establishing mandatory, measurable standards for all future infrastructure tenders to ensure public funds are utilized effectively and safely.
