Eye of Sauron in Gdansk? The president is so

- It started with my post on the board president Adamowicz. He suggested making the event on Facebook, well ... I did - says Lukasz Golovanov, one of the initiators of the action. - I invited some friends to rate whether this idea has legs and arms. Estimated that there, they began to invite her and everything went its own rhythm, as it usually is on FB - he added.

Pawel Adamowicz, the action comes with sympathy, but does not hide that they do not want anyone to dictate the name. This president has created a poll on Facebook, asking how we evaluate the proposal.

- I do not like to impose their preferences in the naming of squares, streets, squares off the names of not waking any doubts. Usually this results in discussions that are more ideological than it was just the material form of our memories - writes mayor of Gdansk.

Councillors expressed their support of Gdansk

The name of the viaduct is the responsibility of the Committee on Culture and Promotion of the Council of the City of Gdansk. Organizers, who have already contacted the counselors in this case (two of them signed up for an event - Peter Borawski and Adam Nieroda).

- Almost all councilors with whom he contacted, expressed their interest and support, more or less enthusiastic, but they support. So I hope that if there is no formal obstacles, manage to bring this project to a happy finale - says Lukasz Golovanov.

The only question is whether the company Gdansk Municipal Investments, which oversees the construction project continues Karczemki Node, which is the work of Tadeusz Stefanowskiego Transprojekt Gdansk office.

- Viaduct certainly will have a shape like the project because it is already built. As it will be called? I do not know, but we tentatively call it Amber Gate. And is it worth it to call them. Tolkien? It is up to residents and councilors - says Magdalena Skorupka-Kaczmarek, a spokeswoman for GIK.
