In Kypseli, the work to remove loose materials and marbles from 14 apartment buildings, which have been damaged by the passage of the tunneling machine, is expected to begin next week, while one of them has been classified as "red" after the inspection of its structural adequacy. #Κυψέλη #Μετρό #ΣτατικήΕπάρκεια (translated)

Charis Doukas stated that the final assessment of the damages to the houses in Kypseli by engineers would begin the following day. He mentioned that he had also requested that the restoration study for each building proceed and that a precise timeline for implementation be determined, but there had not yet been any progress on these two issues. Doukas added that he was informed on the same day that a building remained classified as red following the structural safety inspection. He stated that he raised the issue with the ministry, along with the possibility of evacuating residents where necessary, and characterized safety as a non-negotiable priority. #ΚαθαρήΚυψέλη #Ασφάλεια #Αποκατάσταση (translated)

We addressed three key issues for us. In the agreement, the affected residences in Kypseli are to be opened immediately, starting tomorrow Saturday, so that the final assessment of the damages can begin by a team of three engineers, concluded the meeting at the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, as announced by the Mayor of Athens, Harris Doukas. #Μετρό #Κυψέλη #Ζημιές (translated)

The absence of a specific timeline for the restoration of the apartment buildings in Kypseli, which suffered significant damage during the excavation of the tunnel for the construction of Metro Line 4, as well as for the safe resumption of the works, is raised by the mayor of Athens, Harris Doukas, in a letter today (15/10) to the leadership of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport. #Κατοίκοι #Μετρό #Κυψέλη (translated)

Charis Doukas mentioned that Athens Move has entered a pilot phase, aiming to be operational by 2027. He said that the first pilot route with an electric bus was conducted at Serafeio. Doukas noted that the new network was designed neighborhood by neighborhood, based on the needs expressed by residents and the gaps in daily transportation, emphasizing densely populated areas such as Patissia and Kypseli. According to him, the plan included 4 new lines, 17 electric buses, approximately 40 kilometers of routes, and 185 stops. He stated that the goal was to reduce dependence on cars and make the city more human and environmentally friendly. #Αθήνα #ΔημοτικήΣυγκοινωνία #ΗλεκτρικάΛεωφορεία (translated)

Uncertainty remains regarding the restoration of the damage and the restart of the tunneler in Kypseli, as the responsible parties did not provide a specific timeline, while inspections and requirements for the continuation of the work are increasing. #Κυψέλη #Μετρό #Υποδομές (translated)

The restart of the metro in Kypseli will only take place when sufficient measures are ensured by the independent evaluation committee, as damages have occurred in 20 buildings due to subsidence, without considering that there is any liability from the Ministry of Infrastructure and AVAX. #Κυψέλη #Μετρό #Καθιζήσεις (translated)

The author characterized the Mitsotakis government's failure on basic infrastructure issues as unprecedented. He argued that line 4 of the Athens metro had destabilized part of Kypseli and was heading towards an expensive dead end. He also mentioned that the upgraded railway needed 2.5 hours for the Athens–Lianokladi route and six hours for another route. #Υποδομές #Αθήνα #Μετρό #GR (translated)

Intense political confrontation is unfolding in the Parliament between Tachiaos and Hliopoulos regarding the damage from the Metro works in Kipseli, with Tachiaos accusing Hliopoulos of politically exploiting the residents' concerns and Hliopoulos emphasizing the need for the restoration of the buildings before the resumption of the works. #Μετρό #Κυψέλη #Πολιτική (translated)

A court decision gives the residents of Kypseli access to the documents related to the construction of Metro Line 4, with implications for the subsidence caused by the project, prompting them to schedule a mobilization for immediate solutions. #Κυψέλη #Μετρό #ΔικαστικήΑπόφαση (translated)

The condition of the buildings in Kypseli is critical, as reports from the Technical Chamber of Greece indicate serious damages to both the walls and the load-bearing structure, with recommendations even for the temporary evacuation of tenants during the restoration works. #Κυψέλη #Μετρό #Πολυκατοικίες (translated)

Thanasis Kampagiannis wrote that, when the extent of the damage in Kypseli was revealed in mid-July and the TBM operations were suspended, government officials accused the residents of exaggerating and imagining the problems. He added that Tahiaos had claimed that the cracks had pre-existed, citing Google Earth. https://t.co/7thKNDUY0a #Κυψέλη #ζημιές #κατοίκοι (translated)

The author of the post noted that the serious damages in Kypseli did not allow for complacency or avoidance. He argued that affordable and safe housing, which he described as a fundamental right, was at risk in Athens and referred to a joint statement with the vice president and MEP of the LEFT, Kostas Arvanitis. #Κυψέλη #Στέγαση https://t.co/ZJW10LPpTA #Στέγαση #Αθήνα #Δικαιώματα #GR (translated)

With the safety of residents, with the safety of citizens, we cannot play around. Neither in Kypseli nor anywhere else. The logic of "let's go and see what happens" cannot be tolerated by anyone. Especially when safety and life are at stake. For the past seven months, there have been cracks and subsidence in 35 apartment buildings in the center of Athens, in Kypseli. The responsible minister himself has stated that he would not let his own families live here. There is inaction and there is no development that reassures these people. Therefore, what needs to be done immediately is: First, all technical data should be provided to the experts appointed by the residents. Second, there should be an immediate, certified evaluation process to determine whether the buildings are green, yellow, or red. For those that are yellow or red, residents must be given the opportunity to relocate to safe buildings immediately, at the state's expense. Restoration work must be carried out promptly. I repeat, we cannot play with issues of safety. I have seen houses with cracks and in load-bearing structures, that is, in columns and beams. I have seen doors that do not close. I have seen frames that have come loose. Those who are responsible for certifying and providing a valid opinion on whether the buildings are habitable are the qualified engineers of the Technical Chamber, who must respond urgently to the question of whether the buildings are green, yellow, or red - those that are green are fine, but for the yellow and red ones, we must ensure the safety of the residents immediately. #Ασφάλεια #Κυψέλη #Αθήνα (translated)
