Allocates land for the construction of a viewing tower and a walking trail in Mežapark.

On September 16, at the meeting of the Property Committee of the Riga City Council, the deputies approved the draft decision on the granting of building rights to SIA “Rīgas meži” SIA “Rīgas meži” without compensation for the plot of land owned by the municipality at 11 Ostas prospect. The draft decision envisages that SIA Rīgas meži is granted the right to build and use a recreational and tourist facility here – an observation tower and a walking path above the treetops, and non-residential buildings related to their operation, as well as to improve the area during the entire period of validity of the granted building right. In the Mežaparks cultural and leisure park of Riga, it is planned to create an observation tower in combination with a kilometer-long walking path in the trees during the next year. The planned path through the treetops in Mežapark will give you the opportunity to observe both the Great Stage and Lake Ķīšezer. On the other hand, the entire city can be seen from the observation tower. It is planned to select an operator for the management of the trail by tender, who will have to carry out all the maintenance work. Currently, it is planned that the maximum cost of the project could be around 5.5 million euros.
