This is neither a beautiful place, nor the best I could see last week in Poland, nor aesthetic photos. However, these photos show one important thing—that despite the bureaucratic entanglements, which are even more abundant in our neighboring countries than in Lithuania, the same thing can serve more than one function.
After all, it was precisely because of this lack of understanding in infrastructure companies that the Teltonika case happened in Lithuania, when a €2 billion investment was suspended because the road authorities did not give permission to the energy companies to build an electric cable on the edge of the road plot and sent everyone to negotiate with hundreds of neighboring plot owners.
In the photos, we can see how a blasphemous thing was done in Katowice—under the high-voltage poles, not just greenery was introduced, but a park with lighting, large trees, and commemorative busts. Our energy bureaucrats, with all the mentality of protective zones, would likely find this unacceptable.
I didn’t take photos of cool sound protection walls on Polish highways, which are also a support for climbing plants—in Poland, it has become almost a standard and improves the view even in winter.
Make bureaucracy lean again!
