A citizen-led petition is gaining momentum in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, aiming to stop the municipal council's plan to build a cable car on Bunkerdzhik Hill. The initiative has garnered significant support, with over 1,400 signatures collected so far, as reported by organizer Lyubomir Chakarov to Radio Plovdiv.

The petition calls for the immediate cessation of the cable car project, citing concerns from residents and environmental advocates. The organizers argue that the development would negatively impact the natural landscape and historical significance of the hill, a prominent landmark in the city.

Supporters of the petition are urging the Plovdiv municipality to reconsider its decision and explore alternative solutions for enhancing the accessibility and appeal of Bunkerdzhik Hill without compromising its ecological and cultural value.
