Krasnoyarsk's Center Revamp Kicks Off Ahead of City's 400th Anniversary! 🎉
Construction of cross-streets commenced in Central Krasnoyarsk
Get ready, Krasnoyarsk! The revamp of 15 intersecting streets in our city center is underway, just in time for our grand 400th birthday celebration! Here's the lowdown on what you can expect:
On The Renovation Front 🏗️
- Current Site: As of now, renovation work has started on Ulitsa Karatanova. Crews are stripping the sidewalk of its existing coverings, removing barriers, and garage-style seats, with plans to save and reuse materials from the pavement and benches later for other projects [📝1][📝2].
- Up Next: The streets of Perenson and Dzerzhinsky are the next on the list, with the renovation process starting from Perenson Street's end by Ady Lebedeva Street. Due to their historical significance, archaeologists will be working ahead of the builders in these areas [📝1].
- Future Work: While we don't have specific details yet about which of the other 11 streets will be renovated, they'll all be getting a makeover that focuses on pedestrian comfort, safety, and accessibility, similar to Red Army Street's design [📝1][📝2].
A Piece of History 🗿
Given that these streets are located within the city's historical zone, archaeologists will soon begin work on Ulitsa 9 Janvaria, followed by Ulitsa Karatanova [📝1].
A Prettier Tomorrow 🌳
Here's what you can look forward to once the renovations are complete:
- Pedestrian Zones: The pedestrian walkways will be divided into various types of pavement for different zones – facade, transit, green space, and technical – ensuring a more organized and aesthetically pleasing streetscape [📝1].
- Smooth Transitions: All driveways leading to homes and courtyards will be designed with gentle slopes, just like the entrances to pedestrian crossings, to create a seamless flow between vehicle and foot traffic [📝1].
- Modern Improvements: Each street will boast cameras, drainage channels, standard outdoor furniture, and beautifully landscaped parks. And don't worry, all the construction details meet Krasnoyarsk's environmental standards to keep our city green and sustainable [📝1][📝2].
Project Cost 💰
While you admire the new-look streets, remember that this project has been no small feat, costing a total of 64 million rubles [📝1][📝2]! So sit back and enjoy the transformation as we gear up to celebrate Krasnoyarsk's glorious 400th year!
