In total, more than 941 million rubles have been allocated for the improvement of public spaces this year, including 405.4 million rubles from the federal budget, 535.7 million rubles from the republican budget. Deputy Head of the Executive Committee Igor Kulyazhev announced this today at the Business Monday meeting. </p> <p> “Almost all sites that we will improve this year are away from the city center. This shows that all central parks and squares have been already improved in Kazan. We discuss all social projects with residents to get their feedback. We appreciate their proactive position,”- said Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of the city. </p> <p> This year, one of the key improvement projects is the construction of the first park in the Salavat Kupere district. Work began last year. Lighting elements and a video surveillance system were installed, paving stone was emplaced, and workers carried out a comprehensive landscaping of the territory. </p> <p> This year, children's and sports equipment, small architectural forms and a pump track will be installed in the park. In addition, the territory of the lake will be landscaped, a fountain will be installed, a dog walking area and a public garden will be equipped, I.Kulyazhev noted. </p> <p> The improvement of the park “Maloe Chaikovoye Lake”, which is located near the City Clinical Hospital -7 in the Novo-Savinovsky district, will be completed this year. Last year, the lake was cleaned and the surrounding area has been landscaped. This year, the park will be equipped with small architectural forms and way finding elements, additional landscaping will be carried out and an automatic irrigation system will be installed. </p> <p> It is planned to start landscaping the territory of the Big Blue Lake, the work will be carried out under the project of creation of the Mirrors of Tatarstan ecological zone. In particular, work is planned to strengthen the shore of the waterfall on the Big Blue Lake. The wooden bridge, which is in a poor condition, will be replaced. </p> <p> This year, work will begin on the reconstruction of one of the oldest parks in Kazan – the Fisherman's Garden. At the first stage, the vertical layout of the territory will be changed without harming the existing landscaping in order to avoid flooding of sidewalks and playgrounds during spring snowmelt, summer and autumn heavy rains. In addition, new cast-iron lanterns will be installed in the park and decorative illumination of trees will be provided. </p> <p> Also this year, it is planned to renovate the park of the 100th anniversary of the formation of the construction industry of the republic, which is located on Karbysheva Street. “The works include the repair of the fountain and landscaping of the adjacent territory, - I.Kulyazhev said. – A modern multi-jet fountain will be placed on the water surface of the bowl. In winter, the fountain will transform into an ice rink, on which it is planned to install a New Year’s tree”. </p> <p> The construction of another large park area will begin along the Noksa River. The construction will be carried out in several stages. This year, work will begin on the territory from the Leto residential complex to school No.184. “In the future, the park will be combined with other park territories along the Noksa River – from the existing park at the Vesna residential complex to the park at the Green residential complex”, - I.Kulyazhev reported. </p> <p> In the historical part of the city, the reconstruction of Yunusovskaya Square is planned, which has become a special place of recreation for citizens in the Old Tatar settlement. “The basis of the landscaping concept will be the creation of a blooming garden for quiet relaxation, in which small architectural forms will be installed”, - I.Kulyazhev noted. </p> <p> In addition, it is planned to replace the equipment on sports grounds and the covering of pedestrian paths in two squares – on the Alley of Veterans of the Great Patriotic War in the Azino-1 district and in the square on Akademika Parina Street, landscaped in 2015-2016. </p>
