The pedestrian street of Panfilov began to play with new colors. In September of this year, work began on its repair in the area between Kabanbai Batyr and Zhibek Zholy streets. This was due to the fact that the paving slabs cracked in places, benches, irrigation system and other elements of landscaping became unusable.
As Mayor of the megalopolis Yerbolat Dosayev noted during a working detour of the Almaly district, this street is a favorite place of citizens and guests of Almaty, therefore, attention was paid to every detail in terms of aesthetics and practicality during the repair.
Today, the district akimat has replaced two thousand square meters of paving stones, installed 130 benches, 2 playgrounds, replaced 2.6 km of lighting cables and repaired 2 dry fountains. Special attention was paid to landscaping and the creation of living areas. Thus, the green zone has been expanded by 20%.
"In general, this territory will be decorated with more than 13 thousand shrubs and perennials, such as Japanese spirea, hydrangea and many other plants. We have already planted 39 new trees: small-leaved linden, ornamental apple and pear trees. To protect the sown lawn from the cold and birds, we covered it with cocoa bean husks. They act as fertilizer and give a pleasant smell," said Margarita Balakireva, a representative of the contractor.
After the renovation, the space sparkled with new colors, causing positive emotions among the citizens.
"I can say that the difference is immediately noticeable, it has become more comfortable to move on smooth paving stones, the street has become more cozy. Experts have tried to make the pedestrian zone look beautiful at any time of the day, regardless of the time of the year," one of the residents of the city shared.
Alina Kuznetsova, a resident of the district, stressed that she was especially pleased with the new installations and children's areas. "We walk here almost every day, it's great that our favorite fountains have been repaired. In general, everything is done perfectly, the street has become even more beautiful," she added.
Another object visited by Yerbolat Dosayev during the detour is a new square at the intersection of Rozybakiev and Duissenov streets, built within the framework of the Budget of People's Participation program.
Earlier, the land plot of 0.49 hectares, on which the square is located, was transferred to the entrepreneur for temporary lease. However, the land was not used for its intended purpose, and over time a spontaneous market was formed there, which caused inconvenience to residents of nearby houses.
Now paths have been arranged on this site, benches, urns, playgrounds for kids and teenagers with rubber coating have been installed, lighting has been carried out. There is also an automatic irrigation system, a green area in the form of a lawn and 3,585 perennial shrubs.
"Before that, screams and noise from parking trucks started under the windows in the early morning, and in summer it was impossible to open the window because of various smells. We are glad that the akimat has not only solved the problem of spontaneous trade, but also improved the site. This project has become a kind of decoration of our neighborhood, turning a noisy area into a green square. Now residents and especially children constantly gather here and spend their leisure time," one of the residents of the district shared her opinion.
During the meeting with the citizens, Yerbolat Dosayev stressed that work will continue in the metropolis to create safe and green public spaces for recreation and sports.
It should be noted that 18.8 billion tenge has been allocated for the program "Budget of People's Participation" this year in the city, which is 5.8 billion tenge more than last year. Almaty residents had the opportunity to propose and implement 364 projects for the improvement of courtyards, public spaces, the creation of sports and playgrounds.
