On September 7, 2025 , 124 modern light poles were installed on the bicycle lane on Baidibek Bi Avenue, located in the Shymkent City microdistrict of Shymkent. This innovation has become an important event for residents. Because now the bicycle lane and pedestrian areas will be convenient and safe to use not only during the day, but also at night.

In recent years, the city administration has been paying special attention to the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, the development of mass sports, and the use of environmentally friendly means of transport. A bicycle is not only a sports tool, but also a convenient means of transport in a modern city. Therefore, the construction of bicycle paths and their lighting are one of the main directions of infrastructure projects in the city.

The bicycle path along Baidibek Bi Avenue was put into operation last year. At that time, residents and guests of the city welcomed this initiative with great joy. However, the issue of lighting has long been relevant. The darkness of the road posed a certain danger, especially for citizens who went for an evening walk or cycling at night. Now this problem has been completely resolved.

The installed 124 light poles are equipped with modern energy-saving technologies. These lights:

• has a long-term use;

• allows you to save energy;

• Provides sufficient light levels without causing eye damage;

• Works effectively in various weather conditions.

In addition, the design of the new lights also meets modern standards. This will not only beautify the city's appearance, but also improve the quality of the overall infrastructure.

The lighting of the pedestrian and bicycle paths will allow residents to actively relax even in the evening. This is especially a great joy for residents who have made it a habit to take walks with their families.

As representatives of the city's cycling association noted, the installation of traffic lights will not only ensure safety, but also help attract more people to an active lifestyle. Because a safe environment is a factor that directly affects people's regular participation in sports.

Comfortable and safe bicycle paths also contribute to the development of a traffic culture in the city. Previously, some cyclists were forced to share the road with cars after dark. This, in turn, increased the risk of traffic accidents. Now, the lighting of the bicycle path has reduced this risk and created favorable conditions for all traffic participants.

In addition, this initiative encourages the frequent use of environmentally friendly transport - bicycles. The development of an environmentally friendly, affordable mode of transport is part of the sustainable development strategy of the Shymkent akimat.

The city administration pays special attention to the development of mass sports. In recent years, new sports grounds, outdoor fitness areas, pedestrian and bicycle paths have been built and put into operation in the city.

The bicycle path along Baidibek Bi Avenue is a place that not only improves health for residents, but also allows them to spend their free time effectively. Cycling and running are becoming a habit, especially among young people. This will undoubtedly have a positive impact on the ecological situation of the city.

The city's residents are expressing warm comments about the installation of new lights. Photos and videos posted on social media show residents' joy. Many support this initiative and express confidence that work on lighting other streets and bike paths will continue.

The city administration plans to continue implementing infrastructure projects systematically in the future. In particular, measures aimed at ensuring public safety will be in focus. A special plan has been developed in Shymkent to build new bicycle paths, repair existing roads, and expand lighting.

At the same time, the city authorities will continue to hold various events, cycling tours, and sports festivals to encourage residents to participate in mass sports. All of these events will not only improve the health of residents, but also revitalize the social life of the city.

The lighting of the bicycle path along Baidibek Bi Avenue is a big step towards the safety and comfort of city residents. This project is a clear demonstration of Shymkent's development as a modern metropolis.

The bicycle path and pedestrian path, equipped with 124 light poles, will provide residents with comfortable conditions for evening walks, sports, and spending time in the fresh air. Such measures taken by the city administration will undoubtedly continue in the future.
