On September 7, 2025, lighting installation along the bike path and pedestrian area on Baidybek Bi Avenue in the Shymkent City microdistrict was completed. 124 modern lighting poles were installed, making the area safer, more comfortable, and more attractive for city residents.

Previously, the bike path and sidewalk were commissioned without proper lighting. Despite this, they were actively used by residents: young people rode bicycles and scooters, parents took walks with their children, and older residents chose the alley for morning and evening strolls. However, the lack of lighting at night created certain inconveniences and even safety risks.

Now, thanks to the installed streetlights, the situation has changed dramatically. In the evening and at night, the road section is illuminated evenly, allowing cyclists, pedestrians, and drivers to feel more confident.

Lighting is not only a convenience but also a crucial safety feature. According to experts, well-lit streets reduce the likelihood of traffic accidents and help prevent crime. This is especially true for new neighborhoods in the city, where populations are rapidly growing and traffic is increasing.

The Shymkent administration is systematically developing sports and pedestrian infrastructure. Bike paths are becoming an integral part of the urban environment. Cycling and active outdoor walks are not only an accessible form of physical activity but also an important element of a healthy lifestyle.

Modern research shows that regular cycling strengthens the cardiovascular system, reduces stress, and improves respiratory function. For children, it's a great alternative to spending too much time on gadgets, and for adults, it's a low-cost way to stay physically fit.

Creating comfortable conditions for outdoor sports is directly linked to the goals of national programs to build a healthy nation. This is why Shymkent places great emphasis not only on the construction of sports complexes but also on the development of courtyard, street, and cycling infrastructure.

Equally important, the popularization of cycling has a positive impact on the city's environment. Bicycles emit no exhaust fumes, create no noise pollution, and take up less space on roads and in parking lots.

For Shymkent, where the number of cars is growing annually, developing a cycling culture is becoming a strategic priority. The more residents choose cycling as an alternative mode of transport for short trips, the cleaner and safer the city's air will be.

The installed lighting poles are equipped with energy-saving lamps and a modern power supply system. According to specialists, the new luminaires are durable, energy-efficient, and provide high illumination. This will reduce the burden on the city budget and ensure the stable operation of the system in the long term.

Maintenance and regular monitoring of the equipment are also provided. In the event of malfunctions, prompt repairs will be carried out, ensuring uninterrupted operation of the lighting.

Local residents greeted the news of the completion of the lighting installation with enthusiasm.

A resident of the Aigul Zh. microdistrict shared:
"We often come here for walks with the kids. It used to be uncomfortable in the dark, and we had to go home early. Now it's bright and safe, the kids can ride longer, and we feel more at ease."

And student Arman, who uses a bicycle every day, noted:
"This bike path has been a real godsend for us. Now I can ride safely in the evenings after school. I hope similar projects will appear in other parts of the city."

The installation of lighting on Baidybek Bi Avenue is part of a comprehensive improvement program for Shymkent. In recent years, the city has been rapidly developing: new parks, alleys, and sports grounds are being built, roads are being repaired, and modern residential areas are being constructed.

Particular attention is paid to creating a comfortable environment for living and recreation. City authorities emphasize that the administration's goal is to make Shymkent a modern metropolis where every resident feels safe and has the opportunity to lead an active and healthy lifestyle.

Thus, the installation of 124 lighting poles along the bike path and sidewalk on Baydibek Bi Avenue is not just a technical innovation, but an important step toward creating a modern, safe, and environmentally friendly urban environment.

The new facility has become a clear example of how infrastructure solutions can impact residents' quality of life. Residents of the Shymkent City microdistrict can now use the bike path and pedestrian area at any time of day, enjoying walks and sports.

The city administration is confident that such projects strengthen citizen trust and foster a culture of responsible ownership of their city. Shymkent is moving toward becoming one of the most convenient and environmentally friendly cities in the country, and the development of cycling infrastructure plays a vital role in this process.
