Residents of Nizhny Tagil are encouraged to participate in the selection of urban projects scheduled for improvement by 2026. Voting and discussion are currently available on the official website of the city administration until March 21, 2025, according to the city’s press service. Initiatives for the improvements will occur within the national project "Infrastructure for Life" and through the municipal program "Formation of a Modern Urban Environment" which spans from 2017 to 2030.
Five specific locations are under consideration for enhancement: Rudnik Park named after the III International, Pobedy Alley along Pobedy Street (from Parkhomenko Street to Vostochnaya), the area between the buildings on Chernyshevsky Street, the "Book Yard" along Karla Marksa Street, and Gorky Park. Residents can voice their opinions and vote for their preferred sites by visiting the section "Formation of Comfortable Urban Environment" on the official city administration website, which also provides detailed information about each proposed location and planned works for their reconstruction or development.
Sites with the highest number of votes will advance to the final rating vote, where the leading site will receive federal funding. Voting can be conveniently accessed through the link:
Improvement proposals include constructing pedestrian pathways, installing new lighting systems, and enhancing security with video surveillance across various parks. The areas will also be cleared of old greenery, and amenities such as benches and trash cans will be placed for visitor comfort. New trees and shrubs are on the agenda, along with dedicated recreational spaces, including play areas for children and facilities for sports activities.
For Gorky Park, plans involve renovating entrance groups and landscaping the entire area for improved visitor experience, paired with new parking spaces to accommodate the increased foot traffic. Visitors to these parks will find newly crafted paths and playground installations aimed at enhancing family-friendly environments. Separate zones for recreation will also be set aside.
On Pobedy Street, additional enhancements are planned, including the installation of flower beds and artistic lighting to improve overall aesthetics. Repairs will also extend to retaining walls and sidewalks, ensuring safety and accessibility. Each site slated for improvement will feature video cameras to guarantee the safety of local citizens and updates to lighting systems to increase security.
The renovation efforts signify the city’s dedication to improving communal spaces and enhancing the quality of life for its residents. Citizens are encouraged to actively participate and voice their preferences through the voting process now available online. This initiative not only promotes community engagement but also ensures the selected projects resonate with the priorities of the local populace.
The voice of Nizhny Tagil residents is important, and the city looks forward to seeing which locations will emerge as the top choices for receiving much-needed improvement funds. Participation is both simple and impactful, allowing community members to shape their environment for years to come.
