(KZN.RU, April 24, Mikhail Chentsov). A citywide subbotnik will be held on April 29 in Kazan, in which citizens and employees of two thousand different enterprises and institutions will take part. Igor Kulyazhev, the deputy head of the Executive Committee and the chairman of the Committee for External Improvement, reported this at the traditional staff meeting in the Kazan City Hall.

According to the speaker, this year, as well as in the last two years, the main accent of the subbotnik will be made on cleaning coastal water protection zones, as well as urban parks. The plots are defined in each district where large-scale works will be carried out for sanitary cleaning of such territories as parks on the streets Parin and Dubravnaya, coastal zones along Lake Kaban and the Kazanka River (on Gavrilov Street), the Troitsky forest, the Berezovye groves located in Privolzhsky and Sovetsky districts. Also, cleaning in all yard areas will be organized.

I. Kulyazhev noted that the structural units of the Kazan Executive Committee together with the Ministry of Forestry of the RT will be cleaning the stretch of the Russo-German Switzerland territory, from the Millennium bridge towards the Sovetsky district, and along the Kazanka River in the area of the stadium “Kazan Arena”.

“We plan that more than 50 thousand people, two thousand different enterprises and institutions will take part in a citywide subbotnik, more than 600 units of various equipment will be used”, he concluded. The necessary equipment will be provided to everyone who wishes to participate in the subbotnik.

Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, noted that cleaning in the city does not take place in one day. Therefore, despite the fact that contractors and management companies are beginning to clean up the territories as soon as the snow melts, much work remains to be done. “There are a large number of areas which we cannot do without the help of our citizens, students, and workers of industrial enterprises. Therefore, I invite everyone to take part in the subbotnik, to clean up our city, to make it pleasant, first of all, for ourselves”, said the Mayor.

The head of the city added that participation in the subbotnik includes also a large educational process. “It is the best example when children see how parents clean the area around the house”, noted I. Metshin.

In conclusion, the Mayor of Kazan shared his impressions of walking around the city last weekend. During the bypass of the city’s streets, the head of Kazan noted a number of positive and negative moments. “Of course, the work is visible. There was no unauthorized trade on the entire Bauman Street, except for two places”, said the Mayor. In addition, I. Metshin urged the owners of buildings, facilities, structures in Kazan to eliminate minor defects: to paint rusty fences, to wash showcases, to put in order entrance groups, etc.

Also, the Mayor said that he unplanned checked the public transport work and ride the trolleybus №3 from the Leninsky garden. The head of the city positively assessed the culture of service but was dissatisfied with the appearance of the conductor, who was dressed in tights, and mud in the cabin. I. Metshin instructed the Committee on Transport to work out these issues in order to keep the work of public transport at a high level.
