I. Metshin: “We don’t just hear you, we already made decisions”

(KZN.RU, November 7, Mikhail Chentsov). Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, held a regular working meeting on the territory of the “Salavat Cupere” with the participation of about three dozen residents of the district. The Mayor told the new settlers about the decisions taken on the results of their first meeting. In a short time, there was organized street lighting in the yards of new buildings on the streets Zilantovskaya, Fattakh, Ayrat Arslanov, and Zarechie.

During the visit of the Mayor to the “Salavat Cupere” 3 weeks ago, the residents of the district raised the issues of transport accessibility of the micro-district, lack of street lighting, a children's polyclinic, and a pharmacy.

Today the Mayor informed the gathered residents about a number of decisions already taken. In particular, the city authorities agreed with the GZhF about the premises for the children's polyclinic. By prior arrangement, it will be located on the Zarechie Prospect, №28. “We will adjust the work so that the opening is in the next year”, said the Mayor of Kazan. Until the children's polyclinic is opened, a number of small buses will be launched to the polyclinic in Yudino so that mothers with children will have an easier time getting to health care. “You will know the schedule and we will take you for these six months until the children's polyclinic appears here”, said the Mayor.

According to Ilsur Metshin, today the city authorities together with the Ministry of Transport and Road Facilities of the RT are considering the possibility of expanding the streets Osinovskaya and Fattakh. In addition, there is a discussion of the prospects for the construction of an understudy road leading to the “Salavat Cupere” from Tetsovskaya Street. The relevant appeal is addressed to the President of the RT. At the moment, the preliminary cost of works is set at 120 million rubles. “We hope that there will be a decision for the next year”, noted the Mayor.

After the capital reconstruction of this road, it will be possible to extend bus route №62 to the “Salavat Cupere”, said Aidar Abdulkhakov, the chairman of the Committee on Transport, who attended the meeting. So far, the safety requirements of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate don’t allow a bus to pass through it. It is necessary to make lighting, install bus-stops and stop pockets, etc.

“You applied and we made a decision, the resolution of the Executive Committee was signed. The route №62 operates but we cannot prolong it without permission of the traffic police. I want to say that we don’t just hear you, we already made decisions”, said Ilsur Metshin and once again stressed that the next stage of improvement involves constructing a road with lighting.

The local residents appealed to the Mayor with an alternative solution, which, in their opinion, would help relieve the traffic flow during the construction of the relief road. “There is a road along Yusupov Street, which runs through the village of Zalesny. It must be connected with the Khibinskaya to provide another exit to the city and entry. This at least somehow would unload Osinovskaya Street”, suggested Alena Shamseeva on behalf of the residents. The head of the city promised to analyze this option.

During the time that has passed since the previous meeting, the residents of the “Salavat Cupere” have accumulated new questions. So, Asiya Gilmutdinova raised the topic of security in the neighborhood and noted that the neighborhood needs its own police station.

Sergey Mironov, the head of the Kirovsky and Moskovsky districts’ administration, said that a separate police station will appear in the micro-district at the beginning of next year. “The Internal Affairs Directorate plans to complete the repair work in January and there will be a separate police station. For now, we are sending our department of public order protection for duty”, he explained.

The opening of the MFC, the post office in the “Salavat Cupere”, the arrangement of flat parking lots, and others were among issues, raised by local residents at the meeting.

“We will thoroughly work out each issue, and I will report these wishes to the President on your behalf. I will let you know about all the decisions”, summed up the Mayor of Kazan.

The residents thanked the head of the city for the meeting. “It’s very good that we are in dialogue, that our problems and tasks are heard at the highest level”, noted Alena Shamseeva.

Before the meeting with residents, the head of the capital of the RT visited the local adult clinic “Spasenie” and the kindergarten №134.

4 blocks, which include 22 houses, are built within the first stage of the residential complex. 11 houses for 3264 apartments were delivered and settled in the residential area.
