For the new
winter season in Kazan, 596 special snow removal vehicles were prepared at the
improvement enterprises. The Mayor of Kazan Ilsur Metshin examined the
readiness of equipment for operation in winter conditions during a visit to the
MUE “Gorodskoe blagoustroystvo”.
Today, all
improvement companies are ready for winter maintenance of roads, the head of
the city noted. “Almost 600 special vehicles have been prepared by our
contractors,”-he said. “Today we have grown to 21 million square meters of road
surface to be cleaned. If you look at their length, it is more than 1,900
km-the distance from Kazan to Warsaw. That is to say, after a snowfall, we must
quickly clean the territory equal to the distance from our city to Poland”.
