46% of the Waste Chutes in Yerevan's Apartment Buildings Have Been Closed: Mayor

Yerevan will soon have a modern public skate park. During the latest working meeting held at the city hall, it was reported to the mayor that the construction of the recreation area is in its final stages. This was announced by the Yerevan City Hall.

Construction work is actively underway on the Babajanyan-Ashtarak and Argavand-Shirak road sections, which are part of Yerevan's western ring road. A 252-meter-long and 28-meter-wide metal bridge being built over the Hrazdan River is set to take shape soon, with the last support of the bridge currently being installed. The road connecting the northern and southern entrances of the capital is expected to be put into operation by the end of this year.

The active dismantling of unregistered mobile trade trailers continues in the city. During a working meeting held at the city hall, it was reported to the mayor that 49 mobile units have already been evacuated by community efforts, and 8 mobile points have been removed by entrepreneurs. Mobile trade points have been operating this year only with the permission of the city hall. An easy-to-use electronic platform has been created for entrepreneurs, allowing them to register and organize their businesses. This requirement is established by law, and specific locations and standards for mobile trade are set by the city council's decision.

Under the instruction of Mayor Haik Marutyan, the process of dismantling illegal constructions continues in various administrative districts of the capital. Since June 22, a total of 93 unauthorized structures have been dismantled. Thanking the police for their effective support, the mayor emphasized that the fight against illegally constructed buildings will be ongoing.

With the cooperation of local government, apartment associations, and residents, the process of closing waste chutes in the apartment buildings in Yerevan continues. The mayor has been informed that 1,682 waste chutes have already been closed, accounting for 46% of all existing waste chutes in apartment buildings. Mayor Haik Marutyan has instructed that the process should continue consistently, stressing that only in this way can issues of foul odors, rats, and overall sanitary problems in the buildings be solved.
