The project involves improving the intra-block road connecting Chernovitskaya, Nakhimova, Kornilov, Ushakova, and Gaidara Streets. It requires major road repairs, sidewalk maintenance, and lighting, which is simply lacking in many areas. Road signs also need to be installed.

"But instead of including this clearly unsafe section in the regular repair plan, City Duma Deputy Andrei Kashaev announced the need for people to collect signatures to be included in the federal program. If this were standard practice—what residents vote for is what gets improved first—then there would be no questions. But just look at the voting form they're offering to everyone who wants to walk on smooth, illuminated asphalt! Is this propaganda? No, you haven't heard of it." — writes Novaya.
