Now the creation of a pedestrian area is considered as an experiment. In September, will be analyzed the results and will make the final decision to leave this part of the street is pedestrian only, or return the boat back.

The initiators of this project say that according to transport models Kiev, Large Zhytomyr ARVAL duplicates – both streets lead traffic flow of cars on the European square. But the capacity of the area is limited, so the transit through Yaroslaviv Val, ostensibly, increases the capacity of the street network of the city center in General.

“Overlap area only 40 metres, so all the entrances to housing, offices and Commerce remain open,” they say.
