Last year, 7 new public gardens appeared, the lighting of 10 streets was improved.

Modernization of apartment buildings is planned this year. Roofs will be repaired in 35 queuing houses. Also, for the first time, funds have been allocated for the replacement of elevators in 8 houses.

It is planned to expand Zhumabayev Street in the section from Pionerskaya to Chkalov Streets, a passage to Brusilovskiy will appear. The authorities have already allocated about 1 billion tenge on the roads, and this amount will still be increased during the year.

According to the renovation program "Zhana Kala — New City", the demolition of dilapidated houses will continue and the construction of multi-apartment housing complexes will begin. Construction will continue in three promising districts of the city: "Zhas Orken", "Bereke" and along Ualikhanov street. There are also plans to build up "Kopai" and "Naberezhny" microdistricts.

Meanwhile, the problem of public transport has not yet found its solution.

“Out of the planned 100 units, only 7 have been received so far. Various kinds of delays lead to lengthy procedures. Literally every day, people complain about the quality of transportation,” — the head of the region emphasized. Kumar Aksakalov instructed Bulat Zhumabekov to step up the work and bring the initiative to its logical conclusion.
