In an official statement, the municipality noted that Moscow Street is an important one-way thoroughfare and plays a key role in the transportation system, interacting with Toktogul Street.
“If a decision is made to close Moscow Street to motorists, it could worsen the traffic situation in the central part of the city due to changes in traffic flows and increased load on alternative routes. At the same time, the possibility of creating a pedestrian zone on Pushkin Street is being considered. This option will be studied provided that the necessary approvals and consent from the city authorities are obtained,” the city administration's message stated.
