The new projects are:
A media library and pedestrian bridge in Mziuri Park
Kaladze said that the reconstruction of Mziuri Park is at the last stage.
During the second stage a pedestrian bridge will be built which will connect Mziuri Park to the nearby zoo.
Renovation of Baratashvili Street
Tbilisi City Hall will start renovating Baratashvili Street that connects Baratashvili Bridge to Orbeliani square. Both Baratashvili Bridge and Orbeliani Square have recently been renovated. Kaladze said that now it is time to renovate the Baratashvili Street, where a new cover of asphalt will be laid, pavements will be repaired as will electricity transmission lines, poles and underground communications.
Renovation of Ketevan Tsamebuli Avenue
Kaladze said that Ketevan Tsamebuli Avenue will also be renovated. About 13 million GEL will be spent renovating the 2 km long avenue that starts from the Avlabari Metro station and ends at Lekh Kachinski street. The avenue will also receive a new cover of asphalt, sidewalks, electricity poles and underground communication lines will be repaired.
Kaladze said that the renovation of Chavchavadze Avenue in Vake district of Tbilisi is nearing completion, as are Vekua and Khizanishvili streets in Gldani district.
The reconstruction of Tbilisi’s Mziuri Park is at the last stage, says the Ministry of Infrastructure. Bicycle roads, benches, bins, drinking water fountains, and recreation areas were set up in the park area. Also, an artificial lake, skateboard and children's playgrounds were built on the territory of the Mziuri Park.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) will provide a €75 million sovereign loan to modernise Tbilisi’s metro network in Georgian capital city. The EBRD will allocate €65 million while the GCF will provide €10 million, which will be spent on the acquisition of 40 modern metro cars as well as the modernisation of a depot and a tunnel.
Georgian startup company Scroll has launched an electric scooter-sharing system in the Georgian capital city of Tbilisi and Black Sea resort town of Batumi.
Tbilisi City Hall is continuing to modernise the streets of the Georgian capital through the development of infrastructure and green spaces, making them more suitable for the citizens of the city.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will allocate €90 million to finance a project which aims to strengthen the energy network in Georgia and to construct energy transmission lines in the country.
The Tbilisi City Hall will not allow recreational spaces and sports fields to be sacrificed for the construction of buildings or offices, says Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze, noting that there is enough space in the city for developers to carry out projects they have planned.
One of the oldest recreational parks of Tbilisi, Vake Park will be fully closed in a few days due to ongoing renovation works, Tbilisi Mayor Kakha Kaladze said earlier today.
