Modern city is a safe city

Kaliningrad municipal authorities pay special attention to the activities aimed at safety of the citizens and guests. These measures contain several aspects.

The first aspect lies in law and order maintenance in the streets of Kaliningrad. Though this sphere is closely connected with activity of the law enforcement authorities the city actively participates in establishment of favorable conditions for development of this field. In particular the program "Bright City" which provides installation of traffic lights in the streets and yards of Kaliningrad has been implemented for the last four years.This undertaking contributes to the decrease in level of street crime. Installation of 2000 lamps resulted in reduction of total amount of crimes to 1/6 during the last 1,5 year.

The second aspect is connected with the high level of auto mobilization in the region.The city with population of 450,000 people daily accounts more than 250,000 cars and lorries. In order to centralize the transport streams the city undertakes installation of traffic lights. The speed bumps are installed in the streets near schools. The activities on construction of the first over ground cross-walk are being implemented now.

The third aspect is environmental protection. 80 small boiler houses operating on coal and oil-fuel were shut down during the last 4 years. The municipality plans to continue these activities aimed at total elimination of this source of pollution. Besides the activities on purification of the city's hydrographic system including 120 km of rivers, brooks and flows are being fulfilled. The city pursues a policy of removal of large industrial objects outside the city's borders. Thus, the influence of long term factors generating negative impact is diminished. The city is a living body and the constant construction and modernization works are carried out.

Also, it is planned to complete the process of resettlement of the citizens from rundown accommodation into the buildings of better quality. Hundreds of Kaliningrad families have already left their shabby accommodations. The above mentioned actions will contribute to creation of high safety level in Kaliningrad.
