prt scr Telegram / Megapolis | Accident and emergency | Saint Petersburg | RockA photograph posted on a social network shows mud on the road and snow-strewn verges, on which cars are somehow parked. Despite the fact that the photo is devoted to the accident, some Petersburg paid attention to the poor quality of the work of city services.”An excellent photo report on snow removal has been published”, writes one of the commentators. “The whole city is back in the city…they’re not clearing the snow,” one St. Petersburg resident complained.
About the possible reason why the snow on the streets of St. Petersburg was again not removed in time, Alla Bredets, head of the regional control center NP ZhKKH, told PolitExpert. Before answering the question, the people’s choice reminded that cleaning is carried out regardless of weekends – according to the regulations approved by the government of the northern capital.“I live in the city center myself and I can say that most people are still unhappy with the excessive cleaning in the city center and the fact that the outskirts are not cleaned. Uneven cleaning is present both on weekends, holidays and other periods. I can’t explain what this is related to,” the PE interlocutor said.It’s hard to explain why efforts to clear the city of snow are unevenly distributed, she said. Representatives of the beautification committee do not answer such questions, they suggest looking at the street cleaning schedule, she added.“I can advise you to visit near Smolny, to see how the Shpalernaya street is cleaned, where cleaning vehicles circulate around the clock. There is not an extra ounce of snow here. Neither on the roads, nor on the sidewalks, nor in the park area,” said the municipal deputy.Note that it is next to the Smolny Cathedral that the government of Saint Petersburg is located. It is likely that local authorities will be able to monitor the cleaning of these territories.A heavy snowstorm arrived in the northern capital on the night of February 23-24, as a result, the streets were covered with snow. However, local utilities failed to resolve the problem quickly.
