Bishkek Promises Promenade Along Ala-Archa River and Victory Park Reconstruction

The mayor's office in Bishkek has announced plans to develop a promenade along the Ala-Archa River, creating a new pedestrian zone stretching from Janyl Baatyra Avenue to the Southern Big Chu Canal. This initiative is detailed in an official response from the municipality to a member of the Jogorku Kenesh, Dastan Bekeshev.

Separately, an electronic auction intended to sell a portion of the Dair Asanov Victory Park was declared unsuccessful. The city is now working on a concept for the park's revitalization. Key conditions for any future development of this park section include preserving existing trees and shrubs, ensuring proper care for the green areas, and obtaining approval from the mayor's office and architectural bodies for any plans involving attractions and commercial facilities.

The proposed concept for the park's improvement includes the creation of a walking promenade, the construction of new sidewalks, a dedicated bicycle path, the installation of street lighting, and the addition of small architectural forms. The project also involves additional landscaping and aims to connect the Victory Park with the new riverside promenade through pedestrian routes.

City officials have assured that efforts will be made to avoid cutting down trees and to minimize the impact on the natural environment during the development process. The plan reflects a commitment to enhancing public spaces and improving the city's recreational infrastructure.
