This year, 130 more pedestrian crossing islands will appear in the capital to make crossing the road safer for pedestrians. They are being added near public transport stops, schools, hospitals, and parks. The projects were developed by road curators in Traffic Management Center.

"We continue to do everything we can to reduce accidents in the capital, as instructed by Sergei Sobyanin and part of the transport development strategy through 2030. Over the past five years, approximately 900 safety islands have been installed near social facilities and public places of interest, based on plans from the Center for Traffic Management's road supervisors. This year, approximately 130 more will be added. Thanks to these changes, traveling around the city has become safer for both pedestrians and drivers," noted the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

Maxim Liksutov.

Specifically, new markings will appear on pedestrian crossings in northeast Moscow—on Dekabristov Street, near Building 10, Bldg. 2. Currently, this section has one lane in each direction, and the road is quite wide. The new safety island will allow pedestrians to safely complete the crossing in two stages, waiting for traffic to pass and ensuring drivers yield to them. A safety island will also appear in the north—on General Ivashutina Street, near Building 80 on Khoroshevskoye Shosse. It will be installed here for the same reason. In the west—on Ramenki Street, near Building 19, Bldg. 1—a new pedestrian crossing with a safety island will appear next to the Ramenki Sports Complex. This will make crossing the road there more convenient and safer.

Safety islands are essential for separating traffic from pedestrians, reducing the risk of accidents, and making travel more comfortable for residents. They allow pedestrians to safely stop mid-crossing and then continue on their way, ensuring that drivers yield.

City traffic management is a comprehensive effort aimed at creating comfortable and safe travel conditions, always prioritizing residents' opinions, convenience, and road safety. Effective engagement with residents helps to improve the traffic situation in various districts of the capital. Each year, the Center for Traffic Management (TsODD) curators develop over a thousand projects, and about a third of these are initiated by residents themselves.

You can contact the road coordinator and submit a proposal for adjusting the traffic plan by email at koordinator-codd@transport.mos.ru. Please include your district and region in the subject line.

Metropolitan Moscow Department of Transport Together with JSC Central Suburban Passenger Company and JSC Transmashholding, the company continues to upgrade rolling stock on the Yaroslavl Line. This line is one of the most popular, so it's important to ensure maximum passenger comfort, noted the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.

"The Yaroslavl route is the most popular in Moscow and the surrounding region. More than 300,000 trips are made on it per weekday. We strive to make passenger travel comfortable, so we are constantly improving our existing conditions. Last June, we began upgrading the rolling stock on the Yaroslavl route. Currently, 15 modern Ivolga 4.0 trains are operating there. Over the course of the year, upgraded EP2DM trains will be added to the fleet. A total of five such trains will operate on the Yaroslavl route," said Maxim Liksutov.

The updated EP2DM trains will be deployed in the spring. The first such train has already arrived at the Aprelevka depot and is undergoing testing on the Kyiv line toward Kaluga.

"Soon, alongside the Ivolga 4.0 trains, five modern EP2DM trains will begin carrying passengers on the Yaroslavl route. They have proven themselves in intensive service on MCD-4, where they have been operating since the diameter's opening, and more recently on MCD-2. For Russia's most popular commuter route, we have prepared an updated version of the train, which will begin operating after testing, adjustments, and test runs," said Ivan Konev, CEO of the Central Suburban Passenger Company.

The updated EP2DM trains were designed with passenger requests in mind. Mint and gray shades have been added to the interior color scheme, and the flooring has been made darker and more practical. The seats, the same as those in the Ivolga 4.0 trains, are stylish and modern, ergonomic, and equipped with USB chargers (Type A and Type C). For passenger convenience, additional vertical and horizontal handrails have been installed while the train is in motion. Signs have been installed above the doors in the vestibules to assist passengers when exiting, especially during rush hour. The restrooms have also been updated. The layout of the restrooms has been redesigned, and a modern touch-sensitive faucet, soap dispenser, and hand dryer have been installed, along with a changing table for passengers with children.

The train livery has also been updated. The updated EP2DM trains feature a new paint scheme on the front of the cars, and additional LED lights—the aforementioned "eyelashes"—have been added, making the train easily recognizable.

Before sending a new train on its maiden voyage with passengers, specialists test the traction and braking systems, check the operation of the pantographs and high-voltage equipment, and test the air conditioning systems. Afterward, they conduct a test run of the train to identify and address any issues.

The capital has approved special regulations for the interaction of city services during the spring floods. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Public Works. Petr Biryukov.

"Flooding in the Moscow region typically begins in late March or early April, and the necessary preparatory measures have already begun. Specifically, snow accumulation monitoring has been organized, and reservoirs, hydroelectric power plants, and other engineering and resource facilities are being prepared. Currently, the flood situation in Moscow is normal, with no increase in water levels observed," noted Pyotr Biryukov.

To organize joint work, a regulation on interaction between JSC Mosvodokanal, the Federal State Budgetary Institution Moscow Canal, and the State Budgetary Institution Gormst was signed, and agreements were concluded with the capital Department of Civil Defense, Emergencies and Fire Safety, as well as the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the city of Moscow.

The documents define the responsibilities of city services, establish a clear flood response plan, and provide for a 24-hour exchange of operational information on the evolving hydrological situation, water volumes, and flow rates. These measures will help synchronize the work of organizations and ensure a smooth transition through this period.

According to regulations, the Moscow Canal must allow meltwater to pass through the city limits, taking into account all lateral inflows, by opening the Karamyshevskaya and Perervinskaya dams. Flooding of coastal areas must also be prevented.

Pyotr Biryukov recalled that Moscow's water supply is based on rivers and reservoirs in three regions: Moscow, Smolensk, and Tver. Water for the capital region is supplied by 15 reservoirs within two systems: the Moskvoretsko-Vazuzskaya and Volzhskaya.
