Upon its opening, Leningradsky Station will become part of the capital's unified transport system. Passenger comfort will be enhanced, including through the introduction of state-of-the-art digital navigation. Following renovations, the building will feature over 220 digital navigation elements, meeting the highest standards of Moscow transport. These innovative signs are already available at several metro stations.

"Following Sergei Sobyanin's instructions, we are continuing the large-scale renovation of Leningradsky Station. We began implementing digital navigation at Moscow's public transportation facilities in 2024. Prior to this, we successfully tested digital navigation at Maryina Roshcha and four new stations on the Troitskaya metro line, on the Vavilovskaya-ZIL section. These signs allow information to be updated in real time. Thanks to these digital solutions, Leningradsky Station passengers will be able to find their way more quickly, traffic flows will be distributed evenly, and the workload on staff will be reduced. The station itself will become part of the city's unified transport ecosystem, where every passenger will be able to easily find the most convenient route," noted the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry.

Maxim Liksutov.

Digital signs have been updated at the Akademicheskaya and Vavilovskaya metro stations.By 2025, the number of digital navigation elements in the metro will more than double.

Digital navigation will guide passengers through the station building and on the platforms, creating a unified digital environment. Innovative navigation elements include departure and arrival boards, wayfinding signs, and media screens. The smart system will provide passengers with real-time route guidance and information about changes.

In the main light hall, navigation will be integrated into the architectural design: information tape will be placed around the perimeter, and an information stand with a dynamic schedule will be installed in the center. Digital columns with up-to-date information will be installed in the ticket hall and elevator area. The ticket counters themselves will be equipped with digital screens, and the electronic queue management system will be updated.

A media cube will be installed on the second floor, in the cafe and restaurant area. Its lower edge will be made of LED fabric. The cube's surface will display train schedules and media content. The distribution area will house digital platform signs, car numbering boards, and an architectural module with digital boards.

The implementation of digital navigation will make Leningradsky Station part of a unified Moscow transport ecosystem, with clear travel logic and convenient navigation for passengers.

Three territorial planning projects in different parts of Moscow have been approved. Sergei Sobyanin announced this on his channel inMAX messenger.

"We will create Russia's first elevator and vertical transport cluster in the Nizhny Novgorod district. The site of the Karacharovsky Mechanical Plant, a resident of the Technopolis Moscow SEZ, will be reorganized," the Moscow Mayor wrote.

Source: Sergei Sobyanin's channel inMAX messenger

The Karacharovsky Mechanical Plant (KMZ) is located in the Nizhny Novgorod District of the South-Eastern Administrative District (SEAD) at 2 Ryazansky Prospekt. It is a resident of the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone (SEZ).

Founded in 1950, the company remains one of the leaders in domestic elevator manufacturing. The plant produces approximately five thousand elevators annually. Its products are in high demand on the Moscow market—elevators manufactured at KMZ have been installed in thousands of residential and public buildings throughout the capital, including such famous Moscow landmarks as the Cathedral of Christ the Savior and the memorial on Poklonnaya Hill.

In recent years, the plant has been actively supplying its products to new buildings constructed under the renovation program.

According to the approved development plan, the above-ground non-residential area of KMZ facilities will more than triple to 194,220 square meters, of which 165,900 square meters will be new construction. Most of the new facilities will be built with private investment. As a result of the plant's modernization, the main production facility with its boiler room will be preserved and new public and industrial facilities will be constructed, including a production complex with a testing tower, two administrative and industrial buildings, and an above-ground parking garage.

Additionally, a restaurant with an observation deck and a conference room will be opened in the test tower building, and a recreational area for employees is planned for the plant grounds.

The plant's modernization will increase its production capacity to 12,000 elevators per year. The facility will also be able to manufacture heavy-duty and commercial escalators, moving walkways, lifting platforms for people with disabilities, control stations, multimedia screens for vertical transport, telemetry kits, and other elevator components.

Overall, approximately 3,000 new jobs will be created, bringing the total workforce to over 4,500. Thus, the KMZ production site will become Russia's first elevator and vertical transport cluster.

A new school and kindergarten in southeast Moscow

A new urban neighborhood will be built on the site of the former Yuzhny Port industrial zone. The redeveloped area is located in the southeastern part of Moscow, in the Pechatniki district, between Proektiruyemy Proezd No. 1423, Yuzhnoportovaya Street, the Moskva River embankment, and 2nd Yuzhnoportovy Proezd.

Here, as part of the integrated territorial development program, real estate with a total area of 282,170 square meters is planned to be built. The project will include modern residential complexes with apartments totaling 118,790 square meters.

"In the Pechatniki district, on part of the former Yuzhny Port industrial zone, we will build residential complexes, a school for 625 students, a kindergarten for 325 children, public and business facilities, and other facilities under the KRT project," the Moscow Mayor wrote on his MAX messenger channel.

In addition, the reorganization of the adjacent street and road network, which is approximately one kilometer long, and landscaping of the area are planned.

Thanks to the implementation of the territorial planning project (TPP), over 4,500 people will receive modern housing. Additionally, nearly 2,300 new jobs will be created.

The approved PPT is part of a large-scale project to create a new economic activity center, Yuzhny Port – Tekstilshchiki.

School in Vostochnoye Degunino

The Moscow government also approved a development plan for a 15.35-hectare area in the Vostochnoye Degunino district.

The proposed site is located near properties 77–83 on Dubninskaya Street. The site is currently occupied by outdated buildings—the industrial warehouses of the former Vagonoremont industrial zone, many of which are in poor condition.

The project calls for the construction of 443,810 square meters of real estate on the site of former warehouses. It will include modern residential complexes (with apartments totaling 211,690 square meters), a school for 1,000 students, and a public and business complex.

"Thanks to the implementation of the integrated development program, more than 6,500 people will receive new housing and over 2,800 jobs will be created. The project will be implemented, in part, as part of the integrated territorial development program," the Moscow Mayor wrote on his MAX messenger channel.

In the capital, within the framework of regional capital repairs program More than 30 buildings have been renovated, their facades adorned with festive garlands. This decorative motif, known since antiquity, has become part of the city's architectural language. Garlands have adorned both elegant pre-revolutionary buildings and monumental Stalin-era buildings.

During major repairs, specialists Moscow City Services Complex carefully restore vibrant architectural accents that highlight the unique character of each home.

A house built in 1954 on 1st Novopodmoskovny Lane

In 2022, the façade of Building 4 on 1st Novopodmoskovny Lane was restored. The U-shaped building was erected in 1954 in the Soviet neoclassical style. The first floor is plastered and accented with rustication, floors two through five are clad with painted ceramic blocks, and floors six through nine are clad with unpainted ceramic blocks. The interior of the courtyard façade is made of brick, painted, and accented with avant-corps. The building's façades are decorated with architraves, corbels, and pilasters, and are topped with a massive roof cornice with dentils and ionic frames.

Specialists cleaned and washed all façade surfaces with a special solution, repaired cracks, and restored the brickwork. They also applied an antifungal treatment, significantly extending the lifespan of the surfaces, and water repellency.

Additionally, damaged decorative elements—columns and pilasters, capitals, keystones, and moldings in the form of wreaths and garlands—were repaired. The façade of the building's lower five floors was plastered and painted lemon yellow to match the color scheme. The balconies, basement, window and door jambs were also renovated, and the downspouts and drip caps were replaced.

House built in 1897 on Pokrovka Street

In 2023, the façade, roof, entrance halls, and basement of building 34 on Pokrovka Street underwent a major renovation. The building is decorated with wreaths and garlands of flowers and petals. The brackets on the crowning cornice are covered with plaster acanthus leaves.

The house was built in the early 19th century in the neoclassical style. It acquired its current appearance after a renovation in 1897. The second-floor window spaces are decorated with architraves, fascias, and keystones. Some third-floor piers feature columns with Corinthian capitals. A frieze, decorated with brackets and crowned with a cornice, runs along the perimeter of the front facades.

IN Moscow Capital Repair Fund We developed a custom project that took into account all the nuances of the house, the presence of architectural elements, and the color scheme. The specialists removed old paint from the exterior façade walls, repaired the plaster layer, including the rusticated piers, and restored the brickwork. Areas of the walls affected by fungus or showing signs of moisture were treated with a preservative. After all the preparatory work, the façade was painted in shades of "light green" and "classic white."

The decorative elements were carefully renovated: corner joints and architraves were plastered and painted white, and the moldings were restored. Modern windows and window sills were also installed in the common areas, and the building's basement was re-plastered. The roof sheathing and roofing were replaced. To reduce the risk of fire, a fire-retardant compound was applied to the wooden elements. Temperature and humidity were regulated using modern thermal insulation materials.

More than 30 residential buildings with medallions on their facades have been renovated in the capital.Major repairs to residential roofs have begun in Moscow.

A house built in 1943 on 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya

In 2025, the façade, roof, entrance halls, basement, and several utility systems of Building 13, Building 1a on 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street were renovated. The eight-story building was constructed in 1943 according to a custom design in the Soviet neoclassical style. The street facades on the second through fourth floors are rusticated. The spaces between windows on the upper floors are decorated with panels bearing Soviet symbols. Interstitial bands add volume to the building. The front facades feature French balconies with metal embellishments. A massive cornice and balustrade complete the structure.

Specialists devoted considerable attention to restoring the historic building's original appearance. They cleaned the facades, repaired the plaster, sealed cracks, and carefully and meticulously restored the architectural decoration—the rustication, panels, and balustrade—to their original beauty. They then applied a bioprotective compound to wet areas and painted the building in the historic shades of "light yellow wheat" and "Florentine brown." They replaced the downspouts, repaired the balconies and entrances, and rebuilt the basement.

The roof sheathing, roofing, and rafters were replaced. All wooden elements were treated with a fire-retardant compound, which reduces the risk of fire. The temperature and humidity levels were then regulated using modern thermal insulation materials. Additionally, the crew renovated the entryways and basements, and replaced the drainage, central heating, and hot and cold water supply systems.

The Moscow City Services Complex noted that the regional program for capital repairs of the housing stock is in line with the goals and objectives of the national project.

April 1st marks International Bird Day. The Moscow Zoo, which is part of the capital's Department of Culture, home to unique birds: cassowaries, southern ground hornbills, shoebills, and other rare species. Tickets can be purchased through Mosbilet.

African hornbill: Southern ground hornbill

The Southern Ground Hornbill is the largest member of the hornbill family. It reaches 120 centimeters in length, and males weigh up to six kilograms. The bird gets its name from its massive, hooked bill.

The pair of birds has been living at the Moscow Zoo for over 20 years. In 2017, they had their first chick, which ornithologists hand-fed. Two years later, in 2019, three more chicks were born—named Socrates, Bruno, and Platon. The great horned ravens can now be seen in the "House of Birds" on the old site.

Southern ground hornbills are native to Africa. At birth, they are brown, but their feathers turn black and red as they mature. Their diet includes mice, quail, insects, and nuts. In captivity, these birds can live for over 60 years.

The world's most dangerous bird: the southern cassowary

Cassowaries have lived in the Moscow Zoo since 1995 and can be seen in the House of Birds enclosure.

The southern cassowary is one of the largest birds on the planet. Its body length reaches 170 centimeters, and females can weigh up to 58 kilograms. These birds have a dark brown, horny cap on their heads, while their sides and neck are bright blue and red, which change depending on the bird's behavior.

Cassowaries also have powerful three-toed feet, with an inner claw reaching 10 centimeters in length. In the wild, this bird is considered one of the most dangerous. Cassowaries inhabit the tropical forests of New Guinea and northeastern Australia. Their diet includes fruits, cereals, eggs, and cottage cheese, with the addition of fish and meat.

A bird listed in the IUCN Red List: the shoebill

In 2024, a pair of young shoebills was added to the Moscow Zoo's collection. Russia became the first country to display these rare birds. A new 350-square-meter enclosure was built for them on the existing property next to the skating rink.

An adult shoebill can reach 150 centimeters in length, with a wingspan of 2.5 meters. Shoebills have gray feathers, a white belly, and a small crest of feathers on the back of their heads. The birds prefer to live alone; the male and female are kept in separate sections of the enclosure and meet only during the breeding season. Their diet includes trout and carp.

Shoebills inhabit the swampy areas of East Africa, from South Sudan to Zambia. There are approximately 8,000 individuals left in the wild; this species is listed as endangered. The bird gets its name from its enormous beak, which they use to catch fish and carry water for their chicks—their beak can hold up to a liter of liquid.

In addition, three species of birds—Red-listed Japanese cranes, green peafowl, and spotted turkeys—can be observed in the online broadcast project fromMoscow ZooA broadcast from the "Japanese Yard" exhibit, where these birds are kept, is available daily. The project is being implemented in collaboration with the Moscow Department of Information Technology.

The program of events at the Moscow Zoo contributes to the implementation of the goals and objectives of the national project in Moscow "Family"More information about Russia's national projects and the capital's contribution can be found atspecial page.

In spring, demand for tire services in Moscow spikes as car owners prepare to swap their winter tires for summer ones. This can be done at auto repair shops—there are approximately 2,500 service and maintenance facilities in the capital. However, it's important not only to change tires on time but also to recycle worn tires in an environmentally responsible manner.

Mos.ru reports on the weather conditions that require tire changes, how quickly tires can be replaced in the capital, and how to dispose of old, unwanted tires without harming the environment.

When should you change your winter tires to summer ones?

In spring, the weather in the capital is typically unstable, with frost and icy roads possible. Therefore, tires should be changed when the weather warms up steadily, when nighttime temperatures no longer drop below freezing, and when driving is not done early in the morning or late in the evening, when the risk of icy conditions increases. Those traveling outside the city should be especially careful: frost is still possible at night in the surrounding region, so it's best to plan such trips during the day.

Specialists at the Traffic Management Center (TMC) recommend replacing winter tires with summer tires when the average daily temperature exceeds 7 degrees Celsius. "Delayed tire replacement directly impacts traffic safety and can lead to accidents. Worn or out-of-season tires reduce traction and increase braking distances," the TMC explained.

Tires vary significantly in their composition and tread pattern depending on the season. Winter tires are not designed for use at temperatures above 7°C (45°F)—they begin to slip. Driving on winter tires on wet pavement is also particularly dangerous, as the risk of hydroplaning increases significantly. This occurs when a vehicle completely or partially loses traction due to a layer of water forming between the tires and the pavement. Besides the risk of accidents, other consequences should be considered. Winter tires are softer, so they literally begin to melt in warmer temperatures, leading to accelerated wear and overheating. The composition of summer tires makes them softer in warm weather, and their tread features large, widely spaced longitudinal grooves that act as water channels and provide better traction.

How quickly do auto repair shops in Moscow change tires?

According to data Department of Trade and Services of the City of MoscowAuto repair shops and auto technical centers account for 10 percent of the total number of consumer service enterprises, and some of them specialize entirely in tire fitting.

On average, every car owner uses tire service three times a year—twice for tire changes in the fall and spring, and once for diagnostics, balancing, repairs, and inflation.

"Demand and supply for tire fitting services are balanced, and workshops are successfully coping with seasonal workload. On average, one workshop services four cars per hour, which helps avoid long waits even during peak season," the department said.

At the same time, many metropolitan auto repair shops offer high-quality customer service, which, as a rule, includes:

— online booking via the website or app;

— flexible work schedule, including weekends;

— comprehensive services: balancing, diagnostics, disk repair;

— transparent pricing, cashless payment terminals and receipt issuance.

In addition, some locations offer discounts for pre-booking, making the service even more profitable.

How to choose a car service center

The following materials will help you decide on the right auto repair shop capital consumer portal, collected in the thematic section Transport servicesFor example, here you can learn about the importance of reviewing reviews of the organization's work before signing a contract. You can also confirm by phone in advance whether a contract for the work will be signed and what the deadlines are.conducting.

Experts also explain what to do if a driver is dissatisfied with the quality of service and how to resolve a dispute—from drafting a pre-trial claim to filing a lawsuit and going through the stages of legal proceedings. All the details are in this material.

Where to dispose of old tires

After replacing tires, it's important not to leave worn-out old tires near trash containers near your home—this is harmful to the environment, as exposure to precipitation and sunlight causes tires to release toxic substances into the atmosphere.

An alternative and environmentally friendly option is to recycle unwanted tires. This can be done through the project Eco-points of Moscow capital Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection.

"Eco-points are specialized containers and collection points for unwanted items located near residential buildings, parks, shopping centers, and public spaces. Fourteen points across Moscow accept unwanted tires for recycling free of charge. Moscow drivers are eager to participate in our project—last year, they donated nearly 600 tons of tires," the department said.

In order to send worn tires for recycling, you must:

– remove the tires from the rims;

– clean them from dirt and debris;

– bring it to one of the collection points – addresses and opening hours can be found atwebsite project.

How tires are recycled

In Moscow, modern, environmentally friendly methods for recycling used car tires are used.

During mechanical recycling (crushing), tires are crushed to produce rubber crumb. This crumb is used for playground surfaces, pedestrian walkways, and road surfaces. This processing also produces metal and textile cords (threads) used in construction.

During thermal processing (pyrolysis), tires are decomposed in specialized units. As a result, the rubber is converted into hydrocarbon raw materials used in industry, such as synthetic oil, thermolysis gas, and carbon black.

You can find out what other unwanted items you can donate at Moscow's eco-points atwebsite project.

Capital specialists urban economy complex Hydraulic testing of heating networks has begun without disconnecting consumers. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing, Utilities, and Public Works. Petr Biryukov.

"Today, the total length of heating networks in the capital is over 19,000 kilometers, so we're starting hydraulic testing early to ensure the utilities and equipment are ready for the upcoming fall and winter. Work has already begun on sections that can be isolated from the main heating system without disconnecting consumers," said Pyotr Biryukov.

By the end of April, 55 stages of hydraulic testing are planned on pipelines with a total length of 234.2 kilometers. The work will be carried out in all administrative districts.

Organizing heating network testing is one of the key areas of preparation for the heating season. Their primary objective is to identify potentially unreliable sections in advance and promptly restore them to ensure uninterrupted heat supply to consumers during the season. MOEK specialists conduct the bulk of their hydraulic testing from May to September, after the heating is shut off.

During summer work on the heating system, specialists rewire pipelines using modern technologies, conduct preventative and major repairs to heating stations and central heating units, and maintain and repair in-house heating and hot water supply systems.
