YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 5, NOYAN TAPAN. The municipality of Yerevan envisages
to build underground car parking stations in the capital in 2008-2011.
According to the information provided by Samvel Danielian, the Chief
Architect of Yerevan, at the press conference held on February 4,
the municipality has made such a decision taking into consideration
the overcharge of the streets of the capital, as well as the fact
that streets are used as car parking stations.
In the words of Samvel Danielian, it is envisaged to build car
parking stations in the underground sections of the Square of France,
in the neighborhood of the municipality, the Shahumian square, the
"Republican" sports ground, and the Ararat tennis club, which is
located in the vicinity of the Yerevan State University. According
to Samvel Danielian, it is not excluded that a car parking station
will also be built in the underground section of the Republican
square. In his words, in case of the implementation of this plan,
car parking stations for general use envisaged for 10000 cars will
be located in the center of the capital.
In addition to this, it is also envisaged to build car parking stations
in yards, after which the garages situated there will be pulled
down. Samvel Danielian made assertions that after the implementation
of the plan the green spaces of Yerevan will increase by 30%.
