City hall noted that Moscow Street has the status of a citywide arterial road and operates with one-way traffic. It plays an important role in the city's transportation system, interacting with Toktogul Street.
“If Moscow Street becomes pedestrian-only, it could negatively impact the traffic situation in the city center, as traffic flows would be redistributed, increasing the load on neighboring streets. However, the creation of a pedestrian zone on Pushkin Street is possible. This option can be explored, subject to further coordination and decision-making by local authorities,” the official statement said.
