open the microphone
As of last year, public meetings began to be held on the street. Both the governor and attendees liked the format – plans could only be disrupted by heavy rain. Therefore, a second platform is prepared in advance for the safety net and it is decided where to communicate according to the weather conditions. Meetings are open, anyone can come and ask questions. Local residents bring signs to attract the attention of the head of the district, wear bright clothes.
In a conversation with a traveler, any Yamal resident who has firsthand knowledge of the problems of the city or region, Artyukhov admitted that during the first trip around the district in 2019, the local authorities tried only to collect “themselves”.
“Then I said to all the chapters, but some chapters were old school: ‘We invite everyone. They: “Yes, of course.” And all the budget goes to the hall – there is no free space. Irregularity. Therefore, the street and the microphone are free,” he said.
This year, attention was also paid to the comfort of the meeting participants: the residents were provided with blankets and hot tea (evenings in Yamal in August are cool: the temperature is 10-15 degrees). Members of parliament, heads of district departments and municipal officials attend the meetings. Orders are placed on the spot. Meetings are broadcast on the VKontakte social network – viewers leave comments. Artyukhov calls what happened “dialogue without the right to make mistakes.”
One of the main problems
“Roads are our absolute priority. First of all, we will go to the quarterly passages, where many citizens travel, then grandchildren. We will also get to the plots, ”said Artyukhov at a meeting with residents of Novy Urengoy.
Quality Control of the Salekhard-Nadym road has become the most important item in the itinerary of the trip. The four seasons pass opened on December 9, 2020. The highway connected the western and eastern parts of Yamal and connected the capital of the region to the main road network. Travel time has been reduced by three times compared to the winter route. Federal retail chains entered Salekhard, the price of products fell. However, the repair work on the Nadym-Salekhard road is still ongoing.
In general, large-scale construction and repairs are carried out on 173 km of regional and 80 km of municipal roads. A comprehensive approach to road repair in the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Region began: communications are updated, storm sewers are installed, powerline supports and fences are replaced.
“All of our cities were built without rainwater. Without the urban systems introduced in some major cities in the 19th century. It wasn’t before. There was permafrost everywhere, there was no such task, there was no such urban landscape, the goal was one – to build where to live, ”Artyukhov said in a conversation with a traveler.
The governor noted today that any connection is not only costly, but also fraught with great inconvenience.
“As we dig these central streets, while we do everything, season two, we will close the roads. We need to synchronize this with the replacement of service networks. When you start planning all this, we face a very serious event. We are building new roads according to the mind,” Artyukhov explained to the resident. .
In Nadym, Artyukhov studied the progress of work on the repair of the 8th gate. The request to help solve the problem was received in the framework of “Honest Route-2020”, and now the head of the district keeps the problem under control.
The work has already begun. The road will actually be rebuilt – the contractor will have to completely remove the slabs, fill the backfill and prepare the foundation for paving. On the driveway will appear sidewalks and lighting, evaporation trays for the removal of melt and rainwater, special pockets for simplified entry into the territory of the objects located here. 2.2 km of the road will be put in order.
“The contract for the reconstruction was signed until the end of 2024. It takes a long time, but there are objective difficulties: there are many networks, gas pipelines, electricity. “I believe that the contracting company will make every effort to do everything as soon as possible, ideally next season,” said Artyukhov.
While visiting the whites
The housing issue is one of the main topics of meetings with residents and one of the main priorities of the governor’s work. The ambitious task of the regional president is to resettle 1 million square meters. m of emergency housing by 2025. Almost half done today.
During the seven months of this year, 1,597 families, more than 4,000 Yamal residents, were resettled. The resettlement of accidents is carried out according to both federal and regional programs, and the latter is concluded taking into account the wishes of residents. After receiving the redemption value, you can move to any part of the country or buy a residence in the district.
During the trip, Artyukhov visited the Vedenkin family, who moved from the crumbling wooden house of the Mostootryad-93 emergency settlement to a new apartment in Korotchaevo. The regional president had met the spouses a year ago on a previous trip. At the end of last year, emergency home owners moved into a new flat.
“The stewardess treated me with pike and mushroom pizza with belyashi – very tasty,” Dmitry Artyukhov said on the Telegram channel.
Sports, business and casual environment
During the rally, topics such as the construction of sports facilities, landscaping and, of course, business support were brought up for general discussion. The governor said that in the past three years, 28 sports facilities have been operational in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug. At least 37 more are planned for the next three years.
Since the beginning of the federal project “Creating a Cozy Urban Environment”, 274 public and 1,126 courtyard spaces in Yamal have changed their appearance. In Novy Urengoy comes the largest-scale landscape work – it will be carried out on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the city, which will be celebrated in 2025. Artyukhov made sure that many pleasant surprises were prepared for the townspeople.
As part of the “Honest Route” compiled from the proposals of Yamal residents, Dmitry Artyukhov, together with local blogger Dmitry Zhdan, visited the Polyarnaya agricultural farm, where they grow fresh vegetables and prepare meat semi-finished products. The farm appeared in Novy Urengoy in the fall of 2021, its owner, businessman Mikhail Russu, is ready to enter the markets not only for city residents, but also for other settlements of Yamal. A businessman needs district support for his business. The governor instructed the relevant unit to work on this issue.
“Ahead – one and a half thousand kilometers. I will visit 13 settlements, not only cities but also villages. Let’s see how the construction and road works are going. I will hold meetings with residents in each city. The travel program is on the air, I will build it according to your wishes – there are already almost 500 of them, ”the governor addressed the residents on the Telegram channel.
