A little about the city of St. Petersburg

In the city of St. Petersburg, the current population density is 3814.64 people. The city of St. Petersburg is one of the cities of Russia Russia St. Petersburg belongs to the Subject of the Federation St. Petersburg. After many years of searching, scientists discovered that the city of St. Petersburg was called before 1914 - St. Petersburg until 1924 - Petrograddo 1991 - Leningrad City of St. Petersburg with an area of ​​1403 km².

St. PETERSBURG, December 26 – RIA Novosti, Anton Khlyshchenko. The first paid parking zone in the center of St. Petersburg may appear in the area south of the Mariinsky Theater, bounded by the Neva, Kryukov Canal, Fontanka and Lermontovsky Prospekt, Governor Georgy Poltavchenko said in an interview with leading news agencies.

“Several territories are being discussed as a pilot zone. One of the options is south of the Mariinsky Theater, between the Neva, Kryukov Canal, Fontanka embankment and Lermontovsky Prospekt,” he said.

According to him, the estimated number of parking spaces is about 21,600. The basic tariff is expected to be 50 rubles per hour. The preliminary volume of investment is 2.2 billion rubles, including 220 million from the city budget.

In addition, the governor noted, a decision on the operator of paid parking has not yet been made, consultations are ongoing. “There are proposals from private companies, there is an option to create a state government institution. But first we need to finally agree on everything with the World Bank,” he added.

Earlier, the city government announced plans to create 65 thousand parking spaces in the city center. It is planned that the project will be implemented within two years, investments are estimated at 4.9 billion rubles. Parking occupancy will be 65%, the cost will depend on the time of day and zone, with the basic level of payment being 50 rubles per hour.

To implement the project, a competition will be announced to select a private investor. Paid parking spaces are expected to be created in the Central, Admiralteysky, Vasileostrovsky and Petrogradsky districts. The parking control center will regulate the system.

…Lately I constantly hear from so many different people that one of the main motivators for going to the theater, concert or circus is the availability of parking spaces.

The demotivator is their absence. It’s not even a matter of paid parking (although this takes a significant toll on the wallet), but simply the lack of places as such.

And, excuse me, all these admonitions that “Moscow is not suitable”, “go by metro/bicycle”, “take a taxi” are often unfounded. "MK" decided to look at examples of the most problematic cultural spots in the capital, around which people, arriving an hour (!), cut circles in the hope that someone will vacate the place...

Try with a small child (and going to evening ballets with children 5–10 years old is a trend now) to go to the metro at 5–6 o’clock, at peak time: they will trample you. Try to walk from Pushkinskaya to the Rachmaninov Hall of the Conservatory in a strong wind (half an hour on foot). This is no longer pleasure from the high, but some kind of masochism.

You can’t run into a taxi either: round trip, in any case, is a thousand rubles, plus an additional payment for a child seat, and so on. We don’t want to vehemently shout “beat”, “down”, “cancel”: it is clear that with the introduction of paid parking, the center (but only the center!) began to look neater and nicer. But it is impossible to completely eliminate the car as a given (although our whole life, on the contrary, is moving towards total motorization). The metro is also not rubber.

And those cultural figures to whom we contacted are advocating the introduction of evening parking at theaters with theater tickets, because nerves - where to stick the “iron horse” - are spent immeasurably, which discourages many from any desire to go anywhere...

Moscow International House of Music

He takes first place in the ranking for the lack of parking spaces - of course, he himself is not to blame for this, this is not the problem of his administration. This luxurious glass palace, which occupies an island position in the city, has three concert halls (Svetlanovsky, Kamerny, Teatralny). Their total capacity is 1700+556+524, that is, about three thousand. Imagine if even half of them arrive by car (it’s a long and uncomfortable walk from the metro - along the station and the drainage canal).

What was it like before, before Mr. Liksutov’s large-scale initiatives? Cars were shamelessly abandoned on both sides of the Kosmodamianskaya embankment - along the road and on the sidewalk. It is clear that this mess had to be somehow streamlined, civilized, but they made it simpler - parking lots on the embankment were completely eliminated.

There is only one paid parking left “from a high hotel” in front of MMDM for 200 rubles per hour. (By the way, add 4x200 = 800 rubles to the ticket price, nice, isn’t it?) But in the evening, even for this expensive parking lot there is a huge queue, or... turn around under the bridge and park your vehicle at the Bakhrushinsky Museum in the direction of Tretyakovskaya. It takes an hour just to find the place.

Which exit? Give up part of the embankment for paid parking (but only for those who have a ticket - real or electronic) - why not go for such an experiment from 17.00 to 23.00?

Tretyakov Gallery on Krymsky Val and Gorky Park

Every Saturday and Sunday, Muscovites do their favorite thing - they stand in line for an hour or two at small parking lots along the Garden Ring to touch the treasures of the State Tretyakov Gallery or take a walk in the main park (and people often take their entire family - elderly grandparents, what kind of metro to them? ?).

From personal experience I will say that I abandoned my car in the alleys between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and RIA Novosti and rode a trolleybus for three stops to Gorky Park. There is nothing to comment on here: this disease progresses year by year, stopping the entire ring (after all, even when turning onto Leninsky Prospekt there is not a single place!).

There is only one way out: to build an underground or high-rise parking lot, without giving a damn about all the nagging of the defenders of the exquisite landscape (let's start with the fact that the Tretyakov building itself on Krymsky looks, by and large, terrible, so you can’t make it worse than it is).

Well, this is pure surrealism. Until recently, it was possible, even after suffering, to abandon the car on the long distance of the Garden Ring from Kutuzovsky Prospekt to Tverskaya Street. Now along the sidewalks, where there were toll “pockets” just a couple of months ago, fashionable semicircular concrete white spheres have been installed (by the way, sometimes they are not visible under the snow, and you can easily ruin a car by ripping out the bottom).

Well, yes, well, yes, the pursuit of a “European city”. A section of the road in front of the Philharmonic was completely pedestrianized, with swings for adults installed there. What's the result? And we can easily calculate the result: Hall to them. Tchaikovsky - 1500 seats, Mossovet - 1000 (894 main stage and 120 “under the roof”), Satire - under 1300, total - 4000. Half (for the sake of those very evening dresses that theater directors like to write about in dress codes) will come to car, not realizing that there are NO seats AT ALL. Others, in the hope that someone will leave, stand at the emergency lights at rare paid “pockets” for an hour.

How did it work out for me? I noticed a left parking attendant signaling at the fence of the Mossovet Theater. Time passes, general secretaries and presidents change, and leftist parking attendants (like resellers at the Bolshoi Theater) bloom and smell. I lower the window.

Where are you going?
- Tchaikovsky Hall.
- 500 rubles.
- Expensive, of course, but there is no other option. And where?
- I'll radio over and they'll meet you. There's a guy standing at the turn around the Philharmonic. He will show.
- Will this be legal parking?
- Illegal. Semi-legal. At the Ministry of Economic Development, opposite Beijing. But tow trucks don’t take people away from there. And we keep all the places for our own. You give the money on the site itself. But maybe you can give me a hundred personally?
- What are you talking about, this is all so absurd...

I go from one guy to another, from another to a third. They guide me by radio. At the Ministry of Economic Development they park in the vacant space. I give you 500 rubles.

Are you sure the “green crocodiles” won’t take you away from here?
- Exactly, exactly, they know.
- In the know or in the share?

What is the moral... The moral is that we need to build an underground parking lot, and not advise 4,000 people to come on bicycles in low necklines.

Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Theater

Again, quite recently, two one-way lanes near the theater - Kozitsky and Petrovsky - were still suitable for parking if you arrived an hour (!) before the performance. Now the number of places there has been reduced, there are no alternatives.

There was also a paid parking lot directly under the theater, but “for technical reasons, as of November 23,” it stopped working, as reported on the official website... But it was there at the evening ballets that children crawled in beautiful dresses. And where are we going with them? I personally had to leave my car at the Ulitsa 1905 metro station and take the subway for two stops.

Main theater and concert cluster:

Theater "At the Nikitsky Gate" / Moscow Conservatory (three halls) / Theater named after. Mayakovsky/Helikon Opera

What has been done over the past year: paid parking on Nikitsky Boulevard has been eliminated, the street on Bolshaya Nikitskaya has been expanded, now there are only two rows and parking is only for disabled people, where a motorist without a disabled badge cannot park under the threat of a large fine.

There are only two lanes left - Kalashny and Maly Kislovsky, where along their entire length you can still somehow find a place by cutting a circle or two. By the way, sad arithmetic again: the first hour is 80 rubles, the subsequent hours are 130. Multiply by four or five.

Another problem: the fact that there are few parking meters is not so bad (everyone has learned to pay by SMS), what’s worse is that in many places there is no sign with the parking NUMBER, and you don’t know what you’re actually paying for (on Bolshaya Nikitskaya the number The doorman of the Central House of Writers tells the guests about parking, isn’t that a joke?).

- Officials don’t understand the specifics of theater,

Artistic director of the theater “At the Nikitsky Gates” Mark Rozovsky says:

They get a lift in a car, they get out, and everything is fine with them. And the people... let the people take the metro or walk. Of course, the theater suffers from this. On the one hand, we are required to have good attendance (90–100%), on the other hand, the lack of parking discourages spectators from any desire. And not only among the spectators. How can actors and staff arrive? There is not a single parking space near us!

Yes, and paid parking is hard on your pocket, just imagine: you bought a theater ticket for yourself and your beloved friend, paid for a cup of coffee and cake, and also pay for a parking space! Going to the theater becomes an unrealistic event. So the lack of parking (including free parking) is very problematic in relation to theatrical activities.

- And how to change the situation?

At the time of the performance/concert, provide free parking spaces around the theaters. And why don’t we have underground parking like in Europe? But no, they would rather tell us: “Go to the theater by taxi.” So that the performances become inaccessible to anyone at all. It's a long walk from the Arbatskaya metro station!

Why does anyone even decide how I can come to the theater? That is, we, Muscovites, become enemies in our hometown. And many potential viewers therefore say - let’s better stay at home and watch TV.

Circus on Vernadsky, Universitet metro station

The situation is a C grade. General director Edgard Zapashny has been talking about the construction of a large parking lot near his circus for a long time, it’s time for the authorities to listen: the absolute majority go there by car, this is clear without any statistics.

Another thing is that while everyone somehow manages to stay on illegal asphalt islands between the circus and the theater. Sats, as well as along Copernicus Street. But you have to get here an hour in advance. And then, rejoicing at the successful parking, spend that hour hanging around with the children doing nothing.

Mikhail Shvydkoy Musical Theater near Filevsky Park

Let's end the review on a pleasant note: despite the relative distance from the Bagrationovskaya metro station, the theater gained extraordinary popularity in a short time - among other things, because in front of the entrance to the Palace of Culture. Gorbunova is an empty area for two hundred cars (where, however, taxi drivers have recently begun parking for themselves).

Just don’t get confused in the entrances and exits, otherwise unwary motorists who accidentally drive through the “pedestrian zone” or under a homemade “brick” will be immediately caught by the traffic police patrol.

As a finale, the opinion of the famous accordion player Aidar Gainullin, who permanently resides in Berlin, is valuable:

“I had performances at the famous Berlin Philharmonic: there you can pay for parking for an hour or for the whole day, no problem. There is enough space for everyone. There are many supermarkets with their own parking lots nearby. Artists are given free permission, because they need to unload things, suitcases, costumes, instruments...

It is clear that in Berlin everyone tries to come to the theaters by car for the simple reason that people are well and beautifully dressed, some of them are with flowers, and they don’t want to be jostling on the metro with transfers, where you quickly get tired, and you won’t be able to see any concert anymore. needed.

And reducing the number of parking spaces is not a desire for Europe, but an infringement of human rights when people are told how to behave.

The new building of the Mariinsky Theater is promised to open by May 2013. The contractors swear that this time they stand behind their words - the new stage is 86% ready, all work should be completed by the end of the year. An acoustic test will take place on December 22, and another six months are planned to eliminate deficiencies and comments from the customer. Some of the premises are already completely ready, and furniture is starting to be delivered to them.

The new building of the Mariinsky Theater is promised to open by May 2013. The contractors swear that this time they stand behind their words - the new stage is 86% ready, all work should be completed by the end of the year. An acoustic test will take place on December 22, and another six months are planned to eliminate deficiencies and comments from the customer. Some of the premises are already completely ready, and furniture is starting to be delivered to them.

The North-Western Construction Directorate, the customer of the protracted construction, organized a tour of the unfinished facility for journalists to make sure that the work was close to completion. In the foyer of the future theater, it remains to install three glass staircases, finalize the theater machinery, and complete the installation of utility networks. The large hall, designed for 2,000 people, will be completely ready by December 22, the day on which the acoustic testing is scheduled.

The entire complex of work to create this theater cost the budget 21.6 billion rubles. The allocation of 400 million is already planned for 2013, but the general contractor will receive this money within the approved budget. “They didn’t add anything more to us, not even a ruble,” representatives of the North-West Construction Directorate said with slight sadness and then cheerfully added: “But we still cost less than a new stadium!”

Let us remind you that the construction of Mariinsky 2 has been going on for almost 10 years. During this time, the project estimate increased from 9 to 21 billion rubles. From the point of view of the Accounts Chamber, which recently checked the progress of construction, the funds allocated under the federal target program “Culture of Russia” are spent extremely ineffectively. Auditors using at least 290 million rubles.

As for the financial violations that the Accounts Chamber revealed during construction, as explained by the director of the North-West Construction Directorate, Marat Oganesyan, they appeared “as a result of legal errors of the previous management.” “Now we have already returned 96 million rubles to the budget, and there are no more complaints against us,” he clarified.

The new theater is decorated on a grand scale. The foyer is finished with honey onyx paneling. The stone is specially purchased in Iran, brought to St. Petersburg, sawed into plates and polished. The total finishing area is about 4000 square meters, the height of the largest panel is 12 meters. All slabs are carefully selected according to shades. But, apparently, either the customer or the general contractor decided to save money on professional consultations - LED lamps are mounted behind the panels, which completely destroy all the honey tones of onyx.

The decoration of the auditorium uses plaster and light beech. Moreover, Marat Oganesyan emphasized, the wood for finishing does not come in boards, but is cut from a solid trunk: “This is very important for acoustics.” The future VIP box, located in the same place where the Tsarskaya is located in the Mariinsky-1, will also be trimmed with embossed leather. Above the heads of distinguished guests who decide to visit the new theater, a cloud lamp made of thousands of Swarovski crystals and suspended from the ceiling on invisible threads should flash.

But the theater management also does not intend to save on ordinary spectators and theater employees. Italian chairs will be installed in the auditorium (at least in the stalls). And the dressing rooms, the walls of which are painted a pistachio color of a slightly poisonous shade, are furnished with light gray furniture, although made in St. Petersburg, but quite elegant, and hung with lamps with the inscription hand-made.

As for the external appearance of the building, even its builders do not express admiration. “Diamond (the Canadian architectural bureau that completed the final design of the Mariinsky 2 - Ed.) did everything to correct the mistakes of Dominique Perrault,” Oganesyan shrugged. “As for architecture, everyone has their own taste, and I don’t presume to judge.” The customer’s intonations were very far from even approving.

The artistic director of the Mariinsky Theater Valery Gergiev admitted to journalists that a year ago he was close to despair. “I realized that the second stage may not appear in 2013, as promised, but in 2016 or even 2020, so I took some steps,” he said. In particular, as it turned out, not without his persistent recommendations, Oganesyan, who already had experience in reconstructing the Bolshoi Theater, was invited to head the customer company, and the general contractor at the site was the Metrostroy company (Vadim Alexandrov, its director, like Gergiev, is a member of the Club of Honorary St. Petersburgers ).

A guest from Moscow, head of the investment policy department of the Ministry of Culture, Grigory Pirumov, who was present at the inspection of Mariinsky-2, pleased journalists with the message that the reconstruction of the first stage of the Mariinsky Theater was next in line. “Not right away, of course, but in two or three years, when the theater is fully accustomed to the new building,” he clarified.

In the near future, the Ministry of Culture intends to begin reconstruction of the Conservatory building - a preliminary estimate for 2.8 billion rubles has already been drawn up. “This money is clearly not enough, but for now we can only talk about this amount,” explained Pirumov. In the very near future, the project will be sent to Glavgosexpertiza, and work is planned to begin by the third quarter of 2013. The same North-Western Construction Directorate will be the customer for this project.

As part of the reconstruction of the Conservatory, another city project should be implemented - the creation of a parking lot for the Mariinsky Theater. Pre-design work has now been completed to create a parking space for 700 cars under Teatralnaya Square. The question of financing remains open. “The city should allocate us a plot of land, but we should probably build it on the basis of a public-private partnership,” said Oganesyan and explained that he considers it wrong to put such a burden on the budget.

Another idea is being discussed in the city government - to turn Theater Square into a pedestrian zone. In the meantime, part of Dekabristov Street should become pedestrian - the strip in front of the facade of the Mariinsky-2. “So that those leaving the theater do not fall onto the roadway,” explained the North-Western Directorate.

As Fontanka has already written, the new Mariinsky Theater will open for viewers with a gala concert, during which it will be possible to watch the leading singers, ballerinas, orchestra and choir of the theater. Then the project will begin to work as usual: the most technically complex performances, the installation of sets for which takes two or even three days - “Tristan and Isolde”, “War and Peace”, “The Ring of the Nibelungs” will be transferred to the second stage. But the costs for the new building will not end there.

Maintenance of the new theater, judging by the words of the theater's artistic director Valery Gergiev, will not be cheap - 1 billion rubles a year. “The institution’s budget should increase by 30 - 35% next year. Now these issues are being coordinated at the level of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Finance,” he said.
