Smolny is negotiating with the World Bank about the construction of paid parking in St. Petersburg. It is necessary to develop a plan for managing parking space, figure out how best to implement the very principle of paid parking, and also create a monitoring and management system in the pilot paid zone. Such an area could be, for example, a parking lot near the Mariinsky Theater in the city center.

“Now the Ministry of Transport is implementing, together with the Global Environment Facility and the World Bank, a “Program for Improving Urban Transport Systems,” Poltavchenko said. “If you join this project, St. Petersburg, in addition to external investments, will receive technical assistance in improving the regulatory framework.” Interfax writes about this.

As a pilot zone, according to Poltavchenko, a site south of the Mariinsky Theater, between the Kryukov Canal, the Fontanka embankment and Lermontovsky Prospekt, is being discussed. About 21.6 thousand parking spaces can be created here. The basic tariff is expected to be set at 50 rubles per hour.

"Preliminary volume investments will amount to 2.2 billion rubles, including 220 million will be allocated from the city budget,” Poltavchenko said. A decision on the operator of paid parking has not yet been made, consultations are ongoing, Poltavchenko added. There are offers from private companies. But first we need to finally reach an agreement with the World Bank.

Previously Smolny announced plans to create 65 thousand parking spaces in the center of St. Petersburg. It is planned that the project can be implemented within two years, and the total investment is estimated at 4.9 billion rubles. Paid parking spaces are expected to be created in the Central, Vasileostrovsky, Admiralteysky and Petrogradsky districts.

Private parking is available nearby (reservation is not needed) and costs RUB 300 per day. Parking is subject to availability as spaces are limited. Parking, Private parking, Secured parking, Street parking,

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.

…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 (!), make 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.
