Residents urged to cast ballots for growth initiatives by Yevgeny Grigoryev
Revised Article:
Yevgeny Grigoryev, the big cheese of Yakutsk, recently sat down with the EMERCOM crew to discuss the role of each citizen in the digital voting process for boosting public spaces within the city. Grigoryev shared the scoop about the spots that received a makeover in past years and those that are planned for an upgrade soon.
The residents of Yakutsk can cast their ballots for a staggering eight significant sites that require federal funding for future improvements. The EMERCOM and rescue workers were buzzing over the chance to choose their favorite spot for renovation.
According to Vadim Shadrin, deputy head of the Rescue Service, "Our man, the head of the city, and his team are putting in a ton of effort in this direction. Check out how Lake Sayssary, Mother's Square, and Fedot Popov Square have been revamped. We're looking forward to improvements at the Ytyk Sir Park. As the ones living here, we should all cast our votes on the Gosuslugi portal, 'cause we and our kiddos will wind up chillin' in these spots. It's critical to understand that the sites with the most votes will take the cake, so I'm urging everyone to get crackin' and vote pronto, before June 12!"
In 2026, the following sites could be part of the "Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment" project as part of the "Infrastructure for Life" national project:
- Gagarin Square;
- "Naked Hearts" Square on Taloy Lake (N. Vodyanova's platform);
- Builders' Square;
- Square of fallen soldiers from Yakutia under Rzhev;
- Warm Lake Embankment;
- White Lake Embankment;
- Shors Lake Embankment;
- Seregilekh Lake Embankment.
Residents aged 14 and up can join in the ranking vote to decide public spaces for improvement in 2026 on the Gosuslugi portal or app until June 12, 2025.

Now, you might be wondering how this whole process typically unfolds. In projects like the "Formation of a Comfortable Urban Environment," local administrations usually zero in on public spaces that need a facelift based on factors like condition, usage, and community feedback. These could range from parks and squares to sidewalks, playgrounds, and other common areas.
As part of the voting process, residents are often invited to participate online or at public meetings. To cast their votes, they would typically need to:
- Access the Official Website: Not sure where to go? Head over to the Yakutsk city administration's official website for the project!

- Feedback Mechanism: There might also be an area to provide additional feedback or suggestions for desired improvements.
