Moscow authorities are planning to start building of an underground pedestrian space in 2007. This was reported by the capital's chief architect at a press-conference, where he also mentioned that analogous projects had been successfully brought to life in Montreal and some other cities.
According to the chief architect, this is going to be an alternative of the overland pedestrian paths at the Pushkinskaya Square and Manezh. The space under the Pushkinskaya Square to Manezh is going to be complexly reclaimed in order to build a trade-leisure centre and underground parking. The centre is expected to let the dwellers of the city feel comfortable in any weather.
