In Yaroslavl, the transformation of the city center continues. The large-scale renovation to create a unified pedestrian zone has affected Nakhimson Street, Deputatskaya Street, Kirova Street, Maksimova Street, and Andropova Street. The areas where cars previously drove will turn into a themed pedestrian quarter.

A fountain featuring ballerinas will be a key attraction, with their designs still to be refined.

Earlier, we showed what the cinematic Nakhimson Street will look like: with a popcorn fountain, bronze, and statues of movie characters. In this overview, we invite you to look at design ideas from the Project Institute of Yaroslavl Oblast for Deputatskaya Street. According to the concept, it will be theatrical — this will be reflected in its furnishings.

Design ideas include a GoboPro LED projector and a small theater house.
