At an informational meeting on July 15, local residents also asked the head of Leninsky District, Yulia Mishchuk, when the staircase would be restored. One resident noted that the staircase is currently «in an appalling condition».

Yulia Mishchuk replied that the district administration is requesting funds for a quick repair of the staircase, but plans a major overhaul in the future. The authorities have proposed that two developers invest in the repair. Mishchuk did not specify whether any of the companies were interested.
