Residents of Tyumen continue to complain about ice in the city. We published news on this topic yesterday. Our readers commented and shared where it is difficult to walk. According to their responses, it is slippery in various parts of Tyumen — both in residential areas and in the center. We are publishing the opinions of residents and locations in the city where it is dangerous to walk.
«Near the »Central Market« bus stop, it»s frightening to cross — there are waves of ice on the roadway.«
«It»s very slippery on Melnikayte Street. I was going to the MTS store. I slipped twice, even though I was walking slowly and with small steps. The asphalt is on a slope, everything is just polished. There are some kind of slides at the crossings, nothing has been cleaned. Is anyone responsible for these areas?«
«Ordzhonikidze Street from Republik towards Volodarsky — a real skating rink, it»s scary to walk.«
«It»s very slippery to walk. Near the 17th clinic on Montazhnikov Street, it«s impossible to walk.»
«The entire Vostochny district is a continuous skating rink.»
«Look at what»s happening on Melnichnaya Street. On Kotovskogo, near house No. 4, the sidewalks will soon be higher than the roofs. Melnichnaya Street is one continuous skating rink, both sidewalks and roadway. It«s impossible to walk.»
«And also ice on Melnikayte, Shirotnaya, Gnarovskaya. Yes, in many places, not only in the center.»
«The streets are terribly slippery, especially at pedestrian crossings. The snow is poorly cleared, the ice isn»t broken up (what is the «ice breaker» for then?), and the pedestrian crossing turns into a real skating rink, you slide down when descending. I almost fell several times on the roadway, especially on Shirotnaya Street.«
«I took a hard fall on Republik Street today.»
«I almost went under a bus at the »Molodogvardeytsev« stop. I slipped, grabbed the bus door. It»s slippery near the curb.«
«Yesterday we were walking from the clinic on Permyakova, 75. We were descending on the sidewalk to cross the road. There»s a terribly steep ice slide right onto the roadway. I fell flat on my back and hit my head hard on the ice. Yesterday and today I«ve been terribly nauseous. Hellish headaches and my entire back is bruised. For a moment — I have to work. I don»t remember such a mess in the city before. Near the stops, everywhere is a skating rink. A disgrace to the services responsible for road cleaning.«
«My husband fell on Maxim Gorky Street and broke his leg.»
«And at the entrances to stores — who should break up this ice? To the »Zhivika« pharmacy and the »Magnit« opposite »Vostok«, you simply can»t approach. Old ladies are falling one after another.«
«On Yamskaya Street, near the House of Defense, you might as well put on skates. I was walking very carefully, but still fell. Thanks to a young man who helped me up.»
«At the »Polevaya« stop, my granddaughter and I fell under a bus. At »Tsentralnaya«, my husband and I fell in turn; he damaged his shoulder, and I my knee. It»s very slippery.«
«Tyumensky-1, Bogdanovicha, Karnatsevicha, Goltcova — impossible to walk — a continuous skating rink. Walking from work, I helped a woman get up, fell on my back. This year the roads are simply terribly cleaned, and no one pays attention to the sidewalks at all, you might as well fly.»
«I fell at the stop opposite the traumatology department. Under a minibus. The pain is wild, but I didn»t break anything. Got away with bruises.«
«Mys. Also terribly slippery on sidewalks and public transport stops.»
«Yesterday I walked from the »Goodwin« shopping center to Profsoyuznaya along Sovetskaya on the »sidewalk«, so to speak, which is constantly in excavation mode. Absolute ice, several times I balanced with a bag of groceries. And what about the vulnerable group — the elderly, pregnant women. Is there anywhere to turn to at all? Let them sprinkle reagents, sand, anything.»
«My daughter the day before yesterday slipped on Dzerzhinsky Street, fell — a broken arm, sick leave. Who will compensate?»
In January, there were several days when Tyumen«s elementary school students did not go to school. But older children studied in person. Which parents were not happy about. Tyumen residents even complained to Yekaterina Mizulina about, in their opinion, unfair »aktirovki« (school closures due to weather).
