He stressed that St. Petersburg needs creative cultural spaces and new parks in central areas, reports RIA Novosti.
“As it will be called - the citizens will determine, and its composition will also be determined later,” said Beglov.
According to him, the Palace of Dance of the People's Artist of Russia, choreographer Boris Eifman is planned to be included in the created cultural and entertainment zone.
“There is also the Eifman Theater, parking for one and a half thousand places and a pedestrian crossing that will connect the art park with Mytninskaya Embankment. This will create a pedestrian zone from the art park to the Peter and Paul Fortress, ”he explained.
Earlier, the Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, during his visit to St. Petersburg, supported the idea of arranging such a park zone.
Responding to questions from journalists, the head of state suggested that the park would be even “slightly better” than Zaryadye in Moscow.
