Denis Pasler appreciated the new landscaped spaces of the Upper Tours

History of the city

In the Upper Tour opened a new public landscaped space, which was created by the results of the All-Russian competition of the best projects to create a comfortable urban environment in the framework of the national project “Infrastructure for life”. The walking route with eight themed areas was appreciated by the Governor of the Sverdlovsk region Denis Pasler.

An interesting project has been implemented in the city center – a walking route with a length of more than 2.5 kilometers, and the total area of improvement exceeds 23 thousand square meters. The uniqueness of the project lies in its local identity. Eight thematic platforms tell about the history of the city on the Tour, its legends, Denis Pasler said.

In particular, there is a music venue dedicated to the “grandfather of Ural rock”, composer Alexander Pantykin. Not far from it appeared "Cosmosquare" in honor of Sverdlovsk cosmonaut Andrei Fedyaev, who graduated in the Upper Tour secondary school No. 19.

As part of the improvement, the park "Five Runners" appeared. It is dedicated to the events of 1935. Then the workers of the Verkhneturinsky plant on foot went to Moscow to prove the need for the construction of a stadium in the city. They reached the capital in 25 days, covering 2,050 kilometers. Their action gave the result – in the Upper Tour in 1937, a stadium appeared.

Also opened the historical square "First city on the Tour". It is dedicated to the inventor Alexander Trebelev, who developed the project of the underground vehicle. There is a photo zone with the symbols of the hockey club "Lightning". In a landscaped square on the street Forest appeared children's and sports grounds.

“The new landscape has already been appreciated by the citizens. Even in the evening on weekdays, it is crowded here, Denis Pasler said. Throughout the route, a barrier-free environment was created, new stop pavilions were installed, street lighting and video surveillance were installed, landscaping was performed.

The total cost of the project was more than 336 million rubles. Of these, 70.9 million was allocated under a federal grant.

Another point of attraction in the Upper Tour was the stele dedicated to the well "Ural superdeep". Denis Pasler stressed that the city is developing, including thanks to the Volkovsky GOK and residents who love the city, know its unique history.

“The stele, which was installed at the entrance to the city, recalls the research work on the study of the Earth – the well “Ural superdeep”, – said the head of the region. Its drilling barrel is 6,015 meters, which is four times more than our record-holding mine, Cheremukhovskaya-Glubokaya.

3.9 thousand territories

Earlier, the Upper Tour together with Kamensk-Ural, Zarechny and Sukhim Log was among the winners of the XI All-Russian competition of the best projects to create a comfortable urban environment, which is held on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Cities will receive funds for the implementation of their projects in 2027-2028.

In the Upper Tour, it is planned to improve the “Educational Quarter”, which includes the streets of Ikanin, Grobov and Volodarsky. Pedestrian areas and lighting will be updated. The area will be greened. There will be decorated recreation areas and art objects, an amphitheater. Design code of facades of buildings has already been developed.
