The square on 68 Bucharest street, in front of the Directorate of Culture headquarters, has a new look. Several benches and trash bins have been installed, part of the “68 București – Cultural square” Project, which has been proposed for funding from the 2017 Civil Budget.
Head of the Management and Sanitation Section of the Residential-Communal and Management Directorate Vasile Efros told IPN that, besides street furniture, barriers were installed to obstruct vehicle access to the area.
The project is estimated at around 30 thousand lei.
Vasile Efros mentioned that among the projects proposed for financing from the Civil Budget are several proposals to equip playgrounds in residential block yards, and others.
Civil budgeting is a mechanism instituted by the Chișinău City Hall, and grants funding for initiatives submitted by citizens. The projects are selected by voting online or within the City Hall. In 2018, the Chișinău municipal budget allotted three million lei for the implementation of civil budgets.
