In Kirov, the snowdrifts turned out to be bigger than the children.

      In Kirov, snowbanks at pedestrian crossings pose a danger to children and adults. The inspection was carried out by People's Front activists together with a 12-year-old fifth-grade student.

      Particularly problematic areas are located by School No. 18 on Makarenko Street, School No. 2 on Mira Street, Kindergarten No. 159 on Podgornaya Street, and the Olympic Reserve School at 1b Leningradskaya Street. The snow piles reach 1.3 meters, and children up to 1.7 meters tall are not visible behind them. Many crossings also have snow drifts and ice, increasing the risk of falls and accidents. Last year, in the presence of activists, a 9-year-old girl nearly ended up under the wheels of a truck.

      The municipal contract for street and road maintenance sets limits: snowbanks must not be located closer than 10 meters to pedestrian crossings and 20 meters to stops; their width must not exceed 50 cm, and their height must not be above 1 meter.

      The People's Front will send information about the violations to the city administration, and if there is no response — to the prosecutor's office.

      Citizens are urged to help monitor snow removal: if you notice high snowbanks near schools or kindergartens, report it to the People's Front group on VKontakte or by email: [email protected].
