YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 5, NOYAN TAPAN. The municipality of Yerevan envisages to build underground car parking stations in the capital in 2008-2011. According to the information provided by Samvel Danielian, the Chief Architect of Yerevan, at the press conference held on February 4, the municipality has made such a decision taking into consideration the overcharge of the streets of the capital, as well as the fact that streets are used as car parking stations. In the words of Samvel Danielian, it is envisaged to build car parking stations in the underground sections of the Square of France, in the neighborhood of the municipality, the Shahumian square, the "Republican" sports ground, and the Ararat tennis club, which is located in the vicinity of the Yerevan State University. According to Samvel Danielian, it is not excluded that a car parking station will also be built in the underground section of the Republican square. In his words, in case of the implementation of this plan, car parking stations for general use envisaged for 10000 cars will be located in the center of the capital. In addition to this, it is also envisaged to build car parking stations in yards, after which the garages situated there will be pulled down. Samvel Danielian made assertions that after the implementation of the plan the green spaces of Yerevan will increase by 30%.
