Petar Kuleski: With the new electric buses, we will cover 90% of the city routes in Pazardzhik

Mr. Kuleski, the mayor of Pazardzhik, recently participated in the program "Maritsa Podcast" after taking office. He shared that more than two years after the start of his term, active efforts are underway to change and improve the city.

He emphasized that every action in the Municipality aims to improve communication with citizens and to provide better services. Kuleski noted that one of the most symbolic initiatives is the restoration of the facade of the Youth Center, which is also a sign of returning respect for cultural and historical heritage.

Among the important projects he mentioned is the construction of a new gymnasium at Primary School "Prof. Ivan Batrakliev". Funding for it was secured in 2021, but after misappropriation, it was reimbursed.

The mayor also highlighted the reform in waste collection. After three months in office, the Municipality established its own enterprise, "Cleanliness," which will effectively manage the cleaning services. By August, new containers and modern cleaning equipment will be introduced.

Regarding the environmental program, Kuleski spoke about the large-scale initiative to replace heating devices, aimed at reducing fine particulate matter in the air. It is expected that by 2029, up to 9000 air conditioners and several hundred heat pumps will be replaced as part of efforts for cleaner air.

Not least, he congratulated the successful implementation of the urban transport project with 6 electric buses, which will cover around 90% of the city routes. The project was financed through a European program.

As an important infrastructure development, progress was noted in the construction of the Western ring road, which will eliminate traffic jams and improve connections to the industrial zone, the railway station, and neighboring municipalities. The work on the project is advanced, involving regulatory procedures and preparation for implementation.

Mr. Kuleski promised that all these infrastructural projects will bring a higher quality of life to the residents of Pazardzhik and the nearby municipalities.
