Let us remind you that there is only one mosque in Krasnoyarsk – on Metallurgov Avenue, 65. The public has repeatedly raised the issue that the lack of Muslim prayer facilities leads to inconvenience for all citizens and escalates the situation in society. The point is that in On the days of major holidays, it is necessary to organize schemes for transporting people, launching shuttles from intercepting parking lots, and canceling public transport stops. All this leads to serious traffic problems in an area with heavy traffic.
At the same time, Legislative Assembly deputy Elena Penzina noted that this year on Eid al-Adha at the mosque “the organization has become noticeably better.”
“Finally, order has appeared: fences and even buses have been put up, the flow of people is separated, no one is walking chaotically along the roadway anymore. Traffic police officers regulate traffic at key junctions – and it really works, because cars don’t stop due to endless traffic lights, and pedestrians calmly cross. A special plus is transport. They banned parking at the mosque, but at the same time provided a normal alternative: buses to intercept parking lots. And judging by the number of cars there, people are taking advantage of this opportunity. Plus, there are noticeably more patrols – overall there is a feeling of more control and security. And a very good solution is to move the holiday prayer to an earlier morning. By 8:30 everything was actually over, without crowds of people and overloading the city for half a day. This is not yet “excellent”, but compared to last year it is a big step forward. It is clear that they have begun to organize the event,” the parliamentarian said on her social networks.
