“We have started rehabilitation works in Pushkin Square. The existing space was in very bad condition. We want to renovate the square completely – the tiles will be completely changed, as well as planting patterns will be increased as much as possible, trees and plants will be planted, and the lighting system will be changed. These old, classic lamps are very much in line with the existing space; however, they need to be rehabilitated and updated. The area will be completely tidied up. Next year we plan to fully rehabilitate Rustaveli Avenue with its underground communications, and since Pushkin Square is one of the central spaces on Freedom Square, it will also be completely renovated and arranged,” said Kakha Kaladze.
