On the initiative of Vilnius City Municipality, the green space between S. Žukauskas and Minties Streets in Žirmūnai District is to be landscaped. The square between the apartment blocks and the educational institutions will be landscaped and adapted for the recreation of the residents, and sports fields will be built within the boundaries of the Joachim Lelevels Engineering Gymnasium. The design proposals for the public space are being prepared by ID Vilnius UAB. The design proposals have already been presented to the residents, but in response to the needs of the residents, the area to be landscaped has been expanded and it has been decided to install sports fields next to the Joachim Lelevels Engineering Gymnasium.
Residents are invited to participate in a public consultation on the updated design proposals. It will take place remotely on 27 February at 17:00. You can join the meeting on the Teams platform by clicking here. You can access the project proposals here.
