On December 30, the Mayor of Sibiu Astrid Fodor signed the contract for the execution of works on Calea Dumbrăvii, the section between Mihai Viteazu Boulevard and Ludoș Street which will eventually turn out to be the city’s first smart street. The agreement was signed with the company SC Terra Building SRL Sibiu, represented by Bacilă Stefan Mihai, general manager, which won the contract following a procurement procedure.
The value of the contract is 18.7 million lei and the project will be completed within 14 months of March 2021.
The project involves several key pieces of upgrades and developments, including:
Furthermore, along this route, electric buses will also be introduced, which will be purchased through another project carried out by Sibiu City Hall in partnership with the Ministry of Development, Public Works and Administration. In this way, the City of Sibiu continues the concrete measures to reduce the harmful emissions generated by car traffic.
The sidewalks will be bordered by green areas: approximately 10,000 square meters of lawn and shrubs and over 200 trees. Garbage bins and benches will be placed on both sidewalks, two of which are smart.
Thanks to this project Sibiu is well on its way to tackling not only problems of mobility but also of the environment and overall health of the city.
