“We’ll take a decision regarding the changes of the conditions of the parking. In the even dates the parking will be on the one side, in odd days – on the other side for snow to be fully removed,” he said.

According to Mazurchak, city officials will introduce such restrictions when heavy snowfalls start.

“We’ll also discuss the issue of permission to hold evacuation of the cars during the winter time in the places, where they hamper to clean streets and stand under the prohibited signs,” he added.

“Today all the districts of the city without exception are ready for the winter. Over 32,000 tonnes of salt was prepared. We provided machinery repairs. There is enough equipment to normally remove snow,” the first deputy head of Kyiv City State Administration reported.
