At least two more residential cooperative houses are planned to be commissioned this year (along the streets of Industrialnaya and Kommunisticheskaya). Orphans were given 18 comfortable apartments in the reporting year. Increased attention has been paid, but is still required, to the roads. An interesting aspect: lighting of roads with transit traffic went to almost 27% of the electricity consumed by street lighting fixtures in 2020. The collector was repaired on a spot. The Head of the city recalled numerous emergencies, due to which sewage was directed into the river, which is unacceptable.

The meeting participants, having listened to the report, addressed Roman Ivanchenko questions related to the renovation of the city's elevator facilities, the development of the homeowner association network, the improvement of parking lots and sidewalks. The President during the discussion instructed to make a sidewalk lane along Pionerskaya Street: there are numerous appeals from citizens about this. Speaking about the repair of the collector, Vadim Krasnoselsky noted that dumping waste into the river is unacceptable: an untimely solution of the communal problem threatens an environmental catastrophe, the President emphasized. The President paid special attention to determining the source of financing for the repair of roads, based on their ownership. The President is sure that some of the Bendery roads, classified as municipal ones, are of republican importance, which means they should be maintained and repaired at the state, not the city's expense. As an example: two transport interchanges - overpasses along Kotovskogo street and in the area of the Floare factory. Vadim Krasnoselsky will visit these facilities today during an offsite meeting with the Head of State Administration of Bendery. There are also plans to inspect the central part of the city, squares, a memorial and historical complex. All these are objects included in the Capital Investment Fund 2021.
The work of the Bendery administration at the end of 2020 was recognized by the President as satisfactory.
