It is possible that lawns and beds will appear in the middle of Old Arbat and illumination will be changed: lanterns will begin to remind the gas.

 

It is also known that son of Michael Posohin - architecture who created Kalininsky prospect - is working on reconstruction of New Arbat. A new trade center for 340 thousand square meters will be build on a New Arbat.
