NEW 'THEMATIC' SEWER MANHOLES MAY APPEAR ON YEREVAN STREETS
YEREVAN, February 4. / ARKA /. New 'thematic' sewer manholes may appear
on the streets of Yerevan, Yerevan Productions company's development
director Gayane Manukyan said today.
Last April this company unveiled a project called "1000 and one sewer
manholes.' The idea is to install new sewer manholes with unique
thematic designs.
Speaking at a news conference she said 26 sewer manholes can be
installed in the main Republican Square in downtown Yerevan. She said
designers suggested that manholes be decorated as ancient Armenian
coins. Such manholes could be installed in front of Converse Bank,
located in the main square.
"We offer two solutions: the first is to paint the already installed
sewer manholes in special colors and the second is to manufacture
new iron manholes," Manukyan said.
She said decorated sewer manholes can be found in many countries,
where they became ' a perfect complement of urban environment.'
She also said there is a proposal to create special designs for
electricity and water distributors, telecommunications and other
companies.
She said this project is still in the initial stage of discussion,
although it was already approved by the municipality. She said the
project can not be started due to lack of financing.
The "1000 and one sewer manholes' is developed as part of a larger
project known as 'Yerevan 2.0." Its goal is to change Yerevan and show
the difference between what is there today and what should be there.-0-
