History
The modern layout of the street was formed after the approval in 1781 of Catherine II of the Vologda General Plan . The street has become the western ray of the three, which fan-shapedly diverged from the Archbishop's court , and its direction is dictated by the location of the 16th century canal and fortress walls of the Vologda Kremlin (the modern stretch from the Vologda river to the Oktyabrskaya street ) [1] . Later, on the site of the ditches filled up along Peterburgskaya Street in 1823, a boulevard was laid from the Bishops' Garden to Oktyabrskaya Street [2] . The southern boundary of Petersburg Street at the end of the 19th – beginning of the 20th century was the Arkhangelsk railway line. The renaming of the street was connected with the change of the names of St. Petersburg: in 1914 Petersburg Street was renamed Petrogradskaya, and in 1925 - Leningradskaya.
The section of the street behind the railway line began to form in the middle of the 20th century in connection with the construction of the October settlement . Further development of the street as one of the main thoroughfares of the city was connected with the opening in 1974 of the Leningradsky bridge across the railway tracks and the development of GPZ-23 housing estates. Leningradskaya Street, on the section from Oktyabrskaya Street to Okruzhnoye Highway, was entirely built in 1975 [3] . In 1977, the first trolleybus line in Vologda was opened on Leningradskaya Street, and a trolleybus depot was built at the end of the street.
