Polyustrovsky Avenue

Until the beginning of the 20th century, it served as the northern border of the city. The section of the avenue from the extension of the line of Litovskaya Street to the 1st Murinsky Avenue is the border between the Vyborg (even side) and Kalininsky (odd side) districts of the city.

The neighborhood of the avenue, with the exception of Kalinin Square itself, is an unaesthetic industrial zone, the nature of which began to change at the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries: high-tech car dealerships and new parking lots appeared, reconstruction of the PTU-46 building at LOMO under the city training center and energy complex is underway (updating the buildings and equipment of the Volkhov-Severnaya electrical substation and reconstruction of the buildings of the Electroceramics holding with adaptation to the needs of the Smolny Institute of the Russian Academy of Education). Industrial buildings are being converted to business centers and equipped with light-washable modern hinged facades. An ambiguous reaction of residents and defenders of the old architecture was caused by reports of the upcoming reconstruction or demolition of five-story houses that were not well - equipped but greened during the period of constructivism in the quarter between Kondratyevsky and Polyustrovsky Avenues, ul. Zhukov and Chichurinsky Lane ^[1] . It is planned and began to carry out the development of the district road network (see below).

According to the official publication of the city government of the Petersburg Diary , dated September 27, 2012, the V International Innovation Forum held in Harbor showed “one of the most interesting projects approved by the governor - the construction of a quarter with high energy efficiency and new security facilities at Polyustrovsky pr ., 36 ” ^[2] . An unsightly sight for 2012 was represented by the abandoned frame of the unfinished LOMO workshop and a number of undeveloped territories behind dilapidated fences.

The bright red main building of the substation is considered a monument of industrial architecture. It was built as part of the plan electrification of Russia by GOELRO in the 1920s for the reception, transformation and distribution of electricity from the Volkhov hydroelectric power station together with the Lenenergo Transformer Plant ^[4] and a plant for the production of ceramic insulators for electric lines.

In the first decade of the 21st century, as part of the city program for the elimination of unused city railroad crossings and in connection with the plans for the development of the Electroceramics holding, the line of the freight railway that went to the factory of electric insulators from the branch parallel to Chichurinsky Lane from Zhukova Street and Chugunnaya Street from St. Station was eliminated -Petersburg-Finnish-Commodity.

In the summer and autumn of 2012, it was repaired, equipped with traffic lights and planned to open for many years blocked and closed exit to the avenue from Chugunnaya street; a traffic light post was installed and prepared for commissioning at the exit to the avenue with Lithuanian and Mendeleev streets. These works reflected the trend of increasing traffic flow along the avenue and adjacent streets. The section of the avenue, according to media reports, should be part of the Northern take-off highway No. 7 ^[11] . Work was reported on punching a continuation parallel to Zhukov Street Avenue to Chugunnaya Street and actually opening a driveway along it, as well as punching Chugunnaya Street to Polyustrovsky Avenue ^{[12] [13]} . One can, however, think that it is in fact a matter of restoring a previously existing driveway, at least along Chugunnaya Street: in the Register of names of objects of the urban environment of St. Petersburg from 2011 it is indicated that Chugunnaya street runs from Lithuanian Street to Polyustrovsky Prospekt ^{[14 ]} , and st. Zhukova passes from Piskaryovsky Avenue beyond Chichurinsky Lane, that is, almost to Chugunnaya Street.
