Instead of a  “modern boulevard upgrade”  the street that stretches from Bulgaria street down to the Kkare building, received the “DIY obstacle course starter pack”. The quiet street stretches forward under a cloudy sky, flanked by mid-rise buildings and a few ambitious construction projects still deciding what they want to be when they grow up. Down the center, a line of freshly planted wooden poles stand at attention like they’re auditioning for an art installation titled “We Promise This Will Become a Road Divider Soon.” A white van cruises past as if cautiously testing whether the street is actually finished or just emotionally committed. On the side, pedestrians navigate the uneven edges of progress, stepping around dust, rubble, and the general chaos of “work in progress” energy. It’s part city, part construction site, and part guessing game, where the only certainty is that someone, somewhere, is definitely still working on it.
