According to the Public Relations and International Affairs Department of Arak Metropolitan Municipality, accessibility improvements and new curb installation are underway at the end of University Street and along the edge of Anjafi Boulevard. In this project, 820 meters of new curb installation will be carried out in the University Street area (between Azad University and Khansari Hospital) and Anjafi Boulevard. Based on the planned schedule, 600 meters of the roadside curbs on University Street will be replaced and 220 meters of the curbs on Anjafi Boulevard will be widened. This operation is being carried out with the aim of improving and resolving the infrastructural problems of the streets and based on the needs assessment of the infrastructure experts of District 1 Municipality. In recent years, waterlogging at the end of University Street had been one of the challenges in this area, and the implementation of the new project, with widened curbs and improved stormwater drainage routes, has been placed on the agenda as a preventive measure.
