Project “Our Streets”

From the Civic Integration Camp Marneuli School #6 created “Our streets” project.  Marneuli School # 6 was one of eight schools at the camp, four were Georgian and four were Azerbaijani . The students believed one of the biggest problems their community was there was no proper building identification signs. A hundred and thirty-five residential and commercial dwellings for the last ten years have not been properly marked. These dwellings are on Rustaveli Street.  There have been incidents in the past when emergency services had trouble identifying locations.

The students went to Marneuli municipalities’ and discussed this issue. The government appreciated the proposed project and decided to help. Labor (placement of signs) was provided by the municipality. The Center of Infrastructure and Architecture designed the signs. A grant financed the signs.

On March 31, 2014 signs were installer on all dwellings. Now, emergency services, citizens, and tourist will have an easier time when trying to identify a location.
