Active preparations for the resort season are underway in Odessa, according to the city’s military administration.
“The top priority is the safety of vacationers. Therefore, before the start of the season, eight additional mobile shelters will be installed along the coast at the city’s expense. They will be located along the stretch from Langeron Beach to the 16th station of the Great Fountain. The total number of functional shelters along the coast will increase to 19,” reads a statement on the CMA’s Telegram channel.
According to the information, this year there are plans to increase the number of public beaches to six, and two inclusive beaches will be operational. As agreed with the leaseholders, infrastructure for people with disabilities will be installed at the city’s other beaches.
Currently, tenants and the relevant municipal enterprise are carrying out a range of preparatory work: setting up lifeguard stations, installing buoys, conducting underwater surveys of the seabed, and testing alarm systems.
Reportedly, a joint commission of the city council and the Regional State Administration has been established to assess the readiness of the coastline; the decision to partially open the beaches will be made solely based on the results of its work. After the commission’s inspection and the signing of the inspection reports confirming the beaches’ compliance with requirements, the final list of beach areas open to visitors will be published.
