Today, June 5, an online meeting took place in Odesa, chaired by the Deputy Prime Minister for Ukraine's recovery, Oleksii Kuleba, and Deputy Minister Natalia Kozlovska.

Representatives from the Odesa City Council participated, including First Deputy Mayor Oleksandr Filatov and Advisor on barrier-free space Oleksii Morozov, along with heads of executive bodies and relevant departments.

During the dialogue, the parties discussed the implementation of the project «Movement Without Barriers» and the status of works on the inclusive tram route «North-South».

Participants of the online meeting emphasized technical aspects of the route's implementation, particularly regarding the marking of certain sections and an action plan.

Currently, Odesa is actively conducting the marking of the inclusive tram route «North-South». Recently, representatives from the project in Kyiv visited the city to familiarize themselves with the route plan. Following the inspection, an action plan was approved.

The project «Movement Without Barriers» is part of the National Strategy for creating a barrier-free environment in Ukraine, which Odesa is actively involved in.

The initiative for the inclusive tram route «North-South» was proposed by the Odesa City Council, approved by the Ministry of Community and Territorial Development of Ukraine, and fully aligns with the goals of the National Strategy.

The coordination of the project's implementation at the local level is carried out by the Odesa Council for Barrier-Free Environment.
