Simferopol cafes are again encroaching on the pedestrian zone
The owners of a cafe in the center of Simferopol decided at the beginning of summer not to install shalmans blocking the passage in the pedestrian zone, but to “simply” clutter it with awnings and tables.

Three establishments on Pushkin Street have so far used this method. One of them was grilling shish kebab on Saturday evening, placing smoking barbecues a couple of tens of meters from the Cross (the intersection of Pushkin and Karl Marx streets). It is unclear what the cafe owners will do when the thirty-five degree heat of July-August arrives.
Let us recall that last summer the Crimean authorities fought with varying success against a couple of dozen illegally installed cafe pavilions in the pedestrian zone. Some of them were dismantled at the height of summer, others, for unknown reasons, worked until the first cold weather. The demolition of each shalman was accompanied by a propaganda fuss from the mayor's office, but some time later the cafes again piled up their booths in their original places.
Thank you!
