“Are people supposed to ride horses?”: Residents of Korabelnyi complain about a huge “lake” near the markets and hospital

A resident of Mykolaiv’s Korabelnyi district, Nataliia Kravchenko, filed a complaint with the Contact Center at the Mykolaiv City Council about the condition of the area near the lake on Oleh Kravets Street (formerly Henerala Popelia Street). She is outraged that in the central part of the district, where markets, supermarkets, a hospital, and a kindergarten are located, people have to make their way through a troublesome stretch that, she says, resembles a lake. In her appeal, Nataliia urged the Korabelnyi district administration to pay particular attention to this part of the city and urgently resolve the problem.

“It’s the 21st century, yet people living in a city have to travel on horseback? Korabelnyi district administration, pay attention specifically to the center, where the markets, supermarkets, hospital, and kindergarten are located, and urgently do something about this lake on Oleh Kravets Street (Henerala Popelia Street),” the resident wrote.

The post prompted a reaction from other social media users. In the comments, people mentioned other problem spots in Mykolaiv where getting around after rain becomes a real ordeal.

In particular, Valentyna Hrytsenko made an emotional appeal to the mayor:

“SHAME ON YOU, Senkevych! Where are Denmark’s billions?”

Nadiia Kuzmina noted that the same situation exists outside Korabelnyi:

“It’s muddy in Varvarivka after the rain, too.”

Olha Kapranova put it even more briefly:

“It’s a mess like this all over Mykolaiv.”

Oksana Kravchenko recalled filing her own appeal about another part of the city:

“When I went to Vodopii, I also wrote asking them to send at least some machinery. Nobody cares.”

In response to the discussion, Nataliia Kravchenko also mentioned the problems in Balabanivka:

“Balabanivka is the place in Mykolaiv that our authorities leave unnoticed: there are no roads, no water distribution points, and public transport is a complete disaster.”

Thus, the discussion went beyond a single problem area: residents highlighted difficulties with roads, public amenities, and transport links in various neighborhoods across the city. The rapid response service at the Contact Center registered the complaint under number 71706. It is not yet known whether the Korabelnyi district administration will respond to the complaint about the area on Oleh Kravets Street or take steps to address the problem.
