Concept for the development of tourist routes “Walks along Tarusa”

Tarusa Masterplan

Objects under development

The entrance to the city requires improvement, as it is the first thing a person sees when approaching Tarusa. It is important to organize a parking place for tourist buses and private vehicles in order to relieve the pressure on the historical center of the city. You can leave your car here and follow the signs to the beginning of the route.

Widening of Dekabristov Street in front of Gourmet Café

Scheme of transport organization of the territory

Organization of a continuous route along the embankment

The waterfront is a place where people come together. A place where all routes descend, a place with amazing views. It should be improved in the first place.

Organization of wooden flooring

Separation of pedestrian and automobile flows due to the expansion of Dekabristov Street. Development of the end point of the promenade along the embankment.

Organization of a pedestrian path bypassing the terrace of Café Oka

For continuity of routes, we propose to remove the fences restricting the memorial and thus connect the pedestrian breaks of the embankment. Separation of pedestrian and car flows to prevent cars from entering the main square. The descent to the river next to the Stela is closed to car traffic, thus preserving the unique landscape of the water protection zone.

Improvement of the territory near the “Sail” cafe

• The pedestrian zone is separated from the automobile zone by planting low shrubs
• A pedestrian sidewalk is being improved behind Cafe Parus on Dekabristov Street by cutting down spontaneous plantings and widening the road
• Possible further works - arrangement of a terraced slope in front of Cafe “Oka”.

Reorganization of Dekabristov Street profile with separation of transport and pedestrian zone:

Continuity of the pedestrian route along the embankment at the “Sail” cafe is restored by reorganizing the profile of Dekabristov Street with the separation of transport and pedestrian zone.

Gully improvement

Improvement at Marina Tsvetaeva's stone

• Construction of wooden pedestrian bridges
• Organization of paths, stairs, lighting
• Reinforcement of slopes with shrubbery

The organization of paths, stairs and bridges over ravines is proposed to create a coherent and comfortable pedestrian route.

In 2017, MARSH Labs and volunteers built a staircase from Borisov-Musatov's grave to the spring next to the stone; the next step is the arrangement of the spring, path and fences.

Triangulation sign TARUSA.
54o43'27'' N. lat. 37o10'21'' E.
Steel, concrete blocks, plastic matte, focal point protector, solar panel

On the hillock next to the old burial mound a model of the settlement is installed. A small wooden mastaba, on which the model of the old settlement is almost vertically located, will tell about the historical settlement of Tarusa.

Triangular sign “Tarusa” on the site of the former settlement. Layout of the settlement

Stela made of glued wooden panel with illumination, USB-charging and solar panel. Text about the given place on a steel plate - engraving or etching. It is important that the design of the signs is uniform for the city.
