Motovilikha
Motovilikha - is a borough, which was established near the plant, built on the
shore of the Kama in the middle of 18 century and the developed precisely as
settlement in the plant. Perm was once a plant settlement, but closing plant in
18 more century made it necessary to search for other ways of development. Into
the composition of Perm city plant settlement became officially part of the city
in 1927. However, now Motovilikha somewhat is differed from remaining city.
In 1929 Perm' and Motovilikha connected with a tramline - the very first in the
city. Line is very important, and, furthermore, it is very interesting -
it passes through the surprising places, only on this line were preserved
the supports of overhead electric transport power line already since 1929.
It finishes in the region of plant, on the 1905 street, which is considered the
main piece in old Motovilikha. Over the long term it is intended to make a tramline
moved from the 1905 street into the residential area and change the original
historic route.
During August 2003 on the 1905 street, in that place, where
it goes over the creek iva, "unexpectedly" deteriorated, and this was forced
to begin the long ago planned reconstruction of street. Old tramline is also
rebuilt; loop is postponed in a new area.
Photos of old line on 1905 located here, the photo of the
building of new here. From the street of 1905 the streetcars go along the
street of lifanova to the Uralskaya Street:
Beginning of the Uralskaya Street. Here is still alive the old Motovilikha, but tramline practically did not change since 1929. The tram of 6th route 403+404 on the technical stoppage for one hundred is meter prior to the steep descent to the street of 1905 (05.2002). This line will also undergo reconstruction, since they will enlarge Uralskaya street (however, this will be done not very soon). Due to the driving limits of these blocks car traffic is moved along Sverdlov Street, parallel to Uralskaya.
