As part of the participatory budget, residents have requested more such food sharing points. We often find ourselves with excess food. Let’s do what we can not...

Despite substantial budgetary problems, Warsaw will build line 3 of the metro. This is the decision made in recent days by Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski. Line M3 will connect Praga-Południe with the city centre, and later on also with Ochota and Mokotów districts. In the first stage, to be completed in 2028, six stations will be created.

In Warsaw, where over 35,000 infants are born annually, two neonatal ambulance teams are in operation. In order to ensure safe transport for small patients, the local government authorities of Mazovia and Warsaw will finance the purchase of a new ambulance for newborns and premature babies for the capital "Meditrans".

We closed the year 2020 with 80 monuments that were renovated owing to a subsidy from the City of Warsaw. The capital allocated over PLN 8 million for this purpose. By the decision of the City Council, financial support was granted to objects entered into the register of monuments and those included in the municipal register of monuments.

We signed a contract for the exchange of approx. 40 thousand lighting fixtures throughout Warsaw. Owing to the new LED fixtures, the capital will be safer, and in times of constantly rising electricity prices, it will allow huge savings. The cost will pay off in two years owing to lower electricity bills only.

On 18 December, we celebrate the International Migrants Day established by the UN General Assembly. It is an important day for Warsaw, which is to a large extent inhabited by people with migration experience.

Soon, infrastructure adapted to zero-emission means of transport will be developed in Warsaw. The Warsaw Council has adopted a resolution on the construction of over 800 generally accessible charging points in the city.

The capital city supports talented students. As many as 115 students of secondary schools in Warsaw received SAPERE AUSO scholarships from the City of Warsaw for outstanding scientific, and creative achievements as well as social commitment.

In the fleet of the Municipal Bus Company (Miejskie Zakłady Autobusowe) we already have a hundred electric buses, and by the end of the month their number will increase to 160. Warsaw remains in the lead of European zero-emission propulsions - only Moscow and London have more electric buses in their fleets.

Warsaw commemorates Andrzej Wajda, an outstanding director, honorary citizen of the capital city, honorary doctor of the University of Warsaw (Uniwersytet Warszawski). On the fourth anniversary of his death, a commemorative plaque was displayed.

Preparations for the Warsaw Climate Panel are about to start. Its culmination points will be meetings of panelists - the voice of the residents will be expressed by 80 to 100 people picked from among all adult residents of Warsaw.

The competition in which the residents of Warsaw chose the name of the new metro trains has ended. The fight was fierce, Warsaw residents gave almost 8,000 votes. The new rolling stock will be called "Varsovia".

The Mayor of Warsaw, accompanied by representatives of the insurgents and authorities, unveiled the monument to Captain Stanisław “Agaton” Jankowski. This is a part of the 76th anniversary of the outburst of the Warsaw Uprising.

The memorial tree was solemnly planted in Warsaw Insurgents Park. The foundation act of the Memorial Chamber was dug in its roots. This is a part of the 76th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising.

Warsaw prepared itself to this year’s commemoration in a different way as usual. Many events were not held in traditional form due to the pandemics. There is more space for personal reveries and individual celebrations.
