60 declarations of readiness for operation (construction permits);
52 declarations of readiness for unauthorized construction;
20 notices of commencement of work on SS1 facilities;
16 permits for construction work;

In Mykolaiv, most of the documents processed were for private construction and renovation. People were also actively legalizing unauthorized construction.

Mykolaiv plans to develop new rules for the use of electric scooters. The issue was discussed during an open staff meeting of the city council after a series of traffic accidents involving this type of transportation were reported in the city. Artem Vashchilenko, chairman of the Expert and Public Council, reported that in the past week alone he had witnessed three accidents involving electric scooters, one of which resulted in serious injuries to children.

During the discussion of the issue, examples were cited of Ukrainian cities that have already begun to regulate this matter. Specifically, in Ternopil, electric scooters have been banned from the pedestrian zone in the city center, and rental companies have been required to limit the speed of the vehicles. In Lviv, proposals have been made to set a minimum user age of 16, require the use of helmets, and verify age through mobile apps.
