Three original sculptural compositions combining contemporary art and Kazakh national traditions were placed along the street. They were created by a team of sculptors: A. Ormanbekov, Қ. Asylbai, T. Yermukhametov and S. Nurushev.
The composition “Respect” (“Үлкенге құрмет”) represents generational continuity and respect for elders. “Melody” (“Әуен”) is dedicated to the legacy of composer Akhmet Zhubanov, while “Wide Steppe” (“Кең дала”) features three horses.
Street lighting was installed along pedestrian areas for evening use. The project aims to improve the urban environment, expand green space and provide public areas for residents of the Auezov district.
