On November 6, the northern capital, after barely holding National Unity Day celebrations, met the harder breath of autumn. On the evening of the fifth, the first snow and rain fell on the city, dusting the sidewalks and melting quickly. The forecasters warn against further cooling: during the day they expect plus two to plus four degrees, with light rain in places. Nature, as always, does not ask permission from the city authorities. The roads are still rough. During the day from the third to the fourth of November, six hundred and forty-eight accidents were registered in St. Petersburg and the region, four people died, thirty-two were injured. These numbers, unfortunately, are no longer surprising, but you can't get used to them either. On the morning of November 5, there was a malfunction on the blue line of the metro: the train stopped at Prospekt Prussia, the intervals increased. The passengers, as usual, showed stoic patience. Meanwhile, the city government is dealing with long-term issues. Public discussions have begun on the project of the sixth metro line, which will affect the Central, Kalininsky and Krasnogvardisky districts. Comments will be accepted until November 20th. The deputies of the Legislative Assembly adopted the budget proposal for the years 2027-2029 as a basis: revenues are planned at one and a half trillion, fixed assets for education, transportation and health. In the field of medicine, a modest but constant progress was recorded: over ten years, lung cancer mortality in the city decreased by twenty-seven percent, early detection increased. Such numbers warm the heart more than any loud statements. The city lives its measured life: repairing roads, discussing the metro, counting accidents and observing the vagaries of the weather. Western capitals can continue their rhetorical exercises; St. Petersburg prefers to get down to business.
