The largest garage cooperative, Ak-Zhorgo, located in the 12th microdistrict, has been designated for redevelopment in Bishkek. The site, which the Mayor's Office plans to use for the construction of a children's educational center and a parking lot, currently contains more than a thousand garages.
Reasons for demolition and deadlines for vacating the territory
According to a notice from the Bishkek Mayor's Office Land Use Control Department, the 2.183 ha plot located along A. Tokombaev Street in the southern planning zone has been allocated for the design and construction of new facilities. The decision was made by the commission for the provision of land rights in the capital on September 7, 2026.
Garage owners have been ordered to restore the municipal plot to its original state by dismantling all structures. The deadline to vacate the territory was shortened: owners were initially given 14 days, but a subsequent official notice set a deadline of 10 calendar days.

Ak-Zhorgo cooperative chairman Islam Madramov reported that a notice regarding the unilateral termination of the land lease agreement was sent to his email on November 4. According to him, Land Use Control Department employees delivered a clarifying notice with a shortened deadline two days after the first message.
