At the initiative of the Mayor of Ostrołęka, Paweł Niewiadomski, a public consultation process under the Polish-Swiss Urban Development Programme was launched on 3 April 2026.

The purpose of the consultation is to gather residents’ opinions, comments and proposals concerning the development of public spaces in Ostrołęka, in particular with regard to:

• the selection of vegetation, including trees, shrubs, perennials and other greenery,

• the appearance, function and vegetation of the pergola on Steyera Street,
• removing paved surfaces and introducing more greenery in the car park on Prądzyńskiego Street,
• proposals for the development of the area on Kopernika Street and suggestions for a name for the rain garden.

The aim of the consultation is to learn about residents’ views and involve them in the process of planning and shaping green urban spaces in a way that responds to the needs of the local community and follows the principles of sustainable development. The consultation also aims to strengthen the local community’s sense of connection with the project implemented under the Polish-Swiss Urban Development Programme.
