7. Street

The avenue 7, which stands out as one of the symbol streets of Ankara. is located in the Bahçelievler district. This private street, also known as Ashgabat Street, is considered as very popular even though it is not even close to Tunali Hilmi Street. The street is especially frequented by students. Its proximity to universities is an important reason for this. There are many cafes and restaurants on the 7. Street. In terms of crowd, it is generally compared to Baghdad Street. The street, which begins to find its own identity with the arrival of spring months, also contains green spaces. The only drawback here is that problems with traffic haven't been solved for a long time. In certain periods, even the closure of this place to traffic comes to the agenda. At that time, a special referendum is held for the local people. According to the results of this referendum, the decision to continue with traffic will be made, albeit by a slight margin. A referendum for a street is a rare occurrence in Turkey. Decisively, the idea of turning this place into a pedestrianised, nostalgic street with trams and shops comes back to the agenda. 7. Street, one of the places where the heart of the City beats socially is located in the Çankaya district of Ankara.
