Against the construction of a new lock, Prague is taking a toll on noise and smog
In November, the Ministry of Agriculture rejected the joint appeal of the capital, Prague 5, Prague 1 and some associations against the original decision of the building series from last August, which approved the measure to build a waterworks.
The city’s management at the time stated that the decision of the building series was based on an incorrect and ineffective opinion of the master’s departments of monuments from November 2011 and the department of earth development, and is contrary to public interest and is unreviewable. However, the Ministry rejected these arguments and at the same time rejected all objections to the implementation of constructions.
The capital therefore intended to file an appeal against the decision of the Ministry, which should be prepared by the Institute of Fulfillment and Development of the Capital City of Prague. Prague (IPR), which will represent the city in court. K alob se pid tak Praha 5.
The last option of the city
According to the councilor for the legislation of Hana Kordov Marvanov, Prague cannot otherwise defend itself against the implementation of constructions. We do not agree with the decision of the Ministry, which refused to revoke the capital of Prague against the decision to allow construction. Neglecting nothing else, he did not go to court, Marvanov agreed with the fact that all councils unanimously agreed.
ad allowed the construction of a lock chamber in the center of Prague, the magistrate is against |
Prague on the verge The Vltava River Basin defects the fact that the mode of shipping and the associated noise and pollution. According to the master and the town hall, the construction of the new chamber will lead to the operation of large ships, which is now extremely high in the center of Prague. About 28,000 ships pass through the existing Smchov lock.
In addition, according to the city, the construction would be insensitive to the monuments of the protection of the center of Prague and the Czech Republic would be driven away by recreational vessels and dredgers. We will refuse to build a new lock chamber in Smchov. The center of Prague is a city with the second largest air pollution in the country, and therefore we do not want to bring a ship to the city center, which will emit harmful emissions and cause excessive noise. We do not even want to increase the operation of tourist parks, which currently account for ninety percent of traffic on the Vltava, to the head of the mayor Petr Hlubuek.
The ship will not have to wait
The City Hall of Prague 5 also disagreed with the Ministry’s procedure. The decision of the Ministry of Agriculture is completely curious. The ministry itself, which is the founder of the Vltava River Basin Company, ie the investor in the construction, dismissed it. That ministry, in its budget chapter are filled with expenditures of 750 million for the construction of the chamber, to the mayor of Prague 5 Tom Homola.
The Ministry of Agriculture, in its disapproving position against the dismissal of Prague, states that the new lock chamber is a strategic project for the development of waterways and the current situation, on the contrary, will alleviate because ships will not have to wait in the chamber.
The implementation of the construction will not have a decisive influence on the overall acoustic situation in the location, so in the document. The R (VC) waterways directorate argues similarly. Due to the concentration of waiting and maneuvering ships, which intensify traffic and the rest of the surrounding area, the two-speaking VC Jan Bukovsk justified the fact that the type of chamber should relieve the inhabitants of Prague 1 and Prague 5. He gave the suit of the new chambers to be so safe. So far, the existing Smchov Chamber has been used by a large ship together, and sometimes accidents occur.
New chamber of operation
Prague insists that the new chamber only increases the operation of tourist parks and large ships. The main problem of the new lock chamber is the intensity of traffic, which would worsen with its construction on the Vltava. The Czech Republic is very busy today and such a operation would not benefit even the memory of the reservation, IPR supplier Ondej Boh.
At present, the number of ships on the Vltava can affect the city only by not allowing them to dock at the swimmers. According to the council’s resolution, it has not landed there since 2021 with an engine that does not meet emission limits. The city according to builds with charging stations for the ship’s electric drive.
