The main artery of Žižkov will change. Tram stops will also be relocated
Prague planners are talking about a pilot project in which, for the first time ever, great emphasis will be placed on “measures related to climate change, especially the rainwater management system”. Applicants can apply until 31 May. The estimated value of the contract is two million crowns.
The idea for the overall transformation of Seifertova Street is related to the necessary reconstruction of the tram line, which has been drawn by Metroprojekt since last year. For example, I expect the Lipanská stops to be moved to the level of Sladkovského náměstí.

The relocation of the Husinecká station to Winston Churchill Square will probably have an even more significant impact on passengers. The names of the Husinecká and Lipanská stops, used for decades, will probably disappear from traffic maps.
Space for pedestrians and cyclists
“Reconstruction of the track is an opportunity for people to improve the whole street and bring it closer. In addition, the study developers will have to look for the comfort of tram transport, sufficient space for new pedestrians and cyclists, tree lines and parking requirements, “said the Deputy Mayor of Prague 3, Ondřej Rut.
“I believe that the reconstruction can be a good example of how a major city street is to be designed at a time of extreme weather events and the severe effects of climate change,” he added.

The revitalization of the main Žižkov artery, together with the reconstruction of the adjoining Táboritská Street, is planned for 2024. Citizens can also speak into the future shape of the street in the form of an online questionnaire.
The transformation is supposed to solve mainly three problematic bodies of this part of Žižkov. It is the junction of Seifertova and Chlumova streets, the staircase between Táboritská and Chelčického streets and the surroundings of the Bezovka shopping center near Olšanské náměstí.
