VISUALIZATION: Another P + R car park will be built in Prague. There will be places for bicycles and charging stations Transport News Pražská Drbna
Prague councilors approved the announcement of a public contract for the construction of a four-storey P + R parking lot with a capacity of 495 parking spaces in Chilská Street near the Opatov C metro station. The parking lot will also include a park with seating.
Parking house for almost 500 cars
“This year we will start building new P + Rs for almost 500 cars near the Opatov metro station and the D1 motorway. It will be a unique traffic structure. We were looking for a way to work elegantly with the surrounding terrain, not destroy it, incorporate a P + R car park into it, and create a new place full of greenery for spending free time. On one side of the parking lot, on the other park. The city is not inflatable and land negotiations are difficult. If we can, we have to connect projects. “ stated the square for transport Adam Scheinherr (Prague itself).
The parking house will be used mainly by drivers who come to Prague from the D1 motorway. Prague will thus significantly expand the capacity of parking spaces within the P + R system, which are still in short supply in this area due to great interest. According to the municipality, with the construction of the car park, new traffic will increase on the adjacent city roads, where they usually look for free parking spaces.
Charging station for electric cars, space for bicycles and a park
There will be charging stations for electric cars in the parking house, and the plan also includes space for 32 bicycles and a park. In the part that is immediately adjacent to the western facade of the House with the care service Šalounova, a quiet corner with a sitting area is designed. Behind him, the terrain rises to the height of the parking house, where a residential green roof will be created. The lower and upper levels of the park will be connected by three concrete stairs and barrier-free by means of two ramps.
The construction should start this autumn or winter, it should be completed by mid-2024. The estimated value of the public contract P + R Opatov is set at 667 million CZK without VAT plus a budget reserve of 83 million crowns, in total therefore, it is CZK 750 million without VAT. The plan has yet to be approved by representatives.
