Prague 9 has approved the exchange of municipal land with Finep Prosek
Among other things, the Prosek Polyclinic at Střížkov City Hall is considering the construction of a home for the elderly on the land near the medical facility. He wants to preserve the greenery on other plots in Střížkov, said the mayor of Prague 9, Tomáš Portlík (ODS), at today’s council meeting. The intention to exchange land was approved by the representatives of Prague 9 at their meeting in September 2020.
According to the mayor of Prague 9, the development of a polyclinic is planned on the land behind the Prosek Polyclinic, the only shareholder is the city district, and the construction of a new sanitary facility for the elderly is being considered. In addition to the Prosek Polyclinic, the Prague City Hall also wants to build a new headquarters for the Prague Rescue Service (ZZS). The new headquarters of the emergency medical service, the construction of which should cost about 1.5 billion crowns, is to have a dispatching, administration and rescue training center.
After the exchange of land, Prague 9 wants to preserve the green area of apartment buildings previously built by Finep in Střížkov. According to Portlík, Finep wanted to build the park on the land near the houses before the land exchange. It will be possible to expand the number of parking spaces or to expand leisure activities for the inhabitants of Prague 9 on other lands in Prague 9 that Prague 9 will receive in exchange, said City Hall spokeswoman Marie Kurková.
“In the long run, the places we strive for people to know as green, even though they are managed in this way in the zoning plan, are not preserved as green areas. In order to be able to own them, we try to acquire them. This is also the case of land in Střížkov owned by FINEP Prosek, “said Portlík.
The city district of Prague 9 should pay 34 million crowns for Finep’s exchanged lands. Finep Prosek should build an access road on the newly acquired land in Vysočany, which, according to councilor Jana Nowaková Těmínová (TOP 09 / STAN), will serve the U Elektry school. U Elektry Elementary and Kindergarten is now building in Prague 9 for about 480 million crowns. The town hall will then buy the land under the newly built road and the built road for 10,000 crowns without VAT, the councilor advised.
After the elections, they formed an ODS coalition and the TOP 09 and STAN clubs in the city district, and together they have 23 seats in the 33-member council. Pirates and YES ended up in opposition.
Prague 9, which has about 56,000 inhabitants, consists of the entire cadastral area of Prosek and parts of the cadastral areas of Vysočany, Hrdlořez, Střížkov, Hloubětín, Libno and Malešice.
