New bicycle racks at Prague-Zahradní Město station
IPR Commentary
Who commissioned the replenishment of stands in the vicinity of the Zahradní Město station?
- The investor of the construction is the Railway Administration. However, the idea of placing bike racks in the underpass arose at the IPR as part of negotiations and discussions about this project.
Why was Prague furniture not used around the stations?
- The project was created at a time when the new Prague furniture had not yet been put out to competition. In the original project, a different type was expected.
Do you know if a similar addition of bicycle parking is also planned at the Eden and Vršovice stations? Or when? We only know that something is being prepared at the exit of the main station in Žižkov.
- For us, their addition would certainly be appropriate. But the question is more about the Railway Administration, or the district.
How is the communication between the city, the IPR and the Railway Administration taking place?
- For projects that are currently being prepared, for example Terminal Smíchov, Nádraží Veleslavín, Dlouhá Míle, Hlavní nádraží (Competitive dialogue Nový Hlavák), we have been cooperating from the beginning, not only with regard to the cycling solution, but also the overall view of the city, public space and users. As part of the projects that are now being implemented and are of an older date, they are trying to enter the comment process, similar to the one at the Zahradní město stop.
