Beschreibung

This is an allocation under WROCLAW URBAN DEVELOPMENT (2017-0080). This project will upgrade the transport links along major urban corridors. The project will specifically comprise of the: (i) construction of a new bus and tram route connecting Nowy Dwor and Wroclaw City centre; (ii) construction of a tram route at Hubska on a section from Gliniana Street to Dyrekcyjna Street and (iii) construction of a tram route from Milenijna Street to Jagielly Street.

Ziele

The objectives of the project are to improve the asset base of the City and enable the City authorities to better provide public services with the intention to improve the competitiveness of the City. The new tram lines are expected to fill the gap in the tram connections between the city centre and Nowy Dwor district, recently serviced predominantly by buses, as well as adding some lines in the wider city centre to increase the flexibility of tram service in Wroclaw. The line, linking Milenijna and Jagielly streets, is expected to provide an additional tram connection with western Wroclaw districts (currently there is only one tram line). The project provides clear benefits to society. The extension of the tram network will improve the level of service of the trams in Wroclaw, which will become more convenient, comfortable and reliable. The project will therefore contribute to increasing the modal share of the public transport network. People who would otherwise use their car are expected to be attracted to the public transport network, resulting in lower operational costs (as car transport has a much higher average operation cost per passenger-km) and fewer traffic injuries and fatalities. Furthermore, trams will replace some buses connecting the city centre with Nowy Dwor and western districts that will contribute to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
