P+ Action Plan Approved. Implementation of the Mobility Plan Begins!
Prague City Council approved the P+ Action Plan for 2019–2023 under the Polaď Prahu (Tune Up Prague) project. The plan is a document that is crucial for commencing the implementation of transport projects in the city. It sets out the responsibilities that each city organisation has for the various projects and their respective deadlines. It thus defines when Prague has to have the project documentation for the Inner Ring Road or when the construction of the tram line connecting Sídliště Barrandov and Holyně or Divoká Šárka and Sídliště Dědina should be included in the budget. A new information website will be launched in this connection to inform citizens about the status of the projects.
“The Action Plan under the Polaď Prahu (Tune Up Prague) project is a crucial document. We finally have a clear timetable for the specific steps to be taken to make Prague a modern, 21st century city. We know exactly when each important transport project will be built, who will be responsible for it and why it is important in the context of Prague in relation to other projects,” said Transport Deputy Adam Scheinherr.
The Action Plan for 2019–2023 includes measures that will have at least their preparatory phase commenced. Such measures constitute a majority, i.e., 224 out of a total 249. It takes a long time to prepare projects; it is, therefore, necessary to start with the preparatory phase as soon as possible. The first period of validity of the Action Plan thus covers practically all measures of the Mobility Plan. By 2023, almost all measures should be in the preparatory phase and more than half in the implementation phase.
The following is a list of selected projects whose preparatory phase has already begun or will begin this year:
