Prague - A relaxation area will be created at the dead-end of Dejvická Street near Vítězné Square. There will be seating areas including hammocks, and plans include chess tables, a library, or a piano. In summer, the space could be used for concerts or exhibitions, and in winter possibly as an ice rink. This was announced to journalists today by Martin Polách (ANO), the deputy mayor of Prague 6. The reconstruction of the entire Dejvická Street from Vítězné Square to Hradčanská has been discussed for several years, and a study for modifications costing approximately one hundred million crowns has been created. According to Polách, its realization will not occur until 2018 or 2019. "One thing is to make it a nice street, including paving and rows of trees. However, there are 250 vehicles parking on the street, and they need to be relocated," explained the deputy mayor. In contrast, he believes it is possible to quickly transform the dead-end part of the street near Vítězné Square. In the area where there are currently 16 parking spaces, a relaxation area of 25 by 25 meters will be created. Trees in pots will separate the space from the busy part of the roundabout. "We are considering whether we might try to open it for winter as well. There’s the idea that a smaller city ice rink could be created," the deputy mayor added. The city hall has had a study since 2008 for transforming Dejvická into an urban commercial boulevard, according to which new squares, tree-lined avenues, and underground garages for up to 750 cars could help calm the street. Currently, however, the street is filled with cars not only from local residents but also from people commuting to the city. Shops are often replaced by banks and casinos.
