Týniště nad Orlicí (Rychnovsko) - The reconstruction of the central part of Mírové náměstí in Týniště nad Orlicí in the Rychnov area will cost approximately 11 million crowns and will last until September. Libor Koldinský, the mayor of Týniště, told ČTK. According to him, there has not been such an extensive reconstruction of the square in more than 70 years. "The last time something like this happened was in 1942 or 1943. In the early 1980s, only the nice paved area was covered with asphalt," he said.
Work began this April, and the construction company is expected to hand over the site to the city by the end of September. A pedestrian zone will be created in the central part of the square. Overgrown trees have been removed and will be replaced with new greenery. The central part of the square will have separate lighting. A new water feature will be added, and electric connections will be available in the square. "Various cultural events and markets take place there, and electricity was missing," said Koldinský.
The central feature of the square will be the restored Marian column, which was hidden by trees. While the square also serves as a parking lot, most parking spaces will be preserved. According to the mayor, parking in the square will be organized, which it has not been so far. "Parking spaces will be moved further from the center of the square. Ten to fifteen spots will be reduced in the square," said the mayor. However, he believes it should not be a problem, as right next to the square near the cultural house, a parking lot for about 40 cars was created after the removal of the metal hall.
