Prague - The Prague City Council today approved a long-discussed change that will allow the reconstruction of Masaryk Station in the center of Prague. The change will allow, among other things, the connection between Pernerova and Na Florenci streets and plans for the construction of a railway museum. The station and the post office building on Hybernská Street will be preserved. There will be a reserve at the station for connecting to the rapid transit line to the airport. The council's approval means that a building moratorium in the area will be lifted.
    Prague 1, which owns one of the plots in the area, opposed the preservation of space for two additional tracks along Na Florenci street. Prague 1 councilor Filip Dvořák (ODS) had previously stated at a council committee meeting that it is merely a "staging area" for trains in the city center. According to him, the tracks are not being used efficiently. However, the change today went smoothly without any discussion.
    According to earlier statements by Deputy Mayor Tomáš Hudeček (TOP 09), Masaryk Station is one of the key stations for Prague, primarily due to its connection to the line from Kladno, which is not connected to the main train station. "Masaryk Station will retain its influence for a long time, and its significance should rather be strengthened," Hudeček said.
    The majority of the land at Masaryk Station is owned by České dráhy (ČD). The reconstruction of the station is planned by the company Masaryk Station Development, in which ČD owns about 34 percent and the majority is held by the investment group Penta.
    Masaryk Station primarily serves suburban transportation, with over 30,000 passengers passing through daily.
