Prague - The city council in Prague-Čakovice is demanding an extension of metro line C from Letňany to Čakovice. The new terminus could be at the Avia complex, where the company plans to build in the future. Alexander Lochman (Pro Prague), the mayor, told ČTK. The city council has already presented its proposal as part of the discussions on changing the zoning plan for the area in question. Whether the metro will be extended will depend, among other things, on the city of Prague and the construction investor.
According to Lochman, thousands of residents would move to the area if construction took place. He claims there would be more than 6000 people at the Avia complex, and additional people would use the metro from surrounding areas, such as Vinoř, Kbely, or Miškovice, and commuters from Central Bohemia would also travel there. "Then you have around 60,000 people. That is already a reason to offer them a dignified mode of transportation. And the metro is the fastest and most comfortable way," Lochman said.
The city council has already submitted this comment as part of the request to change the zoning plan initiated by Avia. At the same time, they would like the owner to create what is called a territorial reserve within the land planned for development, where a station could potentially be built. It is said they have not yet engaged in specific talks with the developer Čakovice. "The construction of the station could well be a PPP project, where a private investor is involved," the mayor said.
According to Deputy Mayor Petr Dolínek (ČSSD), the idea is worth considering. "We have always been open to discussions about environmentally friendly modes of transport to developing areas," he stated. If Prague decides to address the proposal from Čakovice, a number of studies will need to be prepared, including a feasibility study or a demographic study.
Metro line C has been operating from Ládví to Letňany since May 8, 2008. There is a bus terminal at the station; however, it has often been criticized in the past for being outside the built-up area. The line itself measures 22.425 kilometers and has 20 stations. The journey from Letňany to Háje takes 36 minutes. The section between the Florenc and Kačerov stations is the oldest part of the Prague metro and was put into operation on May 9, 1974.
