Faculty of Civil Engineering Publishes Complaints to Belgrade Subway Design – Poor City Coverage, Key Traffic Routes to Remain Overloaded
According to the published document, the Faculty of Civil Engineering decided to make this step because, as an umbrella education and science institution in the field of construction, they had the obligation of presenting to the public their positions when it comes to the development of the traffic system in the capital of Serbia.
The complaints point out that the proposed solution does not meet the most important criteria for the construction of a subway system.
– What is apparent is the very poor coverage of the city with the subway system after the construction of the first line of as much as 20-23 kilometers. As a consequence, neither will the traffic jams be reduced on the most significant routes, nor will there be any significant positive effects on the space and the environment. All the way until Line 3 is built, the coverage of the city with the subway network will be very weak. The territory south of the highway (on both sides of the Sava), with the exception of the narrow corridor of Radnicka Street, remains outside the reach of the subway – the faculty emphasizes.
What especially draws attention is the claim that the study from 1981 envisages a much better coverage of Belgrade than the new solution.
It is added that the proposed planning solutions run entirely counter to the analyses of mobility, which take into account the number of daily commutes per resident, where the key intersections in the city function near the limit of their capacities.
– We expect that the biggest and the quickest way to achieve a switch from individual transport to subway transport is to first start building a subway line that would connect the center of New Belgrade with the center of the old part of the city and then further down Kralja Aleksandra Blvd – the faculty says in the submission.
