It has been over half a year since the municipal elections, and we are asking the Prague city councilors responsible for transportation from Prague 1 to Prague 22 about their plans for cycling infrastructure. We continue with the municipal district of Prague 16, which has a population of 8,500 and includes Radotín. Petr Šiška, councilor for transportation representing the Civic Democratic Party (ODS), is responding to our written inquiries.
Are there any plans in the upcoming years to construct new cycle paths, designate bicycle lanes, or legalize bicycle passage in your municipal district? Where?
After the railway reconstruction, a new footbridge for pedestrians and cyclists will be opened this year.
Are there any plans to improve the accessibility of your municipal district for cyclists? For example, by implementing contraflow bike lanes?
Not at the moment, but it is not excluded in the future in the new upcoming development.
Is there a plan to install more bicycle racks in the streets? Where?
Yes, at the train station and schools.
Will there be covered and secure bicycle parking at the newly reconstructed Radotín train station, similar to the one in Řevnice? Will there be safe access to it?
Yes, there will be both covered and open bicycle parking facilities.
What about bikesharing? Are you striving to have a denser network of parking stations for shared bicycles or their expansion?
Not at the moment, there is minimal activity in our area.
How else do you plan to improve the conditions for cycling in your municipal district?
It is not possible within our municipal district, except for the area around the Berounka River, where the utilization of the cycle path is high.
Which construction or change in the current electoral term will have the most positive impact on pedestrian and cycling traffic in your municipal district?
The new footbridge for pedestrians and cyclists, which will replace the discontinued railway crossing.
Which foreign city serves as an inspiration for you in terms of transportation?
For me, it is Copenhagen, although it is nearly impractical for us.
Do you sometimes get around the city by bike?
No, I prefer to walk.
Do you follow our magazine?
No.
Thank you for your answers.
