PROJECTS OF COMMUNICATION AND TECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Communication study of the West Railway Station hub
The study concerns one of the most important transport hubs (serving rail and bus communication needs) which is supposed to be connected with a tram line. It analyzes the proposed solutions regarding elements of the road system and public transport and principles for efficient bus and train transport within the hub area. Four alternative plans of the tram line, running from the West Railway Station to Bemowo, were indicated. For the purpose of these plans, situational and height solutions for streets, line, parking lots, loops, tram and bus stops as well as connections with the station of the third metro line were developed. The aim of the study was to select the best option for the functional communication system, enabling further coordination of the design work, defining the principles for transportation system of the hub (both train and bus stations), and the formulation of guidelines for the local spatial development plans. As a result of the conducted analyzes, a recommended plan ensures optimal transport solutions for the railway and bus stations, and at the same time enables the proper communication with industrial, storage and railway areas of Odolany, which have a high development potential.
