After the meetings with residents, workshops, analysing requests and suggestions, we are presenting solutions for traffic calming in nothern part of Stare Polesie.

During two workshops organised in Miejsce Spotkań at al. 1. Maja 40, we met with residents and activists from this part of the city. We gathered tens of requests and suggestions on what is the biggest problem and how to solve it. We tried to list the majority of those suggestions in our piece. 

Our ideas for Stare Polesie (limited from the North by ul. Legionów, from the West by ul. Żeligowskiego, from the South by ul. Zielona and from the East by ul. Wólczańska) contain three main elements:

1) Pedestrian safety, especially close to crossings and intersections. For this reason, we suggested creating the so-called "Mickey Mouse ears" as well as separating parking places from pavements as much as possible. Those solutions are to help in terms of pedestrian visibility as well as ensure mobility comfort for pedestrians.

2) Sorting parking places in such a way that they will not endanger pedestrians and cyclists or destroy pavements. While sorting them we ensured that the number of parking places will not decrease and in some locations we managed to create additional ones. 

3) Implementing cycling infrastructure adequate to the function and status of a street. We suggested two-way cycling at al. 1 Maja and traffic marks on other streets.

Suggestion for al. 1 Maja - two-way cycling
