”Murder,” and ”disaster”. Kerstin Lidbeck spar in a letter to the editor on the DN View, not on the powder when it comes to Västlänkens alleged effects on the Gothenburg. I choose to put the powder on the facts.
Västlänken has all the time had the support of a significant political majority on the local, regional and national level. It has been decided by the government and parliament in the national plan and by the government’s admissibility. The project has been tested and received the green light in all the legal instances. Now is the construction in time.
With the Västlänken and three new stations in the soil increases tågkapaciteten in Gothenburg significantly and the west of Sweden are tied together to form a coherent train systems. Gothenburg will be fully equipped to accommodate more trains when the tracks around is gradually being built out.
and the new stations allows for more and shorter direktresor for many travelers. Passengers to switch between trains and other public transportation at more places than the Hub to relieve the congested junctions Brunnsparken and Drottningtorget square.
When the Västlänken railway tunnel is completed there will be far more moving in the area around the station Haga. It is the reason why the city of Gothenburg decided to develop the area. It is the cost of this budgeted to 660 million, not ”terminal”.
It is built historically in Gothenburg right now: infrastructure as Västlänken, residential buildings and other buildings. This is done for the Gothenburg region will be able to continue to grow and develop in a more sustainable direction. The last ten years, we have become the 70,000 more residents. It starts to get crowded.
affected including road access, but it is far from a ”disaster” in the traffic. We have great respect for the concerns of those affected and we have therefore, among other things, a close dialogue with operations in central Gothenburg in order to increase the attractiveness and availability.
There is also another picture of the situation. Several of our largest besöksattraktioner hit a new record last year, and there is no sign that the tourists and the organizers choose to Gothenburg. And no, the city’s decision not to apply for the european athletics CHAMPIONSHIPS is not Västlänkens wrong.
the Air in parts of the city is poor and has been for a long time there, including in the area where the Haga station is being built. But it does not depend on the construction of Västlänken, Kerstin Lidbeck claims.
set out a few gauges to monitor the project. On the contrary, is the Västlänken railway tunnel and other investments in sustainable travel are a prerequisite to the air in Gothenburg will be better in the long term.
