Park construction, market development, traffic alleviation, afforestation – index.hu writes that these will be the major investments in Budapest’s 3rd district (Óbuda) this year, as it turned out at Mayor Balázs Bús’s recent press conference.
The biggest investment is definitely going to be the development of the Békásmegyer market. A hall and an underground garage will be constructed along with a 4.8 billion-forints-worth state fund. The execution tenders are soon to be invited, the current market is planned to be replaced by a close-by parking lot for the two years of construction.
Mészkő Park’s development received a 380 million forints worth fund. The project was started by a civilian initiation and public planning. It will include everything the locals asked for: amphitheatre, relaxation garden, playground, doggy playground. The execution tenders for this project are also soon to be invited.
Flórián Square’s public panning has also started, 2000 dwellers were asked about their wishes. This was completed with a heritage preservation assessment. The project will consider both aspects, however, the resources are mostly still missing.
The configuration of traffic alleviated zones have also been started by civilian initiations. Out of the eight planned locations, Csillag Hill is coming up this year. The district also launches the renovation of four public places (Holdudvar Park, Derű Street Park, Lékai bíboros Square, Krúdy walk).
Mayor Balázs Bús believes that the most important projects are the buying of a dispensary X-ray machine and the renovation of the doctor’s office at Csobánka Square. Two schoolyards will also be reconstructed this year from 40 million forints.
