City
transport is the most difficult matter and the greatest challenge for any government.
 Not everybody
sees a doctor because not everybody has to, many of us have already forgotten
about schools, and the same refers to culture. However, almost all of us move
around the city. And we all see and feel what it is like. And Cracow is a special
city, whose most investment plans of the city the greatest amount of money is
assigned for communication. So-called strategic inveimportant communication routes
came into being in the 19th century. Lubicz Street was once a wide road for carriages.
It is not and it cannot be such a road for almost 400 thousand cars registered
in Cracow.
Only the ignorant cannot see thatthe situation is slowly but
constantly improving. What is more important here, in thestments will entail almost
800 million PLN by the year 2004. According to the officially accepted plans in
4-5 years the communication problems of the city are going to be solved! It will
be so if the Communication Center arises next to the railway station, fast streetcar
is set in motion, two new bridges and a few communication junctions making it
easier to get to new housing estates are constructed.
The summer of 2000
was a good time for communication. First of all those driving through  Zakopianka
enjoyed the fact that driving east one can avoid Mateczny roundabout and get straight
to Kamienskiego Street. The other new street is Nowosadecka, which is now joined
to Wielicka Street. The so-called fast streetcar will soon go that way. Inhabitants
of Cracow are looking forward to this investment.
And the bridges - one
of them called Zwierzyniecki - will link both banks of the Vistula river at Dêbniki
and Ksiecia Jozefa Street. The second - Kotlarski bridge will end up in Podgorze
beginning at Kotlarskie roundabout. Not everybody is waiting for them with the
same interest. The reason for it is simple - the fears of the inhabitants of e.g.
Debniki as to increased traffic. The citizens from Trzech Wieszczow alleys, poisoned
with exhaust fumes, do not share their views. You cannot please everybody.
