Multi-level parking lots to be built in central Plovdiv

Tue, Jan 13 2009 15:06 CET byNick Iliev 250 Views

Five multi-level parking lots are to be build in the centre of Plovdiv, the second largest Bulgarian city, in order to facilitate parking congestion in the town centre.

The facilities will be located on Suborna street, with the first parking lot going to occupy area in very close proximity to one of the main orthodox cathedrals, St Bogoditsa. The second would be built on the other side of the old town, near the Seven Hills hotel, on the parcel of land where the former Kosmos cinema once stood.

The remaining lots will be constructed on Balkan and Krichim streets, in the central part of Plovdiv.

The deputy mayor of Plovdiv Petko Atanassov stated that negotiations are underway for a possible decision to close the central part of Plovdiv for traffic until the parking lots are erected to avoid even further congestion and traffic with all the lorries and other construction works. All the parcels for the new parking lots were approved at the coalition council, with the municipal director Todor Petkov, website stoitelstvo.bg reported.
