Where they disagree
Statements from the election calculator on which the people on stage disagree the most — based on their own answers (4 of 6 answered).
-
Transport
When redesigning streets, the city should prioritise separated cycling infrastructure and space for pedestrians, even if this leads to a loss of parking spaces for cars.
-
Transport
In the coming years, the city should give priority to funding the expansion and acceleration of the tram and trolleybus network, even if it meant cutting planned investment in road infrastructure for cars.
-
Sport
The city should co-finance the construction of the new Nové Bazaly football stadium from its own budget (estimated cost over CZK 2.5 billion), even if it meant cutting back other investment projects in the city.
-
Housing
The new land-use plan should set binding requirements for developers on the maximum height, density and functional use of buildings in key locations such as Nová Karolina or Černá louka, even at the cost of longer and more expensive permitting procedures.
