New trolley line to link Chisinau and Cricova town

The City Hall will start this year to build a trolley route toward Cricova town. Designing works are in progress. Interim Mayor Veaceslav Iordan told the City Hall session, on April 17, that the project will include several stages. Initially, the trolleybus line will reach Stauceni. The construction of the trolleybus line toward Cricova town is one of the provisions included in the General Urban Plan of Chisinau, approved in March by the Chisinau Municipal Council. At the same time, at the request of the Mayor of Stauceni commune, Ion Dragomir, the City Hall will open a bus route from Chisinau to Goienii Noi village. According to the decision of the Chisinau Municipal Council, a new trolleybus line on Independentei Street, Botanica district, will be put into service in May 2007. The line will link Hristo Botev Street, Independentei Street, and Dacia Boulevard. The interim director of the Municipal Department for Transport and Communication Ways, Alexei Varlan, previously told Info-Prim Neo that, according to the Concept on the development of municipal transport, the city hall plans to build several trolleybus lines in the near future. Among them: a trolleybus line on Muncesti Street; one linking Botanica district and Ciocana District through Uzinelor and Voluntarilor Street. Also, it is planned to open a trolleybus line which will link Ismail Street and Petricani, and another one which will link Zelinski and Gradina Botanica (Botanical Garden).
