During March and April 2010 I was privileged to take part along with several experts in the field of urban transport in the expansion draft tram lines in Gliwice (included because it is still intact, the tram line No. 4).
following the consent of the authors present the results of work which at present are subjected to critical analysis.
first prepared the drawings for Option No. 3 (most powerful):
Mileage tram lines in Gliwice
proposed arrangement of tracks in the center of Gliwice
The street circuits in the area. New World (version 1)
track layout around st. New World (version 2)
potential for further development of the proposed tram lines
third Notes and assumptions plan tram expansion in Gliwice.
3.1. expansion of the tram network in Gliwice was based on the construction of railways divisional priority - keeping traction on the road, however, it became inevitable in some places (Wyszynski Street - Street. Akademicka, fragment Street. Dworcowa, fragment Street. John Paul II, st. Kosciuszko Street and part. Gen. Anders) - These sections, however, does not exceed 10% of the length of the new tracks and are normal in the city centers, where the tram lines to cross.
3.2. The study takes into account the fact that the construction of Ring Road in the previously planned track.
3.3. example of other Polish cities - Warsaw and Cracow, was taken into account the construction of parking lots in the "Park & \u200b\u200bRide" on a few loops as well as the construction of tram interchange centers tram / bus, which will shorten and enhance bus transport offer .
3.4. Founded need build a technical track linking the street. Dworcowa of the street. Victory by the Street. The lower the former Ramparts existing track.
3.5. In order to lead the tram in the direction of people. Copernicus and Łabędy decided to start building a separate tram overpass over the railway line along the existing bridge on the street. Heroes of the Warsaw Ghetto and the lead line trail railway track based on the existing infrastructure planned in the 80 century for "Regional Rail Traffic."
3.6. Due to lack of appropriate urban design of Gliwice in the years 1945 - 1989, and quite free buildings, plans to bring the tram line to os. Defenders of Peace - this would entail high costs of construction and numerous wyburzeniami. Today could be to merge in the direction of Żerniki Street. Tarnogórską.
3.7. In order to bring the tram line on the street. Tarnogórską, which with the current arrangement of the urban district is a problem, proposed to take advantage of the old German plans for the construction of that line - from the bridge on the street. Zabrskiej tram goes straight to the st. Poniatowski (which is quite wide so it can be trackway lay in the road or narrow the roadway to create a trackway separated from one side of the street), at the height of the intersection. Poniatowski Street. Okrzei trackway is part of the green belt between the two strands Street. Poniatowski (at the height of the marketplace it is necessary to extend the roadway at the expense of farmers markets to tram tracks could be more middle of two branches of the road) - Skowronski (roadway should be extended and the trackway would be situated in the middle), at the intersection of Skowronski and Tarnogórski tram turns right entirely to the left Page Street. Tarnogórski (on the street. Tarnogórski You can build a dedicated trackway at the expense of shifting and narrowing lanes, which would entail a reduction in transit traffic on the street. Tarnogórski, assuming a heart bypass interchange and tram / bus system and parking at the Park & \u200b\u200bRide)
3.8. Founded also a need to build a new road bridge linking the street. Chorzowska of the street. Zabrską, in a straight line over the railway line - as was originally envisaged in the plans of German, so you can get ride of Gliwice without the inner city - a journey by car from the street. Chorzowska followed by a new flyover directly to the street. Zabrską, ul. Konarski, two-way street. Wroclaw and here comes the distribution of traffic on the street. Pszczyńska, ul. Rybnik and ul. New World without the center: Piazza Piast and st. Railway station.
3.9. should rethink the communication system of division st. Dworcowa, ul. Street and the street. Czestochowa, which should be bidirectional. Increased number of lanes of the above streets will not discharge traffic. Additionally, you should move towards a total removal vehicles passing through the city to the planned transit and still do not fully realized the city ring road.
3.10. In order to better, faster and more economical connection with the district decided to design Trynek tram lines in the wake of a proposed street Noworybnickiej.
3.11. designed two options for the tram line near the intersection of Nowy Swiat Street. Rybnik, John Paul II, Pszczyńska, Mikołowska and Wroclaw, assuming the introduction of two way traffic on the street. Dworcowa and st. Wroclaw excluding transit through the city center. A) The first option provides for releasing the tracks on a separate trolley mounted on the right side of the street. John Paul II. B) The second option provides for total exemption from the traffic (except for residents) st. Mikołowska (pedestrian) - where the introduction of tram-way traffic - from the street. Mikołowska skręcałby tram right in the green belt (trackway aside) between two lanes of traffic on the street. New World.
3.12. The study was taken into account the need to completely exit TIR'ów from downtown, which liquefies the passage of the proposed tram line between Pilsudski Square and the street. Academic.
3.13. Extension of tram lines and the location of the current tram depot forced to consider the construction of the second tram depot - the best place in the presented concept is located in the old district of Gliwice. This solution avoids a situation which took place between 1992 - 1994, when it's due to renovation of the viaduct over the railway Gliwice were devoid of connection to the tram depot. In addition to the old district of Gliwice was planned two separate lines of communication systems, allowing easy access to the depot, even in case of failure on one of the episodes.
3.14. needed to rebuild the bridge over the railway tram along. Chorzów, with one lane for two-way, to improve communication.
3.15. The study takes into account the need to build a second track on the street. Ramparts and the lower street. Daszyńskiego (between the tram terminal and the existing street. Pushkin), which will improve ride and safety - in Gliwice, in addition to the technical track will not be any single-track sections.
3.16. It consider the implementation of the following solution - the introduction of one-way traffic along the street. Upper and Lower Embankment opposite clockwise direction, allowing you to hang a single track tram within the above streets, and thereby removing a second track on the street. Ramparts of the lower and change the existing tram route, which loops coming from the village chiefs stop at the park Mickiewicz skręcałby right down the street. Upper Ramparts until the street. Railway station, then in the street. Ramparts of the lower and right on the street. Victory.
3.17. recommended to be taken into account to build additional connections between Gliwice Zabrze a (preferably by Sośnica).
3.18. Anticipating the construction of new neighborhoods and residential areas, especially in the south of the city, it should be in land use planning to secure the strip of land on the possible construction of the future tram route.
4th Changes in the numbering of previous tram
current numbering of tram lines in Silesia amended frequently using it in the confusion of passengers - this also applies to those visitors, for example, in Zabrze, we find the following lines 1 , 3, 4, 5 and 35!
Proposed Association "Initiative Group" aims to standardize the numbering line and assign specific numbers (if possible) between the cities with an appropriate reserve for possible future construction of the line.
For example
numbers 1 - 9 Katowice,
numbers from 1910 to 1919 Chorzów
numbers from 1920 to 1929 Ruda Slaska
Numery 30 – 39 Zabrze
Numery 40 – 49 Gliwice
Numery 50 – 59 Bytom
Numery 60 – 69 Siemianowice, Mysłowice
Numery 70 – 79 Sosnowiec
Numery 80 – 89 Będzin, Czeladź
Numery 90 – 99 Dąbrowa Górnicza
5th Changes in the current course of the former tram line No. 4, determined by the new numbering as line No. 40
Applicable to August 2009 tram system in Gliwice cause unnecessary duplication of lines 1 and 4, which generated economic losses. In this study, it was decided to revert to starting line 1 in relation Gliwice village mayors - Chebzie Loop.
communication between distant cities should be done with a smooth and rapid rail transit such as Pyskowice - Zawiercie, Gliwice - Bytom
Based on the conduct of the former line 4 Gliwice reeves Countryside - Zabrze Zaborze Association "Initiative Group" proposes to introduce a line number 40
6th The proposed design and conduct of new tram lines numbered 41, 42, 43, 44, 45 and 46 or 46 and 47

8th Time for applications
Saving crowded cities comes rail transport, which have multiple benefits can relieve the city arteries, encouraging residents to leave your car in the garage. Cities that want to be seen as modern and developed in a sustainable way simply invest in trams. It is well known that the modern streetcar is not only prestige, but also an efficient means of transportation, such friendly people and the environment.
modern, well-designed tramway in Gliwice could function to limit self-financing. It is primarily perform a feasibility study of the proposed line along with a thorough analysis their progress in terms of acceptability by the people.
present, utilized in Gliwice, Poland tram route should be a base to expand the network and only for that reason should be preserved and modernized. We know that the tram line No. 4 was one of the best in terms of effectiveness in Silesia. There was therefore no economic argument to eliminate it in Gliwice. DTS will not solve all the ills of communication agglomeration, the recipe for it is not primarily a workable rail transport.
After completing the initial proposal to expand the tram network plan in Gliwice, our city would have solved the problem of transportation for many years.
Bus lines would complement communications centers dowożąc passengers to interchange with the main loop tram. And so - for example, bus 71, Pyskowice could commute to the station just in Łabędy interchange (train instead of bus shelter) , rather than enter the center. In this way, bus would be shorter and cheaper (not dublowałaby with others, and tram lines autobusowaymi) a journey to the center of Gliwice, faster and more efficient
course is now required for proper transport policy, which aims to encourage residents to use public transport and thus leave your car in travel to the city center. However, well-organized public transportation in big cities - such as Gliwice - based on the main arteries of communication Railroad itself is like a magnet that encourages the use of its benefits.
Buses will never provide in Gliwice communication at the appropriate level, with a high frequency of traveling, I like the cars standing in traffic jams and often do not "stick" fixed timetable. Many residents of our city, instead of being stuck in traffic on buses will do so in their private cars, because it is convenient for them. If, however, transitioned into their tram travel time from home to place of work, leisure or shopping has reduced substantially.
So should we convince someone else to build a tram line in Gliwice?
