Professional City Life – transportation and communication

As a partner of the project, we cordially invite you to participate in a free workshop, during which you will gain the knowledge and materials needed to create your own film reportage entitled. “Professional Life of the City.” This is a unique opportunity to learn about the tasks of those involved in the implementation of the Tramway to Mistrzejowice project and get to know their natural working environment.

On the initiative of the Specialized Psychological and Pedagogical Counseling Center called “Krakow Career Center” and in cooperation with MPK and the Museum of Engineering and Technology in Krakow, we invite you to participate in the project entitled. “Professional Life of the City.” The purpose of the event is to cause participants to increase their knowledge of the city’s development and to induce reflection on the professions that are essential to ensure its continuous, uninterrupted functioning. In this year’s pilot edition of the project, we are focusing on issues related to urban transportation and communication.

To participate in the project, we invite pupils in the seventh grade of Krakow elementary schools – young people facing the choice of further education and career planning. We offer participation in free workshops, during which participants will gather knowledge and materials to prepare a film report entitled. “Professional Life of the City.” The three best reports will be awarded. The following criteria will be important in the evaluation:

  • compliance with the theme (presentation of professions related to the development of the city, especially transportation and communication);
  • inclusion of “socially relevant” issues, i.e. accessibility for people with disabilities, development;
  • ingenuity, originality and overall artistic expression of the presentation of the topic.

In preparing the competition work, it will be necessary to use the knowledge gained during the thematic workshops.

Closure of parking along Meissner 4 and 6 buildings

Beginning next Tuesday, April 16, work will begin on the reconstruction of a heat pipeline on Meissnera Street. Due to the works, the parking lot along Meissnera buildings 4 and 6 will be temporarily out of service. Replacement parking for residents, will be located at 6 Pilotów Street – Castorama and on Pilotów Street opposite Pilot Tower on the closed section of the road. 

The reconstruction of an underground heat pipeline network is a complex process that requires precise planning and coordination of activities. The work is carried out in stages, taking into account the highest safety standards. 

Once the new elements are completed, rewiring is carried out, followed by the dismantling of the old infrastructure. Underground networks are mainly placed under sidewalks, parking lots, bicycle paths and in green belts. This allows easy access to the installations during repair or maintenance work. In the case of repairs, this does not require disturbing the road surface, which minimizes disruption to traffic.

What exactly are the difficulties that residents will face? 

In connection with the works, the parking lot at 4 and 6 Meissner Street will be successively closed as the works progress. The area that will be affected by the works first is marked on the graphic. 

Replacement parking

Replacement parking is located at 6 Pilots Street – Castorama (spaces on the side of Młyńska Street) and on Pilots Street opposite Pilot Tower on the closed section of the road.  

The work will last until the end of May.
