This week, the first escalators were installed at the Rondo Polsad station.
The station will have four entrances: two located on both sides of Młyńska Street, and two more on Lublańska Street — one at the intersection with Promienistych Street, and the other near the office buildings. Thanks to this layout, passengers will be able to reach the station safely and comfortably from every side of Rondo Polsad.
Access to the facility, which is approximately 20 meters deep, will be provided by five elevators, six pairs of escalators, and six sets of traditional open staircases.
The station design was consulted with the Consultative Team for the Accessibility of Municipal Infrastructure for People with Disabilities, operating under the District Social Council for People with Disabilities at the Mayor of Kraków. Thanks to clear guidelines, we were able to adapt the facility to the needs of people with reduced mobility, wheelchair users, and people who are visually impaired or blind. Special emphasis was placed on eliminating potential barriers on the station platforms. Warning strips with a changed texture and contrasting colours will appear at the platform edges and before each descent to the underground platforms (near staircases).
Rondo Polsad Station is a two-level interchange hub — undoubtedly one of the most impressive parts of the KST IV project!
