Wrocław ponders metro construction

Rafał Dutkiewicz, the President of Wrocław, announced on Friday that he would like to ask the citizens of the city about their opinion on constructing a metro system. A referendum is scheduled for September 6. Professor Jerzy Malewski from Wrocław University of Technology pointed out that such a project is possible to carry out. "The conditions in Wrocław do not differ from the conditions in other European cities, where a metro was build. Geotechnically, it is possible to construct an underground railway," he said in an interview published by Wrocław city hall. The first metro line in another city besides Warsaw would be completed by 2025, according to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Development. Wrocław wants to be the one.
