Residents are asking about new stops, the city has been talking about plans for two years. Unfortunately, these have not materialized [PHOTOS]

Regular reports reaching our editorial office regarding the bus stops on Jagiellońska Street indicate that their current condition and appearance are unacceptable to residents, who, after all, travel across Poland and see what urban bus stop infrastructure can and should look like today. Exploring the issue last year, we inquired with the city council when the project for new bus stops on Jagiellońska Street, which was discussed back in 2023 and is now complete, would be implemented. We also inquired whether the city had secured funding for this project. It then transpired that plans to build new shelters, which had been touted in January 2023, had stalled due to a lack of funding. The local government announced that, having completed the design documentation, it would apply for funding, which would include, among other things, the following: The reconstruction of the "Plac Rybi" and "Plac Pilecki" bus stops under the European Funds for Eastern Poland Operational Programme 2021-2027, Measure FEPW.03.01 Sustainable Urban Mobility. At that time, specific dates for the call for applications were unknown, but according to the city council, it was supposed to take place in 2025 or the following year. Przemyśl councilor Ryszard Kulej returned to the topic and asked the city government to secure funding in the 2026 budget for the purchase and installation of new bus shelters – particularly on Jagiellońska Street, but also in other locations where they require urgent attention. He noted that not only the ones on Jagiellońska Street, but also many others, are in a state of extreme neglect. Residents who periodically report this problem to our editorial office draw identical conclusions, drawing particular attention to the damaged and often dirty bus shelters on Jagiellońska Street, haunted by cracked glass and the empty stumps of long-removed electronic timetable displays that have yet to be replaced (repairs were uneconomical for the city). The city intends to install the new displays while implementing plans to build new bus stops on Jagiellońska Street. The word "plans" seems key here, as these have been discussed since 2023... But they haven't materialized, as Councilor R. Kulej also pointed out in his motion...
