What should happen?
- A new footbridge is extremely important for making Štvanice Island--an important recreational locality--accessible. Štvanice is accessible by car via Hlávkův Bridge. However, this approach is not convenient for pedestrians.
- The main limits placed on the design were the requirements for flood protection, from the flow and waterways administrator, the characteristic urban situation on both banks, and the requirements for barrier-free entrances to the footbridge.
- The location of the footbridge is in accordance with the zoning plan.
- On the Holešovice side, the entrance was defined on Bubenské nábřeží in front of the gate to the Pražská tržnice market, on the Karlín side on Rohanské nábřeží with an exit onto the cycle path leading along the flood barrier and subsequently to the planned public space at the Rohanský ostrov development area.
- Access to the footbridge from Štvanice Island was also required.
- The footbridge spans the riverbed for 38 meters between Karlín and Štvanice and 149 meters between Štvanice and Holešovice.
