Riga Metro Map Pdf Riga metro map pdf Continue A metro is planned in Riga. It seems to be a simple phrase, but people who were associated with the subway, it is just a storm of emotions, because in preparation of the construction of the subway was supposed so much effort and time that such a subway just had to build. But here we will discuss the metro that was planned, and everything was planned up to the specific opening date of the subway - it was planned to open in 1996, then moved to this date in 2000, and then in 2021. But all these dates were broken by a simple event - the collapse of the Soviet Union, after which many plans will be put on the back burner. As a result, the metro in its original form was never built in the city. However, after Latvia seceded, the city began to offer its plans that a metro could be created in the city. There were a lot of plans, starting with light rail and ending with a regular tram. To implement at least one of these plans will have to spend a considerable amount of money, and the state, which at that time was not and several years, could not provide even the minimum cost of construction of the subway. Therefore, in order to avoid numerous problems with money, the real underground decided to forget completely. Now we are considering only those options that can be financed by foreign investors, in particular, the most popular project is the city tram, which will be built on the same level, and as a result, the city will have many bridges and tunnels. Plans, as you can see, is a good plan collapsed, and then completely forgotten. But since the general had the idea to build a subway in a city with a population of a million people right? And it simply does not exist - even in the next 20 years, the analysis of population growth is not planned to jump to a million people. But still. Then consider that each union republic should have at least one underground, or even a parody of it - metrotram. Therefore, in 1966 (as long ago it was) it was decided to plan the Metrotram in Riga. The plan envisages the creation of a tram that moves freely around the city on the surface, but in the center of the city it had to descend through shallow tunnels. The depth of the burial should have been no more than 6 meters. Therefore, a simple tram suddenly turned into a metrotram. But then the plan changed again - the metrotram Riga included paper in the usual subway just because it passed through Riga by a large number of tourists in jurmala. Thanks to the presence of such a resort, there were only more people in the capital, and therefore it was necessary that the city could provide transportation for everyone. The new target consisted of three underground lines and passed through the city, so that in the future it was possible to create an additional line or simply expand existing ones. As a result, every year the plan became more complex and cumbersome, now it came to its implementation, the Soviet Union collapsed, and the plan ceased to be profitable. Such was the sad story of the metro in Riga. Now there is nothing in the city, except the future will be built at least a tram line.

By 2021, it was planned to build three lines with a total area of 33 stations, but in the late 1980s, during the Singing Revolution, the entire project met with opposition and, combined with the fall of the Soviet Union, construction, which was planned to begin in 1990, never took place. The city's population has been declining due to emigration and negative population growth since 1990, making the prospects for a complete metro system, even with EU funding, unrealistic in the near future. In fact, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the possible construction of the metro was rarely publicly discussed, even rejected as unnecessary. The history of the Axonometric Plan for the placement of the Ujaras station, 1981 The idea of the Riga Metro originated in the mid-1970s, when city planners were studying how to integrate transport systems into the capital. Several concepts were proposed, including the reconstruction of the city's railway or the installation of high-speed tram lines. However, officials regarded both proposals as ineffective. The most pressing issue was that the population of Riga is growing rapidly and is expected to eventually exceed one million, which is a requirement for the construction of the metro in the Soviet Union. The Metrogiprotrans Institute in Moscow was to develop a metro layout, work out economic planning and develop a detailed design of the project itself. The technical and economic basis of the project was to be completed by 1978. Another three years were planned for further development and another nine years for of the first eight metro stations. According to this plan, the first underground line was to be opened in 1990. However, the development process continued with delays, resulting in the project's technical and economic planning being completed two years late in 1980. This was followed by another five-year delay, which slowed down construction work on the line and the metro station, which could not begin until all preparatory work was completed. Due to the difficult geological condition of the soils, the project of the first site in 1984 was redirected to the Leningrad Institute Lenmetroproject, which was more experienced in these conditions (Leningrad with similar geology). As a result, the opening date of the Riga Metro was postponed to 1997. The interior decoration of the stations was given to local architects who had experience after the development of the Riga Moscow Metro station. In 1986, the subway master plan was updated to include three lines instead of two. Despite the continuing delays, the first phase of the project was completed in 1989, its preparations for the construction phase began in 1986 and the construction phase was due in 1990 and the opening date is scheduled for 2000-2002. In the late 1980s, the project began to receive sharp criticism, and as a result of public discontent, combined with the fall of the Soviet Union, the planned construction in the 1990s never began. The City-Plan construction lines with the Metro Lines System 1986 Original plan provided for two lines, but then a third line was included. First plan Line 1: from Pleskodāle/Zolitūde to Purvciems/Dreilini Line 2: from Mīlgrāvis to Ziepniekkalns Second plan Line 1: Imanta-Centrs-Jugla Line 2: Dreilini/Pļavnieki-Centrs Line 3: Mežaparks-Centrs-Ziepniekkalns Line 2 extension: Centrs-Buļļi First section The first planned section was 8.3 km long, took 12 minutes to travel from one terminus to the other and had 8 stations (4 of which were deep below ground in the centre): Zasulauks, Agenskalns (formerly Aurora), Daugava (formerly Uzvaras), Station (former Central), Druzhba(Friendship) (formerly Kirov), Vidzeme market (formerly Rainis, Revolution), Oshkalny, VEF Project of Aurora station 1983 One of alternative projects of Central station 1983 One of alternative projects of Central station 1983 Project of Daugava station 1983 Project of Rainis station 1983 One of alternative projects of VEF station 1983 One of alternative projects of Zasulauks station 1983 One of alternative projects of Zasulauks station 1983 One of alternative projects of Zasulauks station 1983 Monetary issues The first metro in the Soviet Baltic republics were also to be the most expensive in the Soviet Union. It was estimated that the cost of one kilometer will be 25-26 million rubles. At the time, the Riga Metro It is planned that the metro in Minsk (Belarus) will be built at a price of 15 million rubles per kilometer. Officials in Riga are not very concerned about financing, as the necessary money comes mainly from Moscow. The budget of the Latvian SSR would have to be responsible for financing the railway depot (10-12 million rubles), engineering parts (2.5 million rubles) and station lobbies (4-5 million rubles). As a result, Riga had to spend less than 20 million rubles on the city metro. However, the city would be in competition for funding from Moscow, as Odessa and Omsk also sought financial assistance in the creation of their own subway systems at the same time. Criticism of the objections to the Riga Metro began to be raised as the final design proposal is being finalized.

  • Analyzing and Understanding the Latvian Environmental
    ANALYZING AND UNDERSTANDING THE LATVIAN ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT BY: MIKELIS I. BERZINS DATE: 5/15/15 Page | 2 Abstract Several distinctive environmental movements of the past century have had major influence on public policies in the United States. More generally, social movements that push environmental issues into the limelight have the potential for significantly altering public perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs, thus driving big policy changes. This thesis examines the Latvian environmental movement (1987-1990) that played a central role in mobilizing the Latvian people to turn against the Soviet Union’s control of Latvia and subsequently earn independence from the Soviet Union. The Latvian environmental movement took aim at the USSR’s policies that harmed Latvia’s treasured landscape and repressed the nature-centric roots of Latvian culture and nationalism. Yet, despite this initial national mobilization around environmental protection, and even with the presence of a powerful “Green” party coalition, the new Latvian national government has focused more on economic growth, infrastructure development, and other non-environmental policies since independence. The remnants of the national environmental movement instead are now found in scattered pockets of civic environmentalism, where local interests have taken up the mantle of environmental protection in the absence of strong government action. The primary intent of this thesis is to analyze, explore, and describe the Latvian environmental movement, and to document this change in Latvian environmentalism after the separation from the Soviet Union. This will be investigated by applying Weber’s (1999) comparative analytic framework for environmental movements to the Latvian case. Page | 3 Introduction and Significance Several distinctive environmental movements of the past century have had major influence on national and international policy in the United States: Preservationism (e.g., National Parks Act 1916), Conservationism (e.g., Forest Reserve and Management Acts 1891 and 1897; creation of U.S.

Introduction Prior to 1987, independent mass demonstrations in the Soviet Socialist Republic of Latvia, indeed, in the entire Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, were unheard of. Not only were they strictly forbidden by Soviet authorities, but the fear wrought by decades of repression seemed to make oppositional collective action very unlikely. While pockets of resistance and individual dissident efforts dotted the Soviet historical map, the masses were docile, going out on to the streets only in response to compulsory parades and marches designed to commemorate holidays like May Day. In 1986, a policy of greater openness in society, glasnost', was initiated by the new Secretary General of the Communist Party of the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev. Among the changes brought about by glasnost' was a greater tolerance by authorities of open expression in society, though this too was limited, as the policy was intended to strengthen rather than weaken the union.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction
    The Impact of Historical Conflicts and Cleavages on the Formation of New Political Oppositions in Latvia A Comparison of the Party System which has emerged in the 1990s to that of the 1920s and 30s with respect to continuity and change between the two Democratic Periods in Terms of Political Contrasts and Oppositions. Brita Skuland Institute of Political Science University of Oslo 2005 2 PREFACE At the time I began my thesis in 1992 at the Institute of Political Science, Oslo University, Latvia had restored independence and the first post -Soviet national elections were coming up. My initial interest concerned the inter -war democracy and its collapse in 1934. I was advised to include the outcome of the first post -Soviet elections and draw a line between the inter -war party system and the new one. I chose it as my topic, which I resumed working with in late 2002. The fourth post -Soviet national election had been held in Latvia in autumn 2002; the same number of elections as before the subversion of democracy in 1934. There were few sources about political history in Latvia available in Norwegian libraries in the earl y 1990s. Norges forskningsråd (Norwegian Research Council) sponsored a stay in Riga to look for additional sources. I received invaluable help from the staff at Riga University’s newly founded Institute of Politology. I would name especially head of the institute, Einars Semanis, and professor Feliciana Rajevska, who largely arranged my stay and programme and were generally forthcoming. Directors of the Baltic Institute of Social Science (Baltijas Datu Nams) Aldis Paulins and his successor Brigita Zepa ha ve been very helpful by providing results of post -election polls.
