Brno - Four entities have appealed against the zoning decision for the construction of the new Brno train station in the so-called riverbank position. Thus, it has not yet become legally binding, and the relevant authority must address the objections contained in the appeals. It is still being discussed who will handle the appeals due to possible bias among the officials of the Brno City Hall, said Deputy Mayor Robert Kotzian (ODS) today, according to ČTK.

    The appeals were filed by the civic associations Děti Země - Klub za udržitelnou dopravu, Stará Osada - Židenice, as well as Tomáš Jílek as an individual and the company M.B. Keramika. "Once it is resolved who will handle the appeals, we will start discussing their substantive content. I am ready to address the objections and also to have a new noise study conducted, although I do not believe that the current one has shortcomings," Kotzian said.
    He is also prepared to discuss with representatives of those who filed the appeals. "In discussions, we can resolve many matters, and I think that's the best we can do. It is better than sending appeals. The question, however, is whether they want to discuss substantively," said Kotzian.
    According to him, there isn't much time to resolve the appeals. The most depends on the state administration bodies that must also express their opinions on the appeals. "In the case of the previous appeal, obtaining their position took longer than would have been advisable," Kotzian stated.
    The zoning decision regarding the new train station is already the third in a row. According to Kotzian, it is necessary to find a general agreement on the station's location within three to four years. Civic associations advocate for the variant of the new station under Petrov, which is why they are trying to fight against the station by the river by all permissible means. "If we do not find an agreement, there will probably be no new station, and we will face the problems of the current one," Kotzian pointed out.
    The Ministry of Transport is gradually completing feasibility studies for both variants. They will be finished in the first quarter of next year. Based on them, the ministry intends to decide which variant it will support. The construction of both variants would cost approximately 20 billion crowns.
