The project aims to promote the development of a multimodal public transport network with rail as the backbone of the public transport system by establishing a public transport connection point at the Šmerlis railway station in Riga, while promoting micro-mobility in overall mobility. By developing the infrastructure of the public transport connection point ‘Šmerlis’, the following activities included in the project will be implemented: development of infrastructure necessary for the movement of pedestrians in accordance with the principles of universal design, thus promoting an orderly and accessible environment for all groups of society, including people with functional impairments and residents of different ages; reconstruction of temporary parking areas and carriageways of public accessible hard cover, as well as construction of access roads in order to ensure convenient and safe access to the connection point to be developed, while also ensuring convenient access to public transport stops (railway and bus); construction of lighting necessary to improve the safety of the project area; greening of the territory, installation of benches for outdoor use in order to create a more pleasant and comfortable environment for everyone. These improvements will contribute to the accessibility and comfort of the public outdoor space, providing recreation opportunities for different groups of the population, including seniors, persons with reduced mobility and parents with small children; the installation of bicycle racks and a bicycle repair station, which will facilitate the change of mobility habits for residents who intend to use the Šmerlis railway station as a transfer point; the reconstruction of the water main on Bērzpils Street, as there is a significant risk of damage to this infrastructure. Installing a free crane to ensure the availability of quality drinking water in the public environment.Achieving the objective of the project and establishing a public transport connection point at the Šmerlis railway station would contribute to the development of the public transport network by rail as the backbone of the public transport system and at the same time strengthen micro-mobility in overall mobility. Diverse population groups would be given the opportunity to stay and move around in a well-equipped and safe public outdoor space, promoting comfortable and environmentally friendly movement in the city.
