Mytishchi is a small town. A little more than 220 thousand inhabitants live in it. And a good part goes to work in Moscow.
In the morning, the road turns into a whole epic. You need to either get to the station and transfer by train to Moscow, or get by buses and minibuses to the metro. You’ll collect all the traffic jams while you are driving.
The authorities have long understood that it would be nice to build a metro in Mytishchi. They even gave the name - Chelobitevo metro station. In honor of the village where it is planned to be located. So we’ll talk about how the plans of the authorities have changed and what the residents of the city should expect.
What kind of station?
The promised metro station is a continuation of the Kaluga-Riga metro line. According to the construction project, it should be located behind the Medvedkovo station. Back in 2012, it was planned to begin construction. But it did not work out, the project was stopped.
New attempts to begin construction were undertaken in 2016. Again nothing. Such an important construction project for residents of the city was frozen for an indefinite period.
Where should the Chelobitevo metro station be located? About it below.
Location
Where did you plan to build the station? At the intersection of Blagoveshchenskaya street and Chelobitevskoe highway.
Somewhere in this area, approximately. Near the Volkovsky highway.
When is the opening?
But this is a very good question. The opening of the Chelobitevo metro station was scheduled for 2020. Then the construction dates were postponed. Authorities claimed that the station will begin to be built after 2030.
Not so long ago, information appeared about the cancellation of the construction of the metro in Mytishchi. The final decision on this issue will be made in 2019.
Why cancel?
On the map of Mytishchi, there is no Chelobityevo metro station. And it is not known whether. So why did the authorities, who understand the need for this construction, backtrack?
Everything is simple. In Mytishchi, open the metro here, people will come from nearby cities. These are several thousand people at least. There will be a huge overload of traffic flows, the subway can only be reached from the start, as they say. And on the Kaluga-Riga line collapse will occur.
Is the situation better now? To get to Moscow, you have to use several types of transport or stand in huge traffic jams. The electric trains are overloaded, in the mornings a crush and crowds at the station. People travel from near and far cities. Try on weekdays to break into the train, which follows from Alexandrov, for example. This is from the realm of fiction.
That's right, but collapse has not yet arisen. Authorities prefer not to risk a shaky balance.
Light or classic
Did you know that there were disputes about the Chelobitevo metro station? Which subway to build: regular or light? Light subway means ground movement of trains. It is unlikely that he would be of much use.
But if you choose between standing for hours in traffic jams, storming trains in the morning and the metro, it’s better to have a light metro than not at all. At the very least, this will help unload the rest of the transport.
What do the residents say?
Metro station "Chelobitevo" Mytishchi needs. Firstly, it will help reduce the flow of people on other modes of transport. Secondly, it will slightly unload the Medvedkovo station. After all, not only the inhabitants of the city of Mytishchi come here. Here are all the nearest cities. Why are those who live in Medvedkovo and use this metro indignant.
In fact, it’s hard to get into the subway in the morning. Rush hour is a completely separate topic that needs special discussion. Whoever was at least once in the Moscow metro at the time of an intense crush knows himself what it is.
What is the result?
What actions related to the construction of the Chelobitevo metro station are being taken? None. As a result, we have “frozen” construction, discontented residents and complete uncertainty on the part of the authorities. As mentioned above, the final decision will be made by the Moscow authorities. It is scheduled for 2019.
Interesting facts about the city
Metro is very good. We figured out the possible construction of the Chelobitevo metro station. Whether it will be built or not, there is no exact answer to this question.
I would like to talk about the main interesting facts regarding the city of Mytishchi and the construction of the metro in it.
Mytishchi received the status of the city in 1925. Before that, they were a village.
Since the main topic of the article is the construction of the metro, it should be noted that the city has a plant for the construction of subway cars. It is known to many under the name of ZAO Metrovagonmash.
When, in the nineties, the first talk was about the need to build a metro in Mytishchi, at first they wanted to start work at the intersection of Mira and Yubileynaya streets. There used to be the village of Yadreevo, and now there are many modern high-rise buildings. For some reason, this idea faded. And at the site of the proposed metro station a monument was erected to the Mytishchi water supply system.
Conclusion
The metro station "Chelobitevo" in Mytishchi would not hurt. It’s more convenient for people, less stress. Perhaps the authorities will agree with this. But the answer we will hear only after a year.
