The stall sales will temporarily disappear from the Zelný trh in Brno due to repairs

Brno - The Brno city council is preparing to renovate Zelný trh, a well-known square in the city center. During the reconstruction, stall sales will likely be limited, and the Brno-střed district council will probably move them to another location in the city. Zelný trh will receive new pavement during the repairs costing nearly 54 million crowns, water features will be restored, and the parking system will change. Work is expected to begin in October 2013.
     Zelný trh is an important square in the center of Brno, with the well-known Husa na provázku theater at its upper end, the Reduta theater at the lower part, and popular markets with fruits and vegetables held around the fountain every day. "The intention to renovate the square has been approved by the city council, but legislative conditions still need to be met,” said city spokesperson Pavel Žára regarding the reconstruction. About 80 percent of the repair costs will be covered by the EU, and it is expected to be completed in the autumn of 2014.
     After the renovation, the parking system in the square will be changed, and cars should occupy less space than they do now. During the repairs, it is also likely that market stalls will be relocated. “This is a matter for the Brno-střed council. Moving to Moravské or Římské náměstí is likely being considered,” said Žára.
     With the renovation of Zelný trh, Brno continues a series of reconstructions of streets, squares, and parks in the city center. For the next year, preparations are underway for the renovation of Milada Horáková Street, an important traffic artery that directs cars from the center towards Svitavy. The parks Koliště around the Janáček Theater are also being renovated. The modifications of Orlí, Měnínská, and Novobranská streets in the city center were completed in the autumn.
