RESEARCH ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF TRANSPORT LINKS BETWEEN KUDROVO, LENINGRAD REGION AND THE DISTRICTS ST. PETERSBURG

Paper examines the transport accessibility of the city of Kudrovo, bordering the Nevsky district of St. Petersburg. The study was conducted by the method of transport survey, which was carried out in the morning and evening rush hours. Activists also counted the number of pedestrians traveling to the city of Kudrovo from the metro station «Ulitsa Dybenko» through the wasteland. A survey was also conducted among residents and guests of Kudrovo about the convenience of existing public transport routes, and the degree of need to introduce tram and trolleybus lines. After analyzing the results of the survey, proposals were developed to improve the existing situation and divided them into two stages: hardware and strategic. At the hardware level, the author proposed to strengthen / weaken some tram routes, depending on the degree of their importance and congestion, to develop a new terminal station, it is proposed to extend some existing public transport routes in the city of Kudrovo, and create a number of terminal stations there. At the strategic level, it is proposed to lay a tram line along the main highway - European Avenue, trolleybus lines along Central Street, Prazhskaya Street and Stroiteley Avenue, as well as to build the Kudrovo transport hub, which includes a metro station, a bus station, a terminal station for trolleybuses and trams. The routes of the new trolleybuses and trams will be both radial (connection with the central regions) and tangential (connection with the nearest outlying areas - Frunzensky, Nevsky, Krasnogvardeysky). Thus, not only the transport accessibility of Kudrovo is improved, but also the ecological background of the city, since all routes will be transferred to electric traction.
