Modernist simplicity - Mies van der Rohe would have been proud. Building complete, not many tenants as yet. Perhaps getting here is putting off prospective clients. How about PKP building a new station between W-wa Dawidy and W-wa Okęcie and calling it W-wa Wyczółki?
Having said that, ZTM, the urban transport authority, has significantly increased the number of buses coming this way; as well as the established 148, 165 and 306 routes, there's now the rush hours-only 331 that links Wilanowska Metro with this part of Warsaw, while the 575 running between Wilanowska and the airport now calls at intermediate stops rather then ferrying fresh air. And a cycle path (although did planners seriously believe that cyclists would cross ul. Poleczki twice rather than continue along the pavement between ul. Tango and ul. Taneczna?).Below: a string of buses turning onto Poleczki from ul. Łączyny. Note the hot-water pipes, right foreground.
And on, towards Platan Park, past the site of a new Holiday Inn (due to open in Autumn 2012, after the football finals), close to the airport, convenient for the new south Warsaw business district. Below: looking west towards Poleczki Business Park.
Below: Platan Park looking south - in the distance (click to enlarge), new warehouses are emerging from the soil. And there's Hoover - a familiar name to one who spent so much of his life in the UK living near to the Hoover factory in Perivale...
* Thanks to the Młochów Blog, I discover that today was Teacher's Day, most schools closed. That explains it. Shows how many mummy's boys and girls get driven to school.This time last year:
Who am I? (Kim ja jestem?)
This time two years ago:
First snow, 2009. Ghastly!
This time three years ago:
Train links to town improving
This time four years ago:
A beautiful Sunday, south of Warsaw
