Work starts on Gogolińska

Thanks to 'a Neighbour' (as opposed to 'Neighbour') for the tip-off about construction work that's getting going on ul. Gogolińska, and for pics. This is a little-known part of Jeziorki, tucked into the extreme south-west corner of Ursynów and indeed Warsaw, across the railway tracks from the station. Gogolińska runs down towards Nowa Iwiczna; as it reaches Warsaw's border, the asphalt stops and a dirt track carries on southwards.

Below: from the junction with ul. Karczunkowska, the proto-Park+Ride by W-wa Jeziorki station (now used by about 50 cars a day, parking along ul Gogolińska). In the distance, a digger.

Below: a dumper truck delivers soil to the site, which has suffered from flooding the past. The plot has been advertised as being up for sale, with planning permission.

A few days later, while waiting for a train to town, I snapped the pic below showing the whole site from the platform. Ah! the wonders of a lens that zooms out to 10mm (15mm full-frame equivalent) and a polarising filter! Soon, this field will start to fill up with brickwork; I guess there will be people living here within 24 months.

And I also noticed some more construction work under way along ul. Karczunkowska, closer to home. The sign says this will be a single-family house (budynek mieszkalny jednorodzinny).

Let's hope the city authorities connect this house to the station and to Puławska by pavement!

More from Gogolińska very soon.
