Karlovy Vary are preparing to construct three new parking garages, which will offer over a thousand parking spaces

Karlovy Vary are planning the construction of the first three parking garages. The first step will be project documentation. The parking garages are intended to address the long-standing shortage of parking spaces, not only around the spa center but also in residential areas and housing estates.

The city has not yet decided on the financing model but may involve private investors, according to Deputy Mayor Lubomír Kovář (ANO). "We are furthest along with two parking garages. One is on Polská Street with a capacity of over 600 spaces. We have already approved the contract for the tender documentation. The same procedure will soon follow for the parking garage near the gallery, which will have a smaller capacity of around 300 spaces due to space constraints," said Kovář.

Another parking garage is planned on Čankovská Street, where there is also a noticeable lack of parking spaces. The city plans to build the parking garages around the spa area. Entry of cars is significantly restricted there, but visitors often have difficulty finding parking spaces near the center, both free and in paid zones.

The plan to build parking garages in the spa town is not new. The city attempted to build them about 15 years ago. However, they did not reach an agreement with a private investor who wanted to build several parking garages in the city. A subsequent court case lasted about seven years.
