Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya Line - Recent Developments and Future Plans

Recent Developments and Future Plans

As most of the stations on this line are very old, constant renovations are taking place restoring them. The stations Vladimirskaya and Narvskaya were closed for reconstruction from autumn 2006 until 2008. The controversial mosaic of Stalin located on Narvskaya station behind the service room is still subject to debate on whether to open it to the public. Plans to expand the line southward are currently being discussed.

Famous quotes containing the words developments, future and/or plans:

    “I don’t wanna live in a city where the only cultural advantage is that you can make a right turn on a red light.
    Freedom from labor itself is not new; it once belonged among the most firmly established privileges of the few. In this instance, it seems as though scientific progress and technical developments had been only taken advantage of to achieve something about which all former ages dreamed but which none had been able to realize.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    “We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    “One who winks the eyes plans perverse things; one who compresses the lips brings evil to pass.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 16:30.
