Project description
and objectives:
|
Sibiu has been selected as Cultural Capital of Europe for 2007 and is seeking
to rehabilitate key aspects of its infrastructure, including:
-
rehabilitation of a rail/bus/road interchange (Station Square)
-
rehabilitation of selected city streets
-
public lighting in the Historic Zone.
A further component of the proposed project will entail commercialisation and
involvement of the private sector in Sibiu’s public transport company.
|
Transition
impact:
|
The Project will help the City to prepare for EU Accession by building up
capacity to prepare and implement major infrastructure projects. It will also
improve the performance of the public transport system through increased
commercialisation of the public transport company.
This will include implementation of a multi-year public service contract
between the City and the public transport company as well as the involvement
of the private sector, as appropriate.
The terms of a public service contract are expected to include
(a) a transparent multi-year payment for service
(b) utilising targets and incentives to increase efficiency
(c) making the transport company responsible for investment planning and
financing.

Environmental impact:
|
The project was screened B/0.
There are unlikely to be any significant environmental impacts associated with
the project and a number of very tangible benefits are likely to arise. The
proposed project will contribute to the preparation of 2007 Sibiu Cultural
Capital of Europe .
An Environmental Analysis, which is currently underway, will identify all
potential environmental impacts and develop an environmental action plan
(EAP), to ensure compliance with both national and EU environmental, health
and safety requirements.

(1) procurement and design
(2) project management
