In the Sídlisko KVP neighborhood of Košice, construction of a new parking lot on Čordákova Street will begin on November 9. The number of parking spaces will more than triple, and it will be easier for drivers to maneuver. The work is expected to last until about mid-December, so drivers will have to put up with temporary parking restrictions during this time.
What Will Change on Čordákova Street
The new parking lot will be built at the “blind” curve on Čordákova Street. The current four parallel parking spaces will be replaced with 13 perpendicular ones. According to local authorities, this will not only increase the number of parking spaces but also make driving and maneuvering in this area more convenient.
To achieve this, part of the lawn between the road and the kindergarten will have to be removed. However, the parking lot surface will be covered with eco-tiles (ecoraster)—they allow rainwater to permeate into the soil and prevent puddles from forming.
Cost and Timeline of the Work
Local authorities are asking drivers to pay attention to temporary traffic signs and not to park in the construction zone. The work is expected to be completed around mid-December 2026.
The construction will be carried out by Cesty Košice, s. r. o. The company won the bid by offering the lowest price—just over 47,000 euros, including VAT. As a result, the district saved about a quarter of the expected cost. The parking problem remains one of the most pressing issues for Sídlisko KVP, where the number of cars is constantly growing, and the introduction of a resident parking system has been postponed until March 2027.
