Renovation of Bus Stations across the Baltic Sea Region

In the heart of Riga, the city's Tiefbau- und Grünflächenamt has completed the renovation of two bus stops on Rigaer Straße, marking the completion of the current phase of a larger project aimed at making public transportation more accessible for all.

The renovation work, which began on the Parkside of Rigaer Straße in Ostseeviertel, has seen the installation of new curbs and tactile paving stones to assist visually impaired individuals with orientation and facilitate boarding the bus. The entire area of the bus stops has been raised by approximately 20 meters for better accessibility.

The Montessori School neighbourhood is not the only area to benefit from these improvements. In total, the Tiefbau- und Grünflächenamt has renovated a total of 29 bus stops throughout the city, with 15 of these completed since the beginning of 2022. This ongoing project is part of a commitment to making public transportation barrier-free and accessible for visually impaired individuals.

The renovation work on Rigaer Straße specifically has been carried out at the bus stops near the Montessori School. The authority responsible for this redesign, while not explicitly named in the provided search results, is dedicated to ensuring that Riga's public spaces are inclusive and accessible for all.

The work on the bus stops on Rigaer Straße is now complete, with the project expected to be finished by September 5th. As the project continues to expand in 2026, more bus stops throughout the city will undergo similar renovations, ensuring a more accessible and inclusive public transportation system for all Riga residents.
