An urban cable car could address both issues.<\/p>\n<p>According to current plans, a 10-passenger monocable gondola lift is to connect the hillside suburb of Opicina with the coastal district of Barcola-Bovedo. There, the line makes a 90-degree turn and runs along the coast to the Porto Vecchio station. Nearby are a conference center, museums, and a cruise terminal. From there, the cable car will travel along the wide road between the old port warehouses, ending at Pier IV in the center of Trieste.<\/p>\n<p>The selected 4.15-kilometer route thus offers a continuous connection between Opicina and the city center, with two intermediate stations along the Mediterranean coast. Additionally, it serves as a revitalizing axis for the emerging port district.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-2 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\";

Coming from Slovenia or via the Italian highways, they will be able to park in Opicina and reach the city center in twelve minutes by cable car,\u201d said Bernetti.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A two-story parking garage with 400 spaces and bus stops will be built at the Opicina station.

Until now, they\u2019ve been poorly connected to each other and to the city center. \u201cThe cable car will link both locations in just six minutes,\u201d Bernetti said.<\/p>\n<h3>Cable car as a tourist attraction<\/h3>\n<p>The fourth goal is to market the cable car as a tourist attraction. \u201cThe cabins will offer scenic views, allow bikes onboard, and connect the city center to nearby mountains and park &amp; ride facilities,\u201d Bernetti added.<\/p>\n<h3>Cable car and its environment<\/h3>\n<p>An in-depth analysis of the origindestination matrix, route planning, and modal shift projected a capacity of 5,000 passengers and 10,000 trips per day \u2013 taking into account the future development of Trieste and its old port area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe environmental impact of the cable car will be minimal. The northern nature reserve will only be touched at its edge, and the CO\u2082 footprint will be relatively low,\u201d emphasized Bernetti. Furthermore, the interventions will be offset by new green areas, conservation zones, and tree planting.<\/p>\n<p>Heritage conservation in the old port will also be respected, with the cable car closely integrated into district planning. \u201cThe port consists of four corridors \u2013 the waterfront by the sea, the Culture Line in the second row, the Nature Line with the cable car and green spaces in corridor three, and the already implemented Open City Line completing the area,\u201d explained Bernetti.<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row

All of these went through public consultation phases, as required by law. These included public information events, topicspecific workshops, and hearings involving numerous stakeholder groups.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cInvolving the public takes a lot of time, carries the risk of lacking political responsibility, and often meets with low public interest, as people generally don\u2019t find planning processes exciting,\u201d said Bernetti.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Additionally, it raises the question of who actually participates \u2013 often it\u2019s so-called NIMBYs (\u201cNot in my backyard\u201d), people who oppose changes in their immediate surroundings. Expert opinions are frequently disregarded or given little attention.<\/p>\n<h3>Cable car &amp; current status<\/h3>\n<p>The planning phase for Trieste\u2019s cable car is complete. A local urban planning variation still needs city council approval. The final project design is ready and can now be reviewed by a conference of all involved authorities, Bernetti concluded: \u201cConstruction could begin by the end of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-builder-row .fusion-layout-column.gradient-column-14 .fusion-column-wrapper:before {content: \"\";
