- This is the best place for a new freight terminal in Bergen – BergensAvisen

There is a memorandum that BA has requested access, and which was released today.

before it is known that Jernbaneverket recommend two locations: Unneland in Arna and from Birs plant and into Hordnes forests Rådalen.

Commune professionals have been involved in the work of the so-called concept paper that Jernbaneverket is responsible for, but they were not a part of the last filtering stage.

they believe that the last screening is done on a too weak scientific basis. Commune professionals brings up three options. Haukås, Unneland and Rådal.

The municipality believes that Jernbaneverket has placed the freight terminal at Haukås error in its report, and believe that it can be done much better. They criticize the report in fairly sharp terms, for professionals to be.

– The report also described the terminal to be narrow. We can not see that this is correct then the terminal pin may have a width of 200 m. The terminal can be easily adjusted so that the leveling costs are reduced, it says in the note.

Will destroy nature area

Of the options mean municipal professionals that Haukås north in Åsane is best. Much of this is due to the construction of cargo terminal at Unneland and Rådal will destroy great natural resources.

– Since much of Haukås status as construction site in the municipal development plan, and since development is not complete planned, the possibility bigger to make adjustments than in Rådal.

Haukås and Rådal is estimated to have about the same cost, 7.2 billion.

Hordnes the forest consists of agriculture, nature and recreation areas, it says in the note.

– for Rådal alternative would be difficult to find more commercial space without increasing conflicts with agriculture, community and outdoor activities. the proposed location is also a consequence of the terminal placed outside the former landfills, as it will be costly to touch, said the note.

as of today discussed the freight terminal in the center of opponents around Fana and Arna happily as if it may lie in the center forever. But Jernbaneverkets strategy director Lars Stendal stated that relocation is inevitable at some point some 20 years into the future. The reason is the lack of space that will come as a result of increased population and freight growth.

Only option

memorandum was released today, but already last week went Aps County Mayor Anne Gine Hestetun out in BT and would discuss a localization of the freight terminal in Åsane. Then she met with arguments that this place is far away from the center of gravity for goods collection in Bergen.

Commune professionals considering Haukås as better than Rådal, and both these places better than Unneland. They think that it is problem solved in relation to road links to add the freight terminal at Hylkje, because new E39 between Åsane and Norhordlandsbrua before the freight terminal.

– Haukås is perhaps the only option it is possible to follow up planning in the short term. It is also possible to start mass replacement and landscaping on part of the site, says the memorandum.
