Kobylisy

Kobylisy is a lower middle to upper middle class neighborhood in Praha 8. The area is effectively made up of two separate neighborhoods, Ďáblice and Kobylisy. Ďáblice is an area with lots of paneláks, whereas Kobylisy is an older area of duplexes and walk up apartments. So, I would propose splitting them into two areas along Čumpelíková. Kobylisy is also home to the Kobylisy Shooting Range, a place where many Czechoslovaks were murdered by Nazis during World War II. Housing consists mostly of duplexes and houses built during the First Republic, though some walk up apartments are present as well, mostly on Klapkova and near the Kobylisy Metro Station on Line C. A few paneláks line Horňátecká and Pod Sídlištěm, but otherwise aren't very numerous in Kobylisy proper. One really nice thing to see in the area is that arterial roads are much more pedestrian friendly than many other large roads in Praha. Sidewalks are wide, crosswalks frequent, and speed limits low on most of these roads, except for Horňátecká. The many types of housing in Kobylisy help create a fairly diverse area, and a lively transit hub. In addition to Line C, the 3, 10, and 17 trams stop at Kobylisy, all with frequent service. Frequent, "Metrobus" routes 102, 144, 177, 183, and 200, standard city bus routes 152, 162, and 169, and regional bus routes 370, 371, 372, 373, and 374 also serve Kobylisy Station. And that's just the daytime services! In addition to routes serving Kobylisy Station, Metrobus route 136 and standard bus route 295 also serve the neighborhood, though not the station proper. Apartments on Klapkova and near Kobylisy Station usually include ground level commercial space, which gives the neighborhood gathering places, such as little markets and restaurants. Bigger commercial spaces, such as banks and computer stores, are near Kobylisy Station. The main suggestion I have for Kobylisy would be to establish some sort of historic district or the like for some, but not all, of the duplexes and homes built during the First Republic, as their proximity to a metro station could cause them to be destroyed. Finally, I would add bike lanes on Horňátecká, which is definitely wide enough for them.
