The new detailed master plan for the western part of Sofia city centre, the area between the Hristo Botev, Alexander Stamboliiski, Maria Luiza boulevards and Pirotska Street envisions the construction of new office buildings, more green spaces, but would also cut into one of the main thoroughfares linking the central part of the city to Lyulin district.

The northern carriageway of Knyaz Alexander Doundoukov Boulevard from Tzum shopping centre onward to Lyulin will be transformed into walking area and all traffic will be diverted to the southern carriageway, Maria Dobreva of the urban planning department at Sofia municipality told The Sofia Echo on September 4.

This area will turned into a park, which will continue on to the Catholic Church, Dobreva said. The new church will also be surrounded by gardens, which will increase the surface of the green areas to 1.24ha from the current allocation of 0.8ha, she said.
