On November 24 Sofia mayor Boiko Borissov and chief architect Petar Dikov presented a second version of Dikov's four-year programme to deal with traffic jams in Sofia.
Traffic jams would be unclogged by closing off the city centre, Dnevnik daily said.

The programme would require over 3 billion leva funding, 1.2 billion of which would be paid by the Municipality. The remaining amount was expected to come from the state, European funds and public-private partnership.

In 2006, when Dikov took office, he presented his first version of a four-year plan to solve Sofia's traffic problems, which would require 1.5 billion leva in funding. The new programme was an extended version and according to the chief architect there would be no problems attracting funding.

The new version of the plan intends to solve Sofia's traffic problem by diverting traffic away from the centre. The subway and its adjacent parking lots would be used to that aim. At the end of 2008 the subway would have to reach the Mladost 1 residential district. The extension of this line to the far end of the Mladost district and the airport had been postponed for 2010, Dnevnik daily said. In 2008 the construction of subway's second line, from the Nadezhda overhead crossing through the central railway station, the National Palace of Culture (NDK) to Kempinski Hotel Zografski would begin. It owuld be constructed with EU money and be ready by 2011.

The Municipality hoped that people would leave their car at the subway stations and travel to the centre by subway. To that aim free municipal parking lots would be built, first in the Mladost and Lyulin residential districts. Their construction would start in 2008. Long-promised construction of underground parking lots in the centre of the city was expected to start as well. The Municipality promised it would create bicycle lanes from the residential districts to the subway stations and the city centre, Dnevnik daily reported.

Part of the measures to reduce traffic jams would be new parking regulations and the creation of a traffic agency, which would implement control on restrictions. New parking regulations would include a ban sidewalk-parking and a 200 leva fine for violators. The new regulation would remove the parking-subscriptions for the centre of the city and constructors would be obliged to include one  parking space per every 100 sq m new residential area they build.

Other measures to reduce traffic jams included widening roads and creating new routes.

Dikov said that one of the city's biggest problems were the expropriation procedures, which were slowing down projects. Land owners demanded unrealistically high prices and the court would tend to grant their claims. Out of 2 billion leva allocated for construction, 450 million would go to expropriation of land, Dikov estimated.
