Special Species Conservation in Railway Planning
To implement public transport for eastern HafenCity and Little Grasbrookhafen, an extension of the U4 line from the HafenCity University to the Chicago Square stop is planned. This should ensure high quality public transport development for residents and visitors alike. As part of the planning permission, OECOS GmbH generated a special species conservation analysis on behalf of Hamburger Hochbahn AG. The project achieved greater planning security through the detailed examination of the prohibition of Article 44 BNatSchG and a final expert evaluation and recommendations.
