The Central Finance and Contracting Agency (CFLA) has concluded that the new version of the plan by the Riga public transport company Rigas Satiksme to build a tram line on Skanstes Street meets all the requirements and the project may continue. The CFLA has also concluded that the project is in line with the European Union funding requirements on the development of transport infrastructure.
According to the CFLA, the evaluation of the quality of the project may now start. This evaluation will be done by independent experts from the European Commission. Subsequently, the European Commission will take the final decision in three months or later.
After evaluating the earlier version of the project, the CFLA pointed to several shortcomings and asked for additional risk analysis concerning the project implementation schedule, as well as the State Cultural Monument Protection Inspection’s opinion about the project. The new version of the plan also lists the Cultural Monument Protection Inspection’s conditions that will have to be observed during the implementation of the project.
