The Budapest Transport Center (BKK) has submitted a bid to the European Union to finance to its plans to replace trees and renew public spaces along the city's Grand Boulevard, BKK said on Tuesday.
The metropolitan project aims to increase the number of trees, add more green surfaces and provide more room for pedestrians, BKK said, adding that the city was seeking HUF 5.47 billion (EUR 14.2m) of EU funding.
Earlier, BKK won some HUF 4.5 billion in community funding for cycle paths, making pedestrian crossings wheelchair-accessible and other logistical developments serving shops along the boulevard, the company noted.
