Troieshchyna

Troieshchyna is an outskirt located on the city's northern left bank and is administratively part of the Desnianskyi District.

The neighbourhood is a large whole-planned bedroom district housing the population of at least 240,000 residents[1] but also includes a small industrial area.

The area suffers from inadequate transport links to the rest of the city.

Kyiv City authorities have at one point decided on extending the Kyiv Metro system to Troieshchyna, either through the proposed Livoberezhna line or the Podilsko–Vyhurivska line which is currently under construction.

However, the cost of building a new metro line was too high, and the proposal was scrapped in favor of modernizing an existing light rail system.
