Environmental Impact Assessment Public Notice: This Subway Station in Beijing's Core Area Will Be Renovated

The Beihai North Station on Line 6 is located near Beihai Park. However, due to the limited space of the station square and the serious problem of bicycles occupying the roads, this station in the core area of the capital's functions, especially Exit B, appears messy.

However, Exit B of Beihai North Station is going to be renovated. The official website of Beijing Infrastructure Investment Co., Ltd. is currently publicizing the Environmental Impact Assessment Report Form for the Renovation and Improvement Project of Beihai North Subway Station and Its Surrounding Public Spaces.

After the renovation, the station will be integrated and connected with the Longtoujing Micro Park. An activity area, a station square will be set up, and a bicycle parking area with 142 parking spaces will be added to form a high - quality public green space.

Beihai North Station is a subway station on Line 6 of the Beijing Rail Transit. It is located on the west side of the north gate of Beihai Park. The station has three entrances and exits, A, B, and D. Among them, Exit B is located in the northeast, north of Di'anmen West Street.

Exit B to be renovated this time is located in the Longtoujing Micro Park, and the renovation area is about 3,300 square meters. Since the area around Beihai North Station is a key area for the historical protection and cultural inheritance of the old city, with rich historical resources and high historical protection requirements, the planning strategy is to take the overall protection of traditional courtyards as the base of the spatial form, supplement and improve public service facilities through methods such as leaving blank spaces and increasing greenery, and create a more comfortable and livable urban environment.

According to the environmental impact assessment publicity, the main projects of this renovation include the renovation of the ground pavilion and air shaft, courtyard project, environmental protection project, and greening project. Among them, the original 6.5 - meter - high air shaft will be changed into two 1.2 - meter - low air shafts. The courtyard project is to build an activity area and a station square of 1,122 square meters, and at the same time, a new bicycle parking area with 142 parking spaces will be added.

The greening project is to connect the renovated square in front of the subway station with the micro - park space, and the greening area will be integrated to 1,018 square meters.

Let's take a look at the renderings after the renovation. Exit B of Beihai North Station after the renovation not only has an ancient charm but also the area is very clean, fresh, and spacious.

The environmental impact assessment shows that the construction period of the renovation project is expected to be 12 months.
