Wrocławska Street has been thoroughly reconstructed along the section from Kazimierza Wielkiego Street to Czarnieckiego Street. The section of Kazimierza Wielkiego Street from Wrocławska Street to Czarnieckiego Street was also reconstructed. Sybiraks’ Square covers an area of more than 1,500 square metres. Its surface features paving stones and greenery. There are lawns, rows of trees and ornamental shrubs. Benches and rubbish bins have been installed. The street carriageways, parking spaces—which did not previously exist here—and driveways to properties are also made of paving stones. In addition to paving stones, non-slip slabs were laid on the new pavements. Previously, there was no sewage system in this area. The entire square now has a rainwater drainage system. Thirty new parking spaces have been created, including three for people with disabilities. The entire area is illuminated by street lamps, while the monument itself has nighttime illumination.
Let us recall that the Legnica branch of the Siberian Exiles’ Association had campaigned for the monument to be built. The monument’s design, created by Grzegorz Niemyjski, was approved by the Council for the Protection of the Memory of Struggle and Martyrdom. The total cost of the project—the reconstruction of Wrocławska Street and construction of the monument—amounted to more than PLN 2.3 million. The city received PLN 250,000 from the Polish Copper Foundation to co-finance construction of the monument.
Legnica has gained a new, representative site commemorating national history. At the same time, residents of this part of Zakaczawie have received an elegant place for recreation, and the quality of the local transport system has also improved.
