In addition, the PlexMap Planner will be used to develop a tool for integrating and visualizing the city\u2019s own urban development projects and designs. Chur will also use PlexMap Oblique to display its own oblique aerial images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A particular focus is on the detailed development of the \u201cChur West\u201d area. As part of a joint project between the Rhaetian Railway (RhB) and the city, a new station is being built in Chur West, featuring a barrier-free, multimodal transport hub with public transport connections extending beyond Chur. In addition to transport-specific and technical facilities, the station will be optimally accessible for trains, buses, PostAuto services, as well as bicycle and pedestrian traffic, to keep pace with the future growth of the Chur West district. An attractive station square with a public meeting area and a bicycle station for 170 bikes will also be created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Photo: View of Chur in June 2010.
