The criticized black columns blocking the view of the National Museum will be in the middle of the Václavák for at least a year

The article discusses public criticism of black utility poles obstructing views of the National Museum on Wenceslas Square in Prague. The mayor of Prague 1, Terezie Radoměřská (TOP 09), mentions that concerns about the visual impact have been raised through the city’s Development Commission. She emphasizes the need for technical infrastructure but stresses the importance of preserving the iconic view of the museum. Social media users express strong disapproval, calling the poles 'monoliths' and 'repulsive,' while noting the extensive number of such structures along the street. The Prague Transport Company (Dopravní podnik) states that replacing some poles with a cable system is planned for next spring, though current work focuses on laying tracks and resurfacing roads. The city acknowledges the issue but notes that the transport authority is responsible for final decisions.
