Recent developments and future plans

Since the 1990s, there have been several moves to expand the line to Ploshchad Stanislavskogo. Initially, the city planned to start construction in 2010;[2] however there has been no construction. In 2014, the city indicated that it would move forward on planning for two new stations on the Dzerzhinskaya Line instead.[3] In 2018, the mayor of Novosibirsk stated that it was necessary to build Ploshchad Stanislavskogo to relieve automobile traffic. The mayor estimated the cost to complete three new stations would be about 20 billion rubles.[4]
