Polish term or phrase: \"Vavjeensa\"

Hi! I'm transcribing an interview with a Jewish lady who lived in Krakow at the beginning of World War II. She provides the name of the street she lived on in 1939, which (to the best of my transliterating abilities, with all due apologies) sounds something like "Vavjeensa". From what she says, she lived near a power plant. I've looked at the neighbourhood surrounding the existing power plant in Krakow on the Google map but can't find any street names that look remotely like that. Any Krakow locals out there who can shed some light? Thanks!

Jedna z bardziej oryginalnych ulic Kazimierza nosi imię św. Wawrzyńca – patrona stojącego tam w średniowieczu kościoła. W XIX w. teren ten należał do najbardziej uprzemysłowionych w mieście. Na przełomie XIX i XX w. powstały okazałe zakłady: najpierw założono zajezdnię tramwajową, a następnie uruchomiono miejską gazownię i elektrownię.
