New plans for old railway line: green mobility for Aachen!

Public participation in the B-Plan Bahntrasse North: A step towards sustainable mobility

In the city of Aachen, an important milestone is set for future traffic planning. The former areas of the railway line to the Nordbahnhof are the focus of a new development plan that aims to develop a “green mobility route”. This should not only serve to promote bicycle traffic, but also create a continuous green connection and provide areas for local public transport, especially in the area of rail traffic.

Public participation: Opportunity for participation

The Aachen planning committee and the district council of Aachen-Mitte have decided to involve the public at an early stage in the planning process. From Monday, August 19th to Friday, September 20, citizens can express their opinions and proposals for the planning. This participation is of central importance to ensure that the demands and wishes of the population are taken into account.

accessible information on planning

The documents on development plan No. 1019 "Jülich Strasse Bahntrasse Nord" are available online. Interested parties can see the documents on the websites Beteiligung.aachen.de and Participation.nrw.de or in the foyer of the administrative building at Marching goal, Lagerhausstraße 20, Aachen. There are opening times Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

economic deepening: commercial space secured

Another important aspect of planning concerns the securing and further development of the existing commercial space around the former railway line. This not only contributes to the preservation of jobs, but also promotes economic diversity in the region by creating new uses.

The vision of a sustainable traffic axis

The B-Plan is a piece in the vision of an environmentally friendly and sustainably designed traffic infrastructure. The implementation of these projects will not only improve the mobility of the citizens of Aachen, but will also contribute to the reduction of motorized private transport. By focusing on cycle paths and public transport connections, a clear step towards a more conscious and resource -saving mobility is taken.
