Königswinter: How to get to the goal in short paths

Königswinter pursues the goal of improving mobility within the city with his near mobility concept. Initial feedback shows that important points such as the width of cycling and sidewalks, the safety of coverings and the connection between the mountain and the valley are increasingly criticized. These suggestions are part of a comprehensive online survey that will be carried out by May 18. The citizens are invited to contribute their suggestions to improve the company.

The city administration has already taken up first impulses from a kick -off event in the forum of the Oberpleis primary school, where numerous citizens brought their ideas. These suggestions ensure a well -founded foundation for the meeting provided in June between politicians, administration and citizens. The exchange should serve to visit existing grievances directly on site and to discuss targeted measures.

Criticism and challenges

The incoming feedback testifies to a real need for improvement in several areas. The wishes range from secure, barrier -free because of the need for clear and understandable signage. However, financial and legal restrictions are often in the way, especially when it comes to nature conservation law issues. For example, new connections by forests cannot be easily created, which makes it difficult to implement some suggestions.

Nevertheless, it is possible to integrate numerous of the expressed wishes into the new concept. This includes, for example, lowered curbs, targeted bike paths and optimized stops for public transport. A consistent concept that brings together various aspects of mobility planning will ultimately create the basis for a sustainable improvement in housing in Königswinter.

Participation of the citizens

The citizens are called up to actively participate in the design of the near mobility. Opinions and suggestions can be submitted via the urban homepage. The questionnaire not only offers the opportunity to express wishes, but also to explore the feasibility of ideas within a specified budget. The contact person Stefanie Otto has focused on motivating the citizens to share their suggestions. A broad participation can make a decisive contribution to developing a concept that meets the needs of all road users.

The goal is to establish a mobility concept that is not only practical, but also contributes to improving the quality of life in Königswinter. Due to the direct involvement of the citizens and taking into account their proposals, a tailor -made solution is sought to ensure important paths today and in the future.
