So far, twelve of the 139 bus stops in Fürstenfeldbruck are barrier-free. The decision to increase the share has long been a decision. Now the city council has decided to increase the pace of the renovation.
Fürstenfeldbruck - The plan is now to rebuild four of the 33 stops, which lack accessibility, four per year. The city council has now unanimously accepted a corresponding proposal that Mirko Pötzsch (SPD) submitted as a traffic officer in September 2019. The city council had previously decided to convert the stops. With the target at that time, however, only two stops per year had to be converted.
At this rate, however, the district's goal of making public transport accessible by 2028 cannot be kept anywhere near. The city council had also stated that an increase in the annual budget for the conversion of the stops, which was decided by the city council in January, was not enough. City Council member Florian Weber (The Party) would have liked to see even more commitment in the conversion of the stops. He wanted to expand Pötzsch's application so that six of the 94 stops with limited accessibility are made completely accessible every year. However, this additional application failed just 18:21 votes. For the now agreed target of four stops per year, the city has to budget 250,000 euros annually from 2021, according to the building authorities.
