Kreuth sets out to implement the traffic concept created by the Munich city and traffic planning office Kaulen.
Step by step, the municipal council set the course for the individual sub-projects - or wants to reassure itself with the people of Kreuth by means of a citizen survey where the journey should go.
Kreuth -
Before the Kreuth local council tackled the comprehensive agenda for mobility in its most recent meeting, Mayor Josef Bierschneider (CSU) reminded that not every point has to be decided now.
Here and there you can get further information or the opinion of the citizens.
In addition, the town hall chief warned to keep the budget in mind when making decisions.
"Because even if the community will get through well in 2020, we don't know what it will look like in 2021 and 2022," he emphasized with a view to the upcoming budget discussions.
Wheel protection strips
With the cycle protection strips, as they have already been implemented by Gmund and Bad Wiessee, Bierschneider went into medias res: For example, the measurement of the four municipal areas in which the lane width would even allow such wheel protection strips would cost 15,000 euros.
The areas that could be considered for this were controversial.
Martin Walch (SPD) considered the route from Weißach to Reitrain to the exit of the "Alte Straße" to be the most important - and possibly the transition from the Wiesseer wheel protection lane to Kreuther Flur, at the level of the Schlosser car dealership.
Otherwise, Walch found it more important to expand the bike and footpath from Weißach to Bad Wiessee.
Checking this was widely advocated at a later stage in the discussion.
In particular, it concerns the section between Ringsee and Aribostraße, which has been included in the cycle path program of the Free State of Bavaria.
Its expansion would take years for reasons of capacity - unless the municipality makes an advance payment.
Josef Hatzl (CSU) found bike protection lanes generally too dangerous: “Cyclists don't belong on the street.” Christian Weber wanted to address them: “They offer cyclists protection and also slow down traffic.” A total of eight local councils followed the decision to close the bike protection lanes track, scrutinize and interview citizens.
Seven spoke out against it.
Crossing aids
They unanimously voted to count how many pedestrians and cyclists cross the road at the natural cheese dairy, the gorge, the glassworks and the Oberhof.
Those were the four places in which the community would like to see crossing aids.
The state building authority only covers the costs - between 100,000 and 150,000 euros per crossing aid - if the streets are crossed frequently.
The committee therefore demanded counts at appropriate representative times - in Oberhof, for example, during the holidays, in Klamm in winter when cross-country skiers have to cross the road.
speed
The municipal councils were divided on the question of whether one should generally limit the speed outside of built-up areas to 70 kilometers an hour and inside town to 30 kilometers an hour.
Since Mayor Bierschneider feared that the citizens - especially those from the southern districts, coming from the Achenpass - would not be happy if journeys were automatically lengthened by a speed limit, he suggested a survey of the citizens.
While Markus Wrba and Sebastian Marschall from the Free Voters were in favor of 40 kilometers per hour in town or a speed limit between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Robert Gerg (SPD) demanded: “Either completely or not at all.
We have to put ourselves on the curb.
Everyone wants traffic calming, but nobody wants to drive slower - how should that work? ”For Peter Stepan (CSU), Tempo 30 was a valley-wide topic anyway.
Beer cutter: "The others have been driving at speed 30 for a long time just because of the traffic jams."
Ultimately, it was agreed that traffic in the 70s zones (Achenpass to Kreuth, Weißach Ringsee, Reitrain to Kreuth) should be slowed down through targeted speed controls.
For this purpose, several control pillars are to be installed for around 10,000 to 15,000 euros each, which are then "armed" alternately with a speed camera (40,000 euros).
"That has a disciplining effect," said Bierschneider.
Then you want to decide on a general speed limit.
The committee decided on a speed limit of 30 kilometers per hour for the inner-city municipal roads.
Thus, one can also remove the forest of signs in the side streets.
Rental bike stations
When it comes to rental bike stations, the committee stuck to its negative stance.
A corresponding offer from the Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft (MVG) will not be available in Kreuth.
Unanimous opinion: “We have two bike rental companies in Kreuth.
Everyone can borrow a bike. "
