The local council has given up the protection of individual trees on the so-called Matrau property on Bahnhofstrasse in favor of a bicycle protection strip.
Grafrath
- The corresponding change in the development plan has now been approved by the building committee.
The topic had already been discussed controversially in advance.
During the construction of the protective strip, the root system would have to be intervened, which would probably destroy the trees.
Ultimately, a narrow majority in the Committee for Cyclist Safety had spoken out.
In view of the difficult land acquisition at this point, however, it is still questionable whether the protective strip will actually come.
In the building committee you can see the planning for the future, when tree protection can be guaranteed structurally through new technologies.
By entering the protective strip, the protection for individual trees worth preserving is no longer applicable, but groups of trees are listed as worth preserving, so that not all trunks can be completely removed.
In an earlier committee meeting it was said that the owner does not want to remove any trees anyway.
