The WM 24 district road between Böbing and Schönberg has been expanded, but nothing has happened on the rest of the stretch to Echelsbacher Brücke.
Rottenbuch's mayor demands that something be done.
And once again insists on a speed limit.
Schönberg
- Get off the gas on the district road near Schönberg: The Rottenbuch community has been fighting for this for quite a while.
You aim at 60 km / h on the entire route from the beginning to the end of Schönberg.
Instead, the speed was only reduced to sections along which houses are standing.
Once in the east, the speed limit should remain there permanently.
In addition, others were set up in the south of the district for testing purposes.
In between, it has so far remained at the 100 kilometers per hour customary for country roads.
A traffic show with police and officials has not changed anything recently.
And the expansion of the road is not going very well either.
Demand to the district administrator
Therefore, after consulting the local council, Mayor Markus Bader writes a letter to District Administrator Andrea Jochner-Weiß. Once again he wants to ask for a complete restriction of the speed to 60 km / h. Driving faster is “far too dangerous”, there are “blind bends and private exits”, he describes in an interview with the local newspaper. It is true that it is also the task of road users to drive according to the road conditions, but especially those outside of the city would recognize the problems too late. “It doesn't have to be that someone dies,” says Bader urgently. "We want to have the signs beforehand."
On the one hand, it is about the health of road users, "but also about protection of residents".
And about the noise nuisance that high speeds bring with them.
According to Bader, motorcyclists in particular cause problems.
In addition, the volume of traffic could continue to increase with the expansion of the commercial area in Böbing.
The municipality is now considering equipping the released area with at least a speed display.
This could - depending on the purchased device - also flash the request to brake down to 60 km / h.
Expansion only with accompanying cycle path
In his letter to the district administrator, Bader also wants to call for the road between Schönberg and Echelsbacher Brücke to be expanded at last.
That has already happened in the direction of Böbing.
In Bader's eyes, the last construction phase is now to follow.
“That's what we're fighting for,” says Bader, who emphasizes that the expansion “should only be implemented with an accompanying cycle path”.
The state building authority in Weilheim is responsible for the construction of the district road.
As Andreas Lenker, head of department in the authority, announced on request, a variant investigation is currently taking place for the “BereicVariah Schönberg to Echelsbach”.
It will be checked whether the road can run as before or with a different route.
"In addition, a wide variety of cycle paths are also included in the study of variants."
Once the options are clear, discussions will be held with the districts of Weilheim-Schongau and Garmisch-Partenkirchen as well as the municipalities involved.
The street runs near the Echelsbacher Bridge on Bad Bayersoier Flur.
In addition, according to Bader, there could be talks with property owners, since the areas along the street are in private hands.
