Road connection to the east is to be expanded - three variants

Buchloe - The easiest way to get from Buchloe to Landsberg in a climate-friendly way is by bike. How nice would it be if this venture was safe, fast and easy to drive? The UBI faction of the Buchloe city council had already in July the bike connection between Buchloe and Landsberg via Honsolgen and the Singold or (colloquially) Sinkelmühle in mind and applied for a repair. In the most recent city council meeting, the proposal came on the table and provided a lot of material for discussion.

The special program “City and Country” supports the expansion of cycle paths with subsidies and Buchloe should also benefit from this when the city repairs the cycle path connection to Landsberg. With a view to a nationwide offer, the program also includes intermunicipal measures, in particular city-surrounding areas, including measures for the formation of intermunicipal cycling networks. As is well known, Buchloe and Landsberg are not only in different counties, but even in different administrative districts.

Several roads lead from the city in Ostallgäu to Landsberg, as city architect Stephan Müßig presented to the city council. The shortest connection of twelve kilometers, which is part of the UBI application, would only have to be paved for around 1.7 kilometers to become an everyday cycle path. The section between the Singoldmühle and the Via Claudia is currently gravel and, according to the UBI, is in poor condition. To the north there is a route via Holzhausen and the Stoffersberg and to the south another route via Honsolgen, the Koppenhof and the Landsberg district of Erpfting. For the latter route, there is the idea of ​​letting it run further east through the forest instead of over the Bronn pond.

For each of these routes, one or the other city council could warm up.

However, as Mayor Robert Pöschl emphasized several times, it is important that one of the cycle paths is implemented through the funding program.

In a next step, the variants are to be checked by a planning office and discussions with the neighbors in Upper Bavaria are to be held.

The results are to be presented again to the city council.

This then has to be determined.
