The next mega cycle path is coming in Munich.
In any case, the Greens and the SPD applied for it yesterday.
It should lead over the east of Munich to a neighboring district.
The new route would also be inexpensive.
Munich - Munich is to get another mega cycle path - from the Ostbahnhof through Berg am Laim and Trudering and further through the communities in the east of Munich to Ebersberg.
That is what the Greens and the SPD are calling for.
The new cycle path would have a length of 30 kilometers.
The administration should now start with the planning.
These could mainly be based on existing paths.
Munich's Green City Councilor Christian Smolka: "Developing long distances inexpensively"
That is an “unbeatable advantage”, says Green City Councilor Christian Smolka.
“You just have to get the paths in good condition and close a few gaps.
In this way, we can make a long stretch of road accessible for cycling at low cost. ”The city should also seize the opportunity to plan route sections in future new development areas with foresight - for example on Heltauerstraße or Rappenweg.
"Even if the route should not and cannot have the dimensions of a rapid cycle connection due to the route through a biotope, it should be possible to acquire federal and state funding for this supra-regional route," says Smolka.
Munich's SPD city councilor Andreas Schuster: "Cleverly closing gaps"
SPD colleague Andreas Schuster adds that fast bike paths are an important building block on the way to environmentally friendly and sustainable mobility of the future.
“They offer commuters the opportunity to get to Munich and back home quickly and directly.” In the east of the city, it is actually an advantage that there are already many sections with cycle paths.
“We can cleverly close gaps here and make rapid progress in expanding cycling.
That is an inexpensive and timely benefit for our city. "
