In order to be able to set up a 30 km/h zone where it deems it necessary, the municipality of Haag has joined a nationwide initiative.
Haag
- Tempo 30 along the local thoroughfare has existed in Haag for several years.
However, the regulation only applies between school and kindergarten - and only for a limited time from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.
A lack of legal basis has so far prevented the municipality from introducing Tempo 30 as the maximum speed in the entire local area.
Both on main roads and side roads.
This could change soon.
Because the municipality joins the initiative "Cities worth living through reasonable speeds".
The City Council unanimously approved the move at Tuesday's meeting.
100 municipalities are already involved nationwide
The initiative, which is part of the German Association of Cities, calls on the federal government to immediately create the legal prerequisites for municipalities to be able to impose a maximum speed limit of 30 km/h in town without further restrictions.
Namely where they themselves consider it necessary, explained Mayor Anton Geier.
Around 100 municipalities are already involved in the merger, emphasized his deputy Dominik Berger.
More than 4000 vehicles pass through the through roads of Haag and Inkofen every day.
It has been the community's declared will for years to introduce the speed limit along the through-road in Inkofen.
According to Geier, this is more in demand than in other districts.
The bottleneck at the level of the chapel, which is considered to be in danger of collapsing after an accident three years ago, is crying out for it.
(By the way: everything from the region is now also available in our regular Freising newsletter.)
Unfortunately, it has still not been decided whether the building will be preserved by the owner and professionally repaired at its current location, Geier reported.
The slope adjacent to the chapel, which is provisionally secured with gravel, is owned by the Archbishop's Ordinariate in Munich, he emphasized.
"We are not the owners," said the mayor.
And that's why the community has no decision-making authority, but can only "advise" to the side.
"I don't expect the embankment to be flattened out any time soon," Geier answered a question from municipal councilor Franz Huber.
The residents of Inkofen have the right to have a 30 km/h speed limit introduced, the councilors agreed unanimously.
No administrative effort is required to take part in this initiative, according to Municipal Councilor Elisabeth Maier.
There was a unanimous vote in favor of joining the municipal initiative "Cities worth living through reasonable speeds".
Contract extension: Committee satisfied with the work of the ILE "manager"
The extension of the contract for the "manager" of the integrated rural development concept (ILE), Nina Huber, was also approved unanimously.
Huber, who started work in September 2019, can thus act as an interface for the twelve member communities of the ILE for four more years.
"She's doing a good job," emphasized Berger.
The contract for the sewer rehabilitation on Amperblick, Holzbrünnlstraße, Pfarrer-Weingand-Straße in Haag and on Haager Straße in Inkofen, both in closed and open construction, was awarded for a total of 120,434 euros.
