Discussions about bypassing Dorfen are as old as the daily traffic jams on the B15 through town.

A new idea has reignited the old dispute in the city council.

Comment.

Dorfen

- traffic issues always lead to a backlog of debates in the Dorfen city council.

The problems are huge - above all the permanently overloaded B 15 through town.

Not only for long-distance traffic, but also for the people of Dorfen, there is hardly a way around the main road - whether to school, train station or supermarket.

And actually no way leads to a bypass road.

The route in the west of the city, recommended by the Coplan engineers in 2008 as the least bad compromise, fails in many ways: the double-digit million amount that Dorfen would have to finance itself.

Of landscape and nature conservation.

And last but not least, the resistance of the citizens.

"We were almost stoned at the time," recalls CSU councilor Barbara Lanzinger of the 2008 debates. As usual, Lanzinger's attitude is consistent: she calls on the city council to have the courage to stand by the western route.

Gerry Forstmaier (GAL) and Heiner Müller-Ermann (SPD) argue just as consistently.

You firmly believe in the ecological turnaround in traffic as the only possible solution.

Others openly hope that the B 15 will be rebuilt in the distant district of Mühldorf.

However, due to the transport and financial policy framework, that seems increasingly unlikely.

So will the old B 15 be expanded?

For the eastern district of Erding, that would be a horror scenario with even more long-distance traffic.

After all, a bypass would then be more likely.

So is it far-fetched when the ÜWG calls for a bypass on the already existing road through the flour mill?

Certainly not as much as the CSU would like you to believe.

Of course, there are major implementation problems.

A high-performance road can hardly be accommodated in the narrow through-roads.

But none of the alternatives seems more realistic.

So an engineering firm investigating the ÜWG idea is only fair and logical.

Unfortunately, the city council will then be as smart as it is today - the arguments for and against are well known.

The people of Dorfen will have to live with traffic jams for a long time to come.
