After years of discussion and planning, as well as a recent residents' meeting, the municipal council will decide on July 21 how the Westring will be remodeled.
Poing – For a good 20 years, the residents of the west ring in Poing-Nord lived idyllically: the road was a dead end in the west, opposite the houses is the allotment garden.
With the realization of the new development areas of Zauber- and Seewinkel as well as the Lerchenwinkel (currently under construction) and the future W8, the calm is over.
The west ring has been opened and merges into Bergfeldstraße, which was released in autumn 2020.
Traffic has increased accordingly – and will continue to do so in the years to come.
According to an expert report, traffic in the Westring and in Bergfeldstraße will roughly double once all new development areas have been completed.
Depending on the route section, between 7,200 and 9,400 vehicles per 24 hours.

In order to accommodate the traffic, but at the same time to make the pollution (especially noise) for the residents as bearable as possible, the municipal administration, planners and the municipal council have been considering how the west ring should be redesigned in recent years.
In its meeting on May 3rd of this year, the building committee of the municipal council of Poing decided on the following variant: on the south side of the west ring, where there is residential development, a footpath and cycle path separate from the road will be created.
For this purpose, the existing footpath will be moved further north and thus away from property entrances that are difficult to see.
A number of longitudinal parking spaces will also be created on the south side.
A cycle path will be built on the north side (along the allotment garden).
The bushes and trees there have to go,

Poing: Mayor informed in residents meeting
Mayor Thomas Stark informed the residents of the Westring and Dahlienstraße and the members of the allotment garden association about this variant on June 8th at a residents' meeting.
Residents there criticized that the planned reorganization of the parking spaces as well as garage and parking space access roads would make parking onto the Westring dangerous because this would have to be done backwards.
Stark and the administration took up the hint that maneuvering and turning options should now be created in the conversion plan, the mayor announced at the municipal council meeting.
In addition, according to another tip from the residents' meeting, it should be checked whether a kind of noise/privacy protection wall can be erected for the allotment garden.
Poing: Municipal council decides on July 21st
According to Thomas Stark, the changed planning for the conversion of the western ring (including the already decided roundabout at the transition to Plieninger Straße) will be made for a final decision in the municipal council meeting on July 21st.
He is aware that the residents of the western ring bear a burden on the settlement development of Poing, he says.

In February 2017, the then municipal council decided that the two new development areas Lerchenwinkel and W8 would be twice as large as specified in the land use plan drawn up in 1980.
Result: The total floor area of a good 40,000 square meters per building quarter was doubled in each case.
Instead of 1,000 people, living space for 2,000 people each is being built in W7 and W8.
