The association "Schöner zum See" considers the goal of "See and the City" to ensure traffic calming in the station area in Starnberg to be unfulfilled.

He points to other concepts.

Starnberg

– The citizens' association "Schöner zum See" has called on the city council to quickly and permanently calm traffic at See station and described the "See and the City" project as "unworthy".

In an open letter to the city council and mayor Patrick Janik, the association, specifically Iris Ziebart as the first chairperson, referred to existing concepts.

"See an the City" was meant well.

She writes that they do not want to overwhelm the “See and the City” project with further criticism, but the partial closure of individual areas, which has since been changed again, has not resulted in traffic calming.

"Barriers with warning beacons signal construction site!

The designs do not do justice to our precious location on the lake and the surrounding monuments, the design is unworthy of a city like Starnberg," writes Iris Ziebart to all city councillors.

Association: Various concepts are available in the town hall

"However, this should not mean that the goal of calming the station forecourt and ultimately the city center is abandoned again.

Now that the B 2 tunnel has been delayed and is unlikely to happen in the next ten years, it is all the more important that traffic calming measures are implemented now.

Many variants of suggestions rest in the drawers in the town hall.

It would be worth calling them up again with the planners and city councilors elected today and daring to make a decision," the letter continues.

Any traffic calming will fail as long as the through traffic that wants to avoid the main street can drive through the Wittelsbacher- and Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße unhindered.

Ziebart refers to some concepts that wanted to change that - the urban development plan, for example,

the traffic development plan or the STAgenda concept "Living Starnberg".

The "Schöner zum See" association, which is committed to upgrading the area around the station without relocating tracks, would like to get involved as early as possible.

"See an the City" lasts until October and was recently improved with the city beach and some area adjustments.

It is currently not possible to determine when the B 2 tunnel will be completed, as the plan change procedure is still ongoing.
