Waiting for government approval

The passage from Drößling is to be rebuilt.

The planning is in place, but the project is still dragging on.

Whether it can still start this year is open.

The municipality and AWA Ammersee are in the starting blocks, but whether the expansion of the Drößlinger through-road can actually be carried out this year is currently in the stars.

Or is in the hands of the government of Upper Bavaria.

Drößling

– The development of the through road in Drößling is developing into an endless story.

However, this is not due to the municipality of Seefeld and the residents of Drößling.

But because the application for funding has disappeared into the bureaucratic vaults of the government of Upper Bavaria.

It remains to be seen when he will reappear from them, along with funding commitments.

"In any case, we can't start tendering and construction for that long, that would damage funding," says Mayor Klaus Kögel.

Anyone who drives from Starnberg to Inning via Perchting should be familiar with the through-road in Drößling.

In Drößling it goes in tight curves along the church wall, which culminates in the winding exit in the direction of Seefeld, which is then a bit narrower.

Stuck trucks or buses, that's what local residents experience again and again.

Money is planned in the budget

To make matters worse, there is no sidewalk.

That wasn't absolutely necessary when building roads back then, the traffic was comparatively harmless.

Because it is no longer that today, the municipality wants to expand the through-road - in favor of pedestrians.

For this purpose, a traffic light should first be switched on, which regulates traffic in one direction.

The plans were well advanced.

Klaus Kögel, who has been the new mayor since 2020, did not want to make friends with this and advocated the construction of a sidewalk.

The planning for this has been in place for a long time now.

This is also thanks to the residents, who ceded a total of around 200 square meters of land for the sidewalk construction along State Road 2070.

The municipality submitted all plans a few weeks ago.

Because she hopes for the 1,

5 million euro project on funding commitments of up to 60 percent, ideally.

She wants to carry out the expansion as a special construction project, which means she can start earlier, but she also has to finance the construction in advance.

The amount is already in the budget.

The AWA Ammersee is also involved in the project.

She wants to renew dilapidated canals and water pipes, it makes sense to do this in one go.

Because the matter will be difficult anyway.

"We expect a construction time of around four months," says Kögel.

"And it won't work without a full lockdown."

Beginning is in the stars

But now everyone just sits there and waits.

"We have absolutely no way of predicting how long it will take for our documents to be processed," says Kögel.

He would have liked to have had feedback before the summer holidays.

If things go badly, the commitments only come well after the summer holidays.

"Then we still have to advertise.

And the question is whether it makes sense to start in December.” He will still fight to get feedback quickly – “even if it is August”.

As reported, the passageway will have a 1.50 meter wide sidewalk and will be widened to six meters along its entire length.

In most places it already has this width.

The entrance from Seefeld remains a bottleneck, but this also reduces speed - the Weilheim State Building Authority agrees.

In the long term, a speed limit of 30 km/h should also apply to the passage in the future.

The municipality with the residents who are giving up the land has not yet been to the notary.

"That should happen promptly, we will use the time now for that," says Kögel.
