The parking lot at the Old Girls' School in the heart of Peiting is never as empty as it was yesterday at noon during the week. The municipality of Peiting is sticking to its plans to build a parking deck here through the urban development subsidy. They are also interested in further expanding time-limited parking in public car parks in the town centre. hh ,reception parking spaces'better use "Keeping a healthy balance" © Herald
Are there too few parking spaces in Peiting's town centre? Some citizens are calling for more parking space. Peiting's mayor Peter Ostenrieder is now reacting to this. He describes the current situation and further plans.
Peiting – The medical centre in Peiting is full, there are now a total of ten doctors' surgeries in the area of Hauplatz, and retail is running. Again and again, voices are raised calling for more parking spaces in the village. Mayor Peter Ostenrieder is also repeatedly approached with the issue of the parking situation in the town centre. In particular, the topic of temporary parking restrictions comes up again and again. At this point, Ostenrieder refers to a study that Markt Peiting had prepared in 2022. "Because it is precisely the parking deck in the area of the current parking lot at the Old Girls' School, which has been desired for many years, that required an investigation in order to be able to inspire the responsible persons of the urban development promotion for the project," the head of the municipality emphasizes once again that he is sticking to the project, which was sometimes hotly debated in the past.
The Peiting market is an important attraction for the entire surrounding area when it comes to shopping, visits to the doctor or pharmacy or other services. "In most cases, this can only be achieved with individual car traffic, so a parking solution that is compatible with everyone is also important in the long term." Ostenrieder refers to "reception parking lots" positioned around the town centres, from which the centre area can then be easily reached on foot and which can relieve the parking pressure there. Theoretical. The problem, according to the report: "In Peiting, there are no plots of land in the vicinity of the market center that could take on such functions." At most, the parking lot at the swimming pool is available at times when swimming is not offered, it says. "This is probably the most important reason why the parking deck project should continue to be included in future plans for the Peiting market together with the urban development funding." Until then, employees and employees of practices and companies in particular could use the parking lot at the ice stadium, from where the town center can be reached in about seven minutes - or even faster with the PeitingMobil.
Parking pressure in the town centre has increased
In fact, the parking pressure in the town centre seems to have increased since the report was drawn up. This is precisely why Ostenrieder calls for understanding that long-term and long-term parkers must be slowed down by a time restriction on parking so that others are not deprived of parking opportunities. "That's why we will also gently push ahead with the expansion of the reduction of free parking spaces in the town center, which was already planned a year ago," which is not so easy because of the compact parking situation in Peiting. "We just didn't get around to it last year."
In addition, there are still many parking spaces in the town centre, where unlimited parking is allowed. In addition, there is the underground car park of the medical centre, where visitors can park for one hour free of charge and for a fee if they have a longer parking time.
Municipal parking can be used
There is also the municipal car park at the corner of Obere Strasse and Schongauer Strasse, which was set up as a temporary solution after the demolition of the so-called Kreuzer House. A temporary parking restriction was unavoidable at this point in order to slow down permanent parking operators such as owners of motorhomes. After the relocation of the nursing service, which had parked its vehicles there overnight, there is good parking space available for two hours, and you are in the middle of the village after a few meters.
"Until a permanent parking solution is found, we will maintain a healthy balance between unrestricted parking spaces and time restrictions as much as possible," says Ostenrieder. There are a total of 312 public parking spaces in the centre of Peiting – bordered by Obere Straße, Müllerstraße/Retscherstraße, Azamstraße and Freistraße – a quarter of which are at the girls' school.
