Carl-Wery-Straße in Neuperlach is to be expanded.
The district committee criticizes the city of Munich's plans.
The district politicians fear a new accident hotspot.
A bottleneck and a potential accident hotspot with an announcement - this is how the Perlach district committee (BA) assesses the conversion and expansion plans for Carl-Wery-Straße.
The city “refuses to plan here,” is the criticism from Green Party spokesman Werner Nüßle.
For BA boss Thomas Kauer (CSU) the whole thing is simply “unfinished”.
It is primarily the area at the intersection with Arnold-Sommerfeldstrasse and Rotkäppchenstrasse that triggers this devastating verdict.
The district politicians actually have nothing to complain about in the other sections of Carl-Wery-Straße.
A green strip with many new trees
Between the Neuperlach-Süd subway and S-Bahn station and the intersection, the green middle divider is to be converted into a bus lane - with the option of perhaps using the route for a city-surrounding area railway (whose implementation is still completely uncertain).
Green strips with lots of new trees should separate the bus lane from the traffic lanes, alongside parking bays and wide cycle paths and sidewalks.
In the section between Therese-Giehse-Allee and Arnold-Sommerfeld-Straße there will be up to four lanes plus a bus lane.
As you continue up to the city limits, there isn't as much space.
Not even the sidewalk can be continued on both sides “due to lack of space.”
Carl-Wery-Straße will have one lane in each direction, and buses will also have to merge back into private traffic.
District politicians see chaos coming to the district
This interface should be controlled by traffic lights.
In view of the increasing densification of Waldperlach, a new development district on Otto-Hahn-Ring, a vocational school and boarding house with retail, a new P+R facility with 770 parking spaces, the plans for a future subway depot and the plans to build a parking garage for almost 4,000 vehicles On Arnold-Sommerfeld-Straße, the BA sees chaos coming to the area.
“In the worst case scenario, if the railway barrier is closed, there is a risk of a backlog from Arnold-Sommerfeld-Straße to Carl-Wery-Straße,” said Kauer.
“It is a bitter revenge that new projects have been planned and implemented in Neuperlach-Süd for years, but without an overall overview.”
The district committee is calling for improvements by the end of the year
Nüßle also complains that it is difficult to constantly agree to new individual projects without getting a complete overview from city planning.
The district committee is therefore calling for improvements such as the purchase of land and a better concept for the problem junction by the end of the year.
The expansion and conversion of Carl-Wery-Straße should only take place from the second quarter of 2025 - if the city council agrees to it.
From mid-2024, only necessary work on extensive division relocation is planned.
