For nine years, the municipality of Attenkirchen has been trying to improve the roundabout at the exit of the town.
Now there is finally a solution for this.
Attenkirchen
- Good news in the Attenkirchen local council: The lengthy efforts to create widened sidewalks and cycle paths as well as a crossing aid at the roundabout towards Mainburg have been crowned with success.
As Mayor Mathias Kern announced at the most recent meeting, a solution had been agreed upon with those involved.
“Something has progressed,” explained Kern, referring to an agreement concluded between the municipality, the Federal Republic of Germany and the district.
Accordingly, as the municipality has been planning since 2015, a crossing aid can be installed in the dividing island in front of the roundabout in the southern branch of the roundabout, i.e. in the area of federal highway 301.
On top of that.
The existing sidewalks coming from the east and west will be widened and connected by the crossing aid.
A significant improvement.
Especially in view of the fact that many young families live in nearby Bachfeld, for whom the crossing aid represents an enormous relief, as Kern already made clear in one of the previous meetings.
Costs have long been the sticking point
According to general opinion, the committee can also live with the division of costs.
According to a list, the lion's share of the costs, which have recently increased from 150,000 to 175,000 euros, is borne by the Freising State Building Authority or the road construction administration located there.
It covers almost 75 percent of the financial expenses.
The district's civil engineering department accounts for a good 15 percent, which is why the municipality ultimately has a share of ten percent.
According to Kern, there are also planning costs and the like amounting to 22,000 euros.
“All in all,” the community leader expects it to be around 30,000 euros.
An amount that the community will most likely have to “intermediately finance,” as he pointed out.
But that doesn't mean you're forgiving yourself, he assured when asked by Eva-Maria Rieger (UWG).
The division of costs had long been a sticking point.
Because of the three-way constellation and also because there was originally talk of significantly less.
According to an initial estimate, it was only estimated at over 90,000 euros.
This is one of the reasons why the project came to a serious halt.
In the meantime, the State Ministry for Housing, Construction and Transport has even been contacted.
Community has found the “game changer”.
What ultimately turned out to be a “game changer” was to classify the whole thing as a “reconstruction of a higher intersection” and to determine the costs as a result of the ratio of the roadway widths of the road branches involved.
Accordingly, the federal government has to bear the share for the two road branches of the B301, the district for the two road branches of the FS16 and the FS43 and the municipality of Attenkirchen for the sidewalks existing along the federal and district road branches.
Problem solved!
If everything goes well, the renovation of the roundabout could begin as early as next August.
The planned PV project on Attenkirchener and Wolfersdorfer Flur remains a big topic.
Here a citizen had suspected “greenwashing” among the planners.
