The city of Garching is making the main entrance to the cemetery barrier-free.
This costs her 34,000 euros.
Garching - Eight years ago, the city of Garching rebuilt the company gate north of the main entrance to the cemetery so that wheelchair users and walker users could also access the municipal site on Römerhofweg without hindrance during opening hours.
Now the construction, planning and environmental committee decided at the most recent meeting that the main entrance should also be made barrier-free.
The construction technology department, in collaboration with the Heinhaus engineering firm, has developed two variants for barrier-free redesign of the entrance area.
Both plans were presented to the Advisory Board for the Disabled in advance and agreed upon together, assures Felix Meinhardt from the administration.
The first variant would cost around 76,000 euros and would include a larger ramp around the corner.
The second variant is significantly cheaper at around 34,000 euros.
A single ramp with a higher gradient is planned.
The town hall recommends the latter option for visual and economic reasons.
The Advisory Board for the Disabled also agrees with the recommendation of this variant, but adds as an urgent recommendation that, as part of the measure, the paved circular area in front of the entrance area should also be removed and this should also be asphalted.
Mayor Dietmar Gruchmann (SPD) added that the iron gate should also be revised: “It cannot be handled in such a barrier-free manner.”
