Fellbach plans safe cycle path: citizens are included!
The Fellbach municipal council has decided to realize an inner-city cycling route route (RS 5). This route will run through the city over three kilometers and is intended to offer a safe and comfortable bicycle traffic infrastructure. The preferred variant of the route runs along the Schorndorfer and Stuttgarter Straße, such as the reports
A central goal of this project is to take into account the interests of residents, traders, retailers and the green planning. The planning is based on the so-called "Fellbach criteria", which stand out from the country's cycle fast path criteria. This offers the advantage that the route uses fewer green areas and parking spaces and at the same time increases safety for cyclists and pedestrians.
timetable and financing of the rapid rattage
The implementation of the rapid rapid connection will be carried out in sections from 2027 at the earliest. In order to finance the planning, a budget of 150,000 euros was set, with a funding rate expected of 87.5 percent. The tender for route planning is scheduled to start in September 2025. In addition, the municipal council, the citizens and companies continue to be involved in the planning process, which is intended to promote transparency and acceptance of the project.
parallel to the Radschnellweg-Trasse, the city plans to check and improve the existing wheel network in Fellbach. A continuous, well -developed and categorized main bike path network is to be developed to increase traffic safety and mobility in the city. The expansion plans are also based on the network planning of the neighboring municipalities as well as the district and the country, which requires a comprehensive coordination. The city administration shared this assessment in a message published on the website of the city of Fellbach .
The challenges of implementation
When planning the fast rapid connection and the improved wheel network, various aspects are taken into account. These include direct route, traffic safety and urban planning components such as parking spaces and city green. An important evaluation point is the crossing of the train lines, which in the past city council discussions provided some controversy.
The city's cycling officer, Birgit Orner, has already commissioned the first considerations and planning by the planning office via eG from Cologne. The project manager Peter Gwiasda presented the first concepts on January 20 to the members of the local council. The need for a well -structured cycle path network in Fellbach is great because many citizens of work, purchases or leisure activities have to cover long distances.
A digital opening workshop for the development of the wheel network took place on March 9, 2022, in which citizens and representatives of politics and interest associations were able to take part in order to actively shape the plans. The connection of the rapid rapid connection to the existing wheel network and with other traffic operators is considered crucial for a successful infrastructure.
