Altenberg Redesigns Street for Safety and Pedestrian Access

The city of Altenberg is planning to redesign the Altenberger-Dom-Straße. The measures aim to adapt to modern regulations, improve safety, and address traffic management issues. Notably, the redesign does not require a plan approval procedure as it's not considered a significant redesign under the law.

The local authority, Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis, has confirmed that the city's plans are legally sound. While not mandatory, the city has offered citizen participation in the process. The redesign will not expand motor vehicle lanes but instead will reduce their width to make room for bikes and pedestrian traffic, a move that aligns with the city's goal of promoting safer and more inclusive streets.
