Bergisch Gladbach's Attenberger-Dom-Straße Redesign Gets Green Light

Bergisch Gladbach's planned redesign of the Attenberger-Dom-Straße has been deemed legal by the local authority of the Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis. The city avoided a formal plan approval procedure, but still offered opportunities for public participation.

The local authority defined 'significant redesign' as changes that streamline planning processes, enabling municipalities to act more swiftly. In this case, the planned measures adapt to modern standards like ERA and RASt06, enhancing safety and addressing traffic needs. However, these improvements do not expand motor vehicle traffic capacity, which is a requirement for triggering a formal plan approval procedure under § 38 StrWG NRW.

Despite not needing a formal plan approval procedure, the city of Bergisch Gladbach offered chances for citizen participation in the project.
