City Approves Controversial Street Redesign Without Legal Approval
The city has approved a redesign of the Altenberger-Dom-Straße without a plan approval procedure, sparking debate and curiosity about the legality of the move. The city argues that such a procedure is not required, and a legal opinion from a law firm supports this stance.
The planned redesign does not expand motor vehicle traffic capacity but instead reduces lane widths to accommodate bike and pedestrian lanes, aiming to improve safety and adapt to modern standards. Despite not being legally required, the city offered citizen participation in the process. The local authority of the Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis has since concluded that the city acted legally in its decision.
The specific details of the redesign and the entity that commissioned the legal opinion remain unclear. Further investigation is needed to determine who created the legal opinion and when it was commissioned.
The city's redesign of the Altenberger-Dom-Straße, while controversial, has been deemed legal by the local authority. The planned measures aim to improve safety and adapt to modern standards, but the lack of transparency regarding the legal opinion leaves room for further inquiry.
