Transport plans unveiled by Felsch for the subsequent 100 days
In the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia, the mayoral candidate Alexander Felsch has presented his ambitious traffic improvement program for Bergisch Gladbach. The CDU and FDP affiliate, known for his motto "Reason over Ideology," has proposed a comprehensive plan aimed at enhancing mobility, facilitating seamless transport mode changes, and prioritising efficient and safe travel for the city's residents.
At the core of Felsch's plan is a focus on mobility hubs, which he believes are key to attractively interconnected traffic. These hubs would incorporate mobility stations with parking spaces for cars, bike garages, charging stations, and service offerings. Parcel stations and kiosks would also be integrated to further enhance the attractiveness of these hubs and facilitate the change of transport mode.
One of the significant proposals in the plan is the expansion of the L289 between Spich and Bensberg, which could be an important step to ensure efficient express buses. The plan also includes the renovation and expansion of roads, a new concept for commuters and frequent travelers, and a focus on functional traffic infrastructure.
Felsch's plan emphasises the individual decision-making freedom of citizens in traffic. To this end, he proposes the third lane be available for express buses and could change direction as needed. This adaptable approach is designed to accommodate the varying needs of the city's commuters and promote a flexible, efficient transport system.
In terms of public transport, Felsch's plan includes reliable connections to Cologne for the S11 and Line 1. The program also includes the expansion of the second track for the S11, the extension of Line 1 to connect the technology park, and the reactivation of the old Line G from Cologne-Mühlheim to Bergisch Gladbach.
Felsch prioritises maintaining a constructive relationship with KVB for the benefit of the city. He looks to the future and sees mobility stations as a means to facilitate the change of transport mode, making Bergisch Gladbach a city where people can move around safely, efficiently, and carefree.
The CDU and FDP's traffic planning for the Zanders area is forward-thinking, proposing a pragmatic, smart, and interconnected offer of bicycle, car, and public transport. To speed up planning and implementation of infrastructure measures, they propose strengthening the Infrastructure and Project Society (IPGL).
Despite the €17 million earmarked for the maintenance and expansion of traffic routes in the last two budgets, only about a third has been spent. Felsch's traffic improvement program, if implemented, aims to address this issue and ensure that the city's traffic infrastructure receives the attention and investment it deserves.
As the election approaches, Felsch's traffic turnaround plan is generating significant interest and debate among the city's residents. With a focus on practical solutions, adaptability, and a commitment to the city's future, Felsch's plan offers a fresh approach to traffic management in Bergisch Gladbach.
