Chorweiler gets a new cycle path network: This makes cycling more comfortable!
Cyclists in the north of Cologne can look forward to fundamental improvements to the cycle path network in the Chorweiler district. Despite the current challenges, such as long distances between towns and an inadequate cycle path network, the administration has taken measures to defuse the situation. Loud Review online A communication was submitted to the Chorweiler district council explaining the basis for these improvements.
The initiatives are based on two central concepts: the district cycling concept and the cycle street concept for Chorweiler. The aim is to create a continuous cycle path network that connects the different parts of the city. A large part of the planned path connections will lead through green areas, which should not only improve traffic flow, but also contribute to the quality of life in the district.
First steps in progress
An important part of these plans are the bicycle streets, which are intended to act as an essential pillar of the bicycle infrastructure. Planning for the first routes will begin this year. Particularly noteworthy is the cycle commuter route 8, which is intended to connect Cologne with Dormagen and runs through the Chorweiler and Nippes districts. This not only promotes cycling, but also makes it safer.
In addition, cycling will be given more space as part of the upcoming renovation of Neusser Landstrasse. The parking options for bicycles, for example at the Langeler ferry, will also be expanded. A new connection from Spoerkelhof in Merkenich to the ramp of the new Leverkusen bridge will further improve the cycle path network. The construction of a storage canal could also enable new walking and cycle path connections between Pesch, Esch, Auweiler and Pulheim.
The traffic development in the north of Cologne clearly shows that a good hand in planning is required. Residents can be all the more excited about the upcoming improvements that will make cycling safer and more enjoyable. A strong focus on infrastructure is important because bicycles are becoming increasingly important as an urban means of transport.
These measures not only improve the accessibility of the districts, but also contribute to reducing motorized traffic. The anticipation of the new cycle path network is palpable among the population, and it remains to be seen how the plans will become more concrete in the coming months.
