Bergisch Gladbach: Politicians agree on S-Bahn and new underpass!

In Bergisch Gladbach, discussions about railway expansion are in full swing. Although politicians in the city like to discuss controversial transport issues, they agree on this: the expansion of the S-Bahn between Dellbrück and Bergisch Gladbach must be implemented as quickly as possible. This was reported by the Cologne City Gazette. At a recent meeting of the Mobility Committee, the plans for a second S-Bahn track and the associated infrastructure were discussed in detail.

At the same time, an underpass for pedestrians and cyclists is to be built on Tannenbergstrasse. Three variants of this underpass are under discussion, and the committee has unanimously decided to further develop the sketches. First Alderman Ragnar Migenda from the Greens was relieved about the committee's quorum; He emphasized the importance of making quick decisions in order to avoid negative effects on S-Bahn connections.

Integration of new bridges

A particularly hot point during the discussions was the technical connection to Buchholzstrasse through a new bridge. The construction of a corresponding bridge structure is already integrated into the planning process. The decision for further processing has been made, even if the exact details are still pending. A debate on the new bridge is still to come, but preparatory work is already underway.

Especially in view of the current railway situation, which, according to Dr. Friedrich Bacmeister from the Green Party is characterized by frequent cancellations and delays, a rapid expansion of the infrastructure is of great importance. In order to meet the increasing mobility needs in the city, a comprehensive improvement of the cycling and walking infrastructure is essential. According to the national urban development policy It is essential to increase the proportion of environmentally friendly modes of transport and reduce individual motorized transport.

Sustainable mobility in focus

Current planning aims to create a modern, sustainable mobility structure that works towards an even greener future. Cities are required to develop transport concepts that meet the needs of the growing population and at the same time focus on the needs for fewer emissions and a better quality of life. E-mobility and digital solutions are at the top of the agenda of those responsible.

Preparations for the track expansion and the associated closure of the level crossing on Tannenbergstrasse are already in full swing. These measures are part of a broader strategy that the city of Bergisch Gladbach would like to pursue together with Deutsche Bahn and other institutions. The commitment to improvements in the mobility sector shows that the city is committed to creating an attractive and safe transport area.

One thing is certain: the railway expansion will be a key project for the region, and planning is progressing. Rapid progress is necessary to ensure reliable and comfortable mobility for citizens.
