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

Dellbrück, Deutschland - In Bergisch Gladbach, the talks on the railway expansion are in full swing. Although the politicians in the city are happy to discuss traffic issues, they agree here: the expansion of the S-Bahn between Dellbrück and Bergisch Gladbach must be implemented as soon as possible. This was reported by the Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger . 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 on Tannenbergstrasse is to be realized. Three variants of this underpass are up for discussion, and the committee has unanimously decided to further work out the sketches. The first deputy Ragnar Migenda from the Greens was relieved by the quorum of the committee; He emphasized the importance of the fast decisions to avoid negative effects on the S-Bahn connections.

integration of new bridges

A particularly hot point in the consultations was the technical connection of Buchholzstrasse through a new bridge. The construction of a corresponding bridge structure is already integrated into the planning process. The decision for further processing is made, even if the exact design is still pending. A debate on the new bridge is still imminent, but the preparatory work is already underway.

Especially with regard to the current railway situation, which according to Dr. Friedrich Bacmeister of the Greens is characterized by frequent failures and delays, a rapid expansion of the infrastructure is of great importance. In order to take into account the increasing mobility needs in the city, a comprehensive improvement in cycling and foot traffic infrastructure is essential. According to the National Urban Development Policy it is essential to increase the proportion of environmentally friendly modes of transport and to reduce motorized private transport.

Sustainable mobility in focus

The current planning aims to create a modern, sustainable mobility structure that is working towards an even more environmentally friendly future. Cities are required to develop traffic concepts that meet the needs of the growing population and at the same time focus on needs for fewer emissions and more quality of life. E-mobility and digital solutions are at the top of the agenda of those responsible.

The 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 more comprehensive strategy that the city of Bergisch Gladbach wants to pursue together with Deutsche Bahn and other institutions. The use for the improvements in the mobility area shows that the city is committed to creating an attractive and safe traffic area.

is certain: the railway expansion will be a key project for the region, and the planning is progressing. A quick progress is necessary to secure the citizen: inside a reliable and comfortable mobility.
