stops a shopping centre, the transport prestige project of red-Red-Green? This threatens the “Panke Trail” at the train station Pankow. He is one of the eight planned fast cycle routes, which has anchored the government in the Central of Berlin’s mobility law. More than 100 kilometers Radstraßen to be built on a “stand-alone Special,” a sufficiently broad and, if possible, is intersection-free. So the traffic should be driven to turn – at least in theory.
In practice, the section from the Berlin wall Park in Pankow to the North, halfway to the narrow edge of the strip has been planned. Originally, the “Panke Trail” along the Bay of railway, about 13 kilometres to the crossroads, free to book, from the train station Pankow on the site of the furniture entrepreneur Kurt Krieger. Here, the construction area of the “Pankower Tor” with 2000 dwellings is planned.
“Here is no lazy compromises must be made”
But now the “Wheel 4” in front of the warrior site on the Berlin road and behind the highway bridge at the Prenzlauer Promenade. In between is just a normal cycle path along the granitz road – with a two-Meter-wide lane in each direction, directly in addition to the planned new tram line. These plans were presented at the opening event of the “Pankower Tor” on 23. November presents.
The Bicycle club ADFC Berlin calls on the Federal Land of Berlin, to correct the plans and the “Panke Trail” as a real Radschnellweg expand: “Here is no lazy compromises must be made.” In the negotiations with warriors in the “Pankower Tor” are the transport and urban development management and leadership of the district of Pankow involved.

The “Panke Trail” was Reportedly a key discussion point. In the transport Senate Department the route since the beginning of 2017 to investigate. However, in April 2018, the desired route is not entered into the agreement in principle with the warriors. Instead, the vague wording was chosen “a more powerful bike path on the Northern side of the granitz road”. As a reason, the difficult crossing, it was argued the situation at the train station Pankow. The construction of the necessary wheel-bridge on the Berlin street is a complicated one.

“So the idea of a Radschnellwegs. as the ‘bike motorway’ to the point of absurdity”
The biggest obstacle for the Radhighway on the warrior Area, but according to concordant statements by the planned shopping center, to be built opposite the station, on the Berlin road It leave no place for the Radschnellweg. On the railway embankment, instead, the delivery entrance for the shopping center. The traffic management had agreed to the rescheduling, finally.
The decision was not yet final, is heard from circles. Apparently, it is hoped that the route along the Embankment realize that if the beginning of 2019, the cities will begin construction competition for the “Pankower Tor”. However, it is felt that for the bike path no one wants to put the laboriously negotiated agreement with the warriors at this, for years, fought wasteland.

Less cautious of the ADFC Berlin. He criticized that the traffic management on the table. If the “Panke Trail” will managed between Tram, road and footpath, the its effectiveness of the question. In addition, the proposed guidance would overload the intersection at the Berliner Straße, which is already a bottleneck, “foreseeable”, and also all the other modes of transport, including public TRANSPORT hinder, says the ADFC spokeswoman Lara cornerstone. “So the idea of a Radschnellwegs is run as a ‘Bicycle highway’ to the point of absurdity. The alternative guide to the railway line must be represented as an Option in further procedures.“
