In the whole of Treptow-Koepenick, there are a only bike on the road – the meadow promenade in Köpenick. A year ago, the OPP requested that the establishment of a second road. So far, without result, the district office refers to the Senate, which, in turn, to the district.
“A single Bicycle road 270.000 inhabitants, it is not in proportion to the population,” says Sophie Lattke, spokesperson of the network of Bicycle-friendly Treptow-Köpenick. At least three more streets would be suitable.
On Sunday 170 cyclists in Adlershof demonstrated for the establishment of additional Bicycle streets on which cyclists have priority over car traffic. So far, there are only 20 bike roads. On the Gleimstraße and the Stargarder Straße in Prenzlauer Berg, the next one will be the result of the test runs, but also here results.
the Prince Regent street since the years of conflict
the existing Bicycle be ignored Under the streets of many car drivers. They behave like on normal roads, although the speed limit is 30, and only local traffic is allowed. Especially on the cyclists dedicated to the Prince Regent street in Wilmersdorf, it often comes to conflicts. “Since the bollards would be installed,” says Klaus Wittke from Johannisthal, uses several times a week on the road. “This is alley, a rat run for the Federal. The police is not in control.“
Recently, a motorist against the establishment in the Prince Regent had complained – as a bike road, with the Argument that the road will not be used predominantly by cyclists. The administrative court dismissed the action but, in both directions passable road was in some Places only 4.60 meters wide. Do “mixed traffic is dangerous”.
The through traffic could switch to the parallel Federal Avenue. For years, the district will be discussed, as car traffic can be taken out of the Bicycle road – so far without tangible result. Activists plead for years for a lock bollard in the amount of the public parks or at the entrance at the corner of the road Wexstraße.
In the district offices personnel for the planning of Bicycle paths
Cycling has increased in the past year by nine percent, says Andrew Paul of the ADFC on the Demo in Berlin-Adlershof, however, the red-red-green coalition was playing catch-up, as promised, the build-up of infrastructure for safe Cycling.
In the district offices, the most common answer is that there is a lack of personnel for the planning of cycle paths. There are plenty of professional companies that would like to take over, as the Danish company Ramboll, which has won the tender for six of the ten fast cycle routes.
