Cologne Prioritizes Bike and Pedestrian Traffic in Altenberger-Dom-Straße Revamp

Cologne is set to revamp the Altenberger-Dom-Straße, prioritising bike and pedestrian traffic. The local authority has confirmed the legality of the project, which doesn't require formal plan approval.

The city is reducing lane widths for motor vehicles to create more space for cyclists and pedestrians. The existing bike and pedestrian paths are inadequate, and the planned measures aim to address these shortcomings by introducing bike lanes and wider sidewalks.

The project aims to adapt to modern standards, such as ERA and RASt06, and enhance safety and traffic flow. Despite not being a significant redesign, citizen participation was offered to ensure community involvement.

The reconstruction of Altenberger-Dom-Straße in Cologne will prioritise bike and pedestrian traffic, with lane reductions for motor vehicles. The local authority has confirmed the legality of the project, and the city is committed to modern standards and safety improvements.
