Am Funkturm Street Transformed: Safer, Greener, and Climate-Resilient

Am Funkturm Street in the Schölerberg district has recently undergone a significant transformation, with construction work completed. The project, lasting around three months, has brought numerous improvements to the street, contributing to climate adaptation and enhancing safety and accessibility.

The street's road surface was entirely renewed over a length of approximately 600 meters. Additionally, nine narrowings were installed to calm traffic and encourage safer driving. The entire street is now a 30 km/h zone with a right-of-way rule, further promoting safety.

The entrance area to Hauswörmannsweg was redesigned, with a reduction in road width and a new pedestrian crossing. This change, along with the installation of a new pedestrian crossing on Bröckerweg, has made crossing the street safer and more convenient for pedestrians.

The project also saw the creation of approximately 180 square meters of additional green space. A marked no-parking area was established on Bröckerweg to ensure sufficient space for the school bus and the night bus line N6, although not all parking spaces could be retained.

The resealing of Am Funkturm Street has not only improved the quality of stay but also contributed to climate adaptation. The street now boasts enhanced safety features, better pedestrian crossings, and increased green space. Despite some adjustments to parking, the changes are expected to benefit the community as a whole.
