Bergisch Gladbach Redesigns Attenberger-Dom-Straße for Safety and Sustainability

Bergisch Gladbach's local authority has announced plans to redesign Attenberger-Dom-Straße. The project aims to adapt to modern standards and improve safety, rather than being a significant redesign. Notably, it will not expand motor vehicle lanes but instead reduce their width to accommodate bike and pedestrian traffic.

The city has confirmed that no plan approval procedure was required for this safe redesign. Instead, they focused on citizen participation, offering opportunities for dialogue despite not measuring it against a plan approval process.

The planned measures aim to bring the street in line with modern standards and safe requirements. Rather than a complete overhaul, the project will reduce lane widths for motor vehicles, creating more space for cyclists and pedestrians.
