Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis Approves Altenberger-Dom-Straße Renovation

The local authority in Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis has given the green light to renovation plans for Altenberger-Dom-Straße in North Rhine-Westphalia. The project aims to address current infrastructure issues, including insufficient bike and pedestrian paths, traffic congestion, and parking safety concerns.

The renovation, approved by the local building authority (Bauaufsichtsbehörde), does not involve expanding motor vehicle traffic capacity, adhering to § 38 StrWG NRW. It is classified as maintenance rather than a significant redesign, focusing on adapting to modern regulations and safety requirements.

The process was initiated through a building application submitted by an architect, who worked with the local building authority until the permit was granted. Notably, the local authority concluded that the city acted within legal bounds by approving the redesign without a formal plan approval procedure. Despite this, citizen participation was offered to ensure community involvement.

The renovation of Altenberger-Dom-Straße in North Rhine-Westphalia is set to proceed, addressing key infrastructure shortcomings. The project adheres to legal requirements and has been approved by the local authority, with citizen participation encouraged despite no formal plan approval procedure being necessary.
