maintain The temporary bike bridge between Schongau and Peiting, only once, this was again challenged in a Council meeting. Although the state Department does not see in Weilheim the need to, but still talks. A bit of time yet for the end of may, planned removal was postponed to the end of August.

Schongau – "The state Department is us because of the delays at the mühlkanal bridge still guilty of something." Councillor Friedrich Zeller (SPD) has a very clear opinion, which he brought recently in the city Council meeting. The temporary Bicycle and pedestrian bridge, built by the Department during the Work on the mühlkanal bridge, should remain until there is a proper solution for a crossing of the Dießener road, so his desire.

Zeller favored the so-called "fairy forest bridge". The current temporary bridge is owned by the construction company, maybe you could replace these but, had Zeller suggested in the session. "The Schongauer and Peitinger have so much patience, now the Department could accommodate us."

Timely appointment with Peitings mayor planned

"Quite as simple as it is stated," had indicated to mayor Falk Siuyterman already in the session, in contrast, give on the part of the administration a variety of arguments. In the meeting, he said, to arrange a timely appointment with the new Peitinger mayor Peter East Rieder and the theme, once again, to tackle.

town hall chiefs: Provisional cycle route better than the guide on the road

This would be the second attempt in this direction.Already at the beginning of March a joint Letter that he and the then Peitinger town hall chief Michael Asam was posted, went to the building Department in Weilheim, directly to the Senior Director of construction, Uwe Fritsch. "This temporary bike path and the temporary bridge are all better and safer than the previous guidance of cyclists on the road", said Siuyterman and Asam.

state Department: Temporary bridge permanently unsuitable

attention spent on the promotion of everyday Cycling, the negative response from the State Department. This means rather a subsequent installation of cycle tracks on Federal and state roads. Only where it is unavoidably and significantly more economical, could be away from finances description the bike paths from the easement carrier. "The temporary bridge in Schongau is already due to too small a width for a regular, long-term Cycling is unsuitable," says Fritsch in the response.

Peitinger road to urban to be expanded

A necessity to maintain the bridge, does not see also Christopher Prause, project Manager from the State Department in Weilheim,. The new mühlkanal bridge was already invests generously with a combined bike and walk: 2.50 m are provided on both sides. The cyclist in the direction of Peiting should then be in a further step, after the end of the village on a crossing aid on the Lech side. Urban will be expanded in the Peitinger road in the near future – including the UPM-confluence. There are various construction variations available already, added Fritsch.

the next step was an agreement with the city of Schongau on the preferred expansion solution, the expansion of road systems is to be realized in the next few years.

residents also have a say

Apart from the fact that the bridge of the construction company belong to, it was too narrow and inappropriate, must also pay the town of Schongau for the maintenance of, the note from the State Department. Also, the way of the Lech of the water economy management. And the residents still had something to say about that. "The residents are not burdened on one side by the road permanently and it would be then also from the Lech side", there Prause to bear in mind.

A conversation with the city of Schongau and the market town of will be offered in any case, an appointment should even be in the short term, agreed, stressed Fritsch. A little air is still, Actually, a reduction in appointment status by the end of may in the room, this has now been moved to after 21. August.

Not all of the councillors are not behind the receipt of the provisional bridge

In addition, the whole Council is obviously not behind the receipt of the provisional Radelbrücke, as in the meeting had shown that "The bridge is for cyclists not practical," had complained Bettina Buresch (Green). She was smooth, too tight, one had to descend. And a detour on the way also. "If you ride on the road even in the analog world, this is not a practical path. I don't see it at all, spend money on them.“

Peitings mayor Peter East Rieder wants to to the event, but also ask whether it is not the citizens but rather to the road and cycle along. "This bike path would be open and accessible."
