Investor notification: Alterations in Lony and Löbserstraße

In the heart of Wieseck, a significant change is on the horizon as Lony Street and Lober Street are being designated as bike streets. This decision aims to improve the living quality for residents and the entire city society.

Until now, general motor vehicle traffic was allowed through these streets, leading to potential conflicts and noise pollution. However, the new regulations will restrict vehicle access, prioritising cyclists and pedestrians.

Lony Street and Lober Street will now be open only to residents and those with business in the area. For others, through traffic will be shifted to main streets such as Ludwig Street, Berlin Square, or the South Anlage. This measure aims to save cyclists the need to cross the busy Bismarck Street when they want to travel along Wieseck.

The city police will enforce these new regulations in the near future, ensuring that unnecessary conflicts with cars using the streets as a shortcut can be avoided in daily life. The one-way street Lober Street is being prepared for bike traffic in the opposite direction between Bismarck Street and Goethe Street.

The adjustment to Lober Street is part of the city's ongoing efforts to prioritise bike and pedestrian traffic on designated bike streets. The city is fulfilling legislative requirements for bike streets by implementing this measure. This change aims to create more safety and clarity for cyclists and pedestrians.

Residents will experience a noticeable reduction in through traffic, leading to less noise, fewer emissions, and improved living quality. Car traffic remains accessible on Lony Street and Lober Street for residents and those with business there.

The new rules are being implemented with the goal of achieving a sustainable improvement of the situation in the neighbourhood. The adjustment to Lony Street and Lober Street brings the city closer to the goal of making bike streets safe and livable places for bike and pedestrian traffic.

The city's ongoing commitment to prioritising bike and pedestrian traffic is evident in this change. It's a step towards a greener, quieter, and more livable Wieseck. The new signage will be installed soon to ensure a smooth transition to the new regulations.
