Big plans for Perlebergs ZOB: more parking spaces and new security!

The central Omnibusbahnhof (ZOB) in Perleberg faces a necessary renewal, which was decided in the last meeting of the Urban Development Committee. The state of the ZOB has deteriorated significantly in the past two years; The pavement is wavy and loose in some places, which affects the bus trips. In the almost 30-year history of the ZOB, which was built in 1995, the materials reached its limits. A large part of the city councils agree: something has to be done urgently. The Nordkurier reports, among other things, a high sealing of the surfaces and a missing barrier-free concept.

The city has now developed concrete plans to not only repair the ZOB, but also to improve sustainably. In the restructuring, separate path leaders are planned for cyclists and pedestrians to avoid conflicts. In addition, buses are to be arranged in an inclined line -up, the train station receives a direct connection. A new covered waiting hall with benches, a drinking water fountain and barrier-free toilet facility will also be part of the design. The air quality should also be improved by an innovative air purification system with Mooswand.

investments and funding

The total cost of the renovation amounts to around 2.8 million euros, with 75% of the costs being eligible. An eligible application has already been submitted to the State Office for Building and Transport, what from the maz is considered urgently necessary. The mayor has emphasized that a full closure should be avoided during the construction work in order to continue to provide bus bays.

The planned redesign also provides for the creation of 45 parking spaces, including 4 with charging stations for electric vehicles. In the discussion about the parking lot planning, committee members expressed concerns and demanded more parking space, which makes the current planning appear to be positive, but the parking situation remains a hot iron. The criticism of the high sealing is not unfounded, but is also the obligation to reduce this according to the federal legislation.

accessibility and mobility of the future

A central point of renewal is accessibility. The [public transport strategy 2030] (https://www.zukunftsnetzwerk-oepnv.de/oepnv-strategy 2030/infrastructure/barrier-free) stipulates that mobility offers must be accessible to everyone. This includes not only a barrier -free design of the infrastructure at stops and stations, but also the training of the vehicles. A well thought -out concept for accessibility is thus increasingly in the focus of the planners.

On July 1, the topic will be dealt with again in the Finance Committee in order to discuss the further procedure and to advance the plans. It remains to be seen whether the citizens will be satisfied with the changes. In any case, it turns out that the city of Perleberg has a good hand when it comes to taking a look at the mobility needs of the residents and developing future -oriented solutions.
