Citizens defend themselves: Open letter against the B19 expansion in Königsbronn!

In Königsbronn, resistance is stuck to the expansion plans of the federal road B19. In an open letter, 15 citizens have expressed their concerns, which they perceive as "monstrous" and "annoying". The planned measures to widen the roads are seen as a threat to the village community because they could divide the place into two parts. This could lead to unmistakable changes in the townscape, fear the signatories of the letter.

The road width is particularly concerned about a doubling, which would represent a barrier for children, seniors and people with disabilities. In addition, the residents have concerns about impending traffic jams, especially at the planned circular reversals at the Rewe crossing and on Zahnbergerstrasse. The years full of diversions, dirt and noise during construction have also reinforced the discomfort among the population. In addition, there is the criticism of the already ongoing construction work on the Itzelberger See and at the entrance to Königsbronn.

Defense of the expansion plans

Mayor Jörg Weiler and local master builder Jörg Bielke vehemently defend the planning planning. The aim of the project is to strengthen cycling and improve the flow of traffic. In the course of the redesign, new cycle paths are to be created to promote cycling. Additional greening between the lanes is also planned, which should create a more harmonious environment. In addition, those responsible emphasize that the number of pedestrian crossings will remain the same with nine pieces. The demolition of a building next to the goal keeper house is also planned to make room for a new office and medical center.

Currently, three variants for the planned roundabouts are being examined, which are to be discussed with the local council in the near future. According to the SHP traffic planning , current traffic services are of central importance for well-founded traffic planning. The experts offer short-term and long-term counts to evaluate and adapt the efficiency of the traffic facilities.

accident with consequences

Both, the driver and the child, were brought to a clinic as a precaution. In this context, the police ask for testimonies, especially people who have seen the Black Audi. The combination of risky behavior in road traffic and the existing problems around the B19 in the municipality of Königsbronn leads to an increased need for traffic safety and a critical examination of the current and planned construction projects.
