Rostock's tram West: Citizens shape the new tram connection!
A big step for the Rostock traffic landscape: the expansion of the tram network, which leads from the zoo to Reutershagen, takes concrete forms. The final citizen participation has recently taken place and offers the Rostockers the opportunity to express their ideas and concerns. As part of this important process, route variants for the new tram line in the west of the city were developed. The participants analyzed the traffic, urban planning and ecological effects of the possible route guides. This reports nnn .
The focus of the discussion was the strengths and weaknesses of the various suggestions, which were supplemented with sensible suggestions for improvement. In the end, the decision was made in favor of a preferred variant, which provides for a distance of almost four kilometers. However, this structure must still be revised by experts.important aspects of planning
A controversial section that runs between Barnstorfer Ring and Goerdelerstrasse was excluded because the variant is not implemented by allotment gardens. Instead, the preferred variant runs roughly along the Groß Schwasser way, even if it affects some allotment gardens. Interestingly, a better connection to the extended Park+Ride offer is also planned. As a special novelty, the stop is integrated directly on the CJD school campus, which will certainly benefit the students and teachers.
The permanent cycling infrastructure is also an important part of the project, since it is taken into account in all variants. With the results of the citizen participation, valuable suggestions flow into the further planning. Another important date is imminent: On September 20, the preferred variant will be presented at the open day of the RSAG, followed by an online participation that enables citizens to express their hymns or concerns.
environmentally friendly mobility in focus
The tram route is expected to be realized by 2030 and cost more than 60 million euros. The RSAG board members Yvette Hartmann and Jan Bleis are pleased with the positive developments and emphasize how important environmentally friendly mobility is for the future of the city. In September 2023, the corridor West was decided as a preferred expansion variant, a decision that promises both economic and ecological advantages for the Rostock citizens. The planning will continue to be promoted in the coming months and is intended to determine the optimal course of the new route. Civil society has also accepted this assessment, which points out that the participation of civil society is essential to avoid misunderstandings and frustrations. It is important that the citizens are sufficiently informed and have the opportunity to help shape the planning processes Buergergesellschaft.de .
summarized: The development of the Rostock Zoo tram line to Reutershagen is an occasional find with regard to urban mobility concepts. Thanks to the active integration of the citizens and transparent planning, this initiative could give an example of future -oriented urban development. The next steps are clear: the preliminary planning is pending and the relevant aspects will be collected and evaluated by autumn 2024.
