Solid problems stop building permit: new shopping center in Burscheid delayed!

in Burscheid has been speculated for over a year about the start of construction for the new shopping center on Montanusstrasse. This project, which is of great importance for the city, provides for the establishment of a central inner -city retail location and could significantly change the cityscape. The urban administration has now announced an update to the "Montanusquartier", which is realized by the Essen project developer Wierst and Schoo. On the site that extends from a former employee car park of the city to the former bus station, however, there are problems with the soil that require new planning of the underground car park.

The Balkan route, a popular bike path, has been closed for about a year and a half to make room for this conversion measures. A technical examination of the statics is necessary, and contractual regulations with the investor also require a re -expression or extension. Despite these challenges, the investor is optimistic and plans to start the construction work in August.

delays and challenges

The building permit by the Rheinisch-Bergische Kreis has also proven to be problematic due to delays, which affects planning security for the project. The pressure on those responsible is particularly increasing before the upcoming local elections in September, as progress must be visible until then.

The planned center includes a bakery, a drugstore from DM, gastronomy offers and various living rooms. Critics of the project, such as the Burscheider entrepreneur Karl-Ulrich Voss, see the project as oversized, in particular the supermarket, the size of which it does not consider.

construction measures and diversions

In preparation for the construction work, various steps are required. These include the shift of the panoramic cycle path to the north, the laying of a gas high pressure line, the demolition of existing buildings and the dismantling of the former bus station. The first phase of laying the foot and bike path started on May 2, and the section will be closed until the project was completed in 2025.

Derirandings for cycling have been set up to ensure the security and freedom of movement of the residents. These were taken into account both in the tour planner app and in the Radroutenplanner NRW and are also noted on Google Maps. During the construction work there may also be restrictions by the city furniture in the area, including the removal of garbage buckets and benches.

In addition, a tree is felled, and the city administration has asked for understanding for the temporary restrictions that arise from the necessary construction work.

For further information on the land use planning in Burscheid and the corresponding urban planning regulations, interested citizens can view the official documents at the Office for Urban Development Planning or use the construction plan information of the Rheinisch-Bergische Kreis.

For the completed development plans and specific information, there are fees depending on the request. However, the city endeavors to regularly check the need for the closures and the course of the diversions.

The city of Burscheid faces a significant urban change that brings both challenges and opportunities.
