City Councilor Fürstenfeldbruck: B2 conversion for less traffic and more citizen participation!

Fürstenfeldbruck, Deutschland - The City Council of Fürstenfeldbruck decided on May 30, 2025 to rededicate the B2 in the city center. This creates a new route that runs via Oskar-von-Miller-Straße, Fürstenfelder Straße and the outer Schöngeisinger Straße. This relocation is temporary and should apply until a third amper crossing is created. Mayor Götz emphasized that the measure serves to keep heavy goods traffic from the city center. The unanimity of the decision reflects general approval in the city council, even if some members expressed concerns.

CSU parliamentary group leader Lohde pointed out the ambiguity of the costs, while Karin Geißler from the citizens of Fürstenfeldbruck (BBV) called for a strong citizen participation. Both Jan Halbauer (Greens) and Philipp Heimerl (SPD) support the relocation of the B2, as they look at them as a step in the right direction to relieve the city center. In particular 2. Mayor Christian Stangl (Greens) sees this decision a historical opportunity to strengthen the planning sovereignty of the city.

concerns of the residents

The residents understandably expressed concerns, especially with regard to speed restrictions and possible structural changes. However, Mayor Götz assured that all speeds and structural measures will take place in close coordination with the city. In addition, noise protection measures and the possible increase in traffic were addressed. Götz referred to previous data surveys that should contribute to decision -making.

The discussion about the effects of these traffic calming measures on the new B2 is already underway, with the city trying to find a balance between the flow of traffic and quality of living. The balance between urban quality of life and emission -free traffic solutions remains a central challenge.

background to the traffic transition

The need for a comprehensive turnover of traffic is also underpinned by the current discussion about the traffic sector in Germany. Scientific bodies emphasize that climate -damaging emissions in traffic urgently need to be reduced in order to maintain urban space and to prevent an overload of the infrastructure. In this context, the reconciliation of the B2 is gained in importance, since the turnover of the traffic is not only an urban but also a nationwide task.

The mobility turn is a central aspect of urban development and requires an integrated approach to take into account both urban and rural requirements. Environmentally friendly modes of transport and the reduction of unnecessary traffic are the focus. Concepts such as the "Livable City" and the "15-minute city" show successful starting points for the shift in traffic behavior.

The challenges are diverse and cannot be limited to the needs of a city. A rethinking of the transport infrastructure, according to the goals of climate policy, is essential. Innovative approaches such as car and bikes sharing and the expansion of cycling must be promoted in order to increase the quality of life of the citizens and to make the urban space sustainable.

In this sense, yesterday's decision of the city council is another step towards a future -proof mobility for the city of Fürstenfeldbruck.
