New bridge in Bad Vilbel: Cyclists are now driving to the outdoor pool!

in Bad Vilbel a lot is happening in terms of cycling. An important piece of infrastructure has now been made fit again: the walking and cycle path bridge at the end of Wiesengasse now enables unhindered access to Vilco, the outdoor pool and the sports facilities. So far, cyclists have had to get off the outdoor swimming room because the railing was too low. But that is now a thing of the past, because the railing has been increased so that the cyclists can in future drive comfortably over the jetty without having to descend. The new height of the railing fulfills the strict standards for bars and bridges that can be driven on with bicycles, as wetterau.news.

Mayor and head of mobility Sebastian Wysocki described the measure as part of the nearby nearby strategy, which aims to improve the connections and shorter paths in Bad Vilbel. This initiative is not only an improvement in the current infrastructure, but also an implementation of a recommendation from the city's cycling concept. With an investment of around 20,000 euros, this step sees itself as part of the comprehensive measures to promote cycling.

improved cycling infrastructure for all

The cycling concept of the city of Bad Vilbel was updated last year to create a safe and attractive cycling network for all cyclists. This is particularly important because a total of 527 reports from citizens have been received to improve the network of cycle paths. These messages outline existing and missing connections as well as danger spots and the need for storage systems. Travel by a commissioned planning office follows in order to take into account the concerns of the citizens. A public information event on August 28th also gave insights into the current state of the developments Radmobil-Bad-Vilbel. The National Radio Plan 3.0 (NRVP) plays a crucial role as part of a larger national strategy. This program of the federal government, adopted at the end of 2022, aims to make cycling in Germany much more attractive and safer by 2030. In addition to improving the infrastructure, the plan also encourages the creation of complete cycling networks. This corresponds to the goal of "Bahrradland Germany 2030", which is designed to establish cycling as a self -evident and pleasant way of moving. The federal government, the federal states and municipalities are required to actively promote the cycle path infrastructure on site BMV.

The outdoor swimming pool in Bad Vilbel has a long history. There has been a connection at this point since 1727. After several conversions, including a wooden footbridge and today's precautionary concrete bridge from 1984, the jetty is now in new splendor. The city has freshly painted the outdoor pool bar as part of the preparations for the Hessentag in order to give the area an appealing look.

Overall, Bad Vilbel is on the right track to make cycling more attractive and safer. With these measures, the city not only ensures a better cycle path network, but also promotes the sustainable mobility concept of its citizens.
