Birkenfeld district cycling concept

Public participation in cycling in the Birkenfeld district has started!

All cyclists in the Birkenfeld National Park district are invited to actively participate in the further development of the cycle path network. The platform wegedetektiv.de/landkreis-birkenfeld can be used to submit tips, ideas and suggestions for improvement until September 15.

The online map offers various options:

• The dot symbol can be used to mark locations, e.g. missing parking facilities or dropped kerbs.
• The pencil symbol can be used to draw lines for missing or unsafe cycle paths.
• Short explanations, categories and photos can be added to each marker.

Contributions from other users can be supported via smiley voting. All feedback is anonymous and will be incorporated into the planning of the new cycling concept.

Important: The platform is not used to report potholes or short-term problems, but is intended to help develop structural improvements - such as new connections or safer crossings.

The planning office VIA from Cologne, which has already designed a district-wide cycle path network of around 450 kilometers, has been commissioned with the project. Open questions on individual routes are to be clarified with the help of public participation.

The district of Birkenfeld expressly requests that the link to the participation platform be distributed as widely as possible - for example via associations, schools, companies and social networks. This way, as many people as possible can contribute their ideas and improve the cycle path network together.

The district of Birkenfeld is looking forward to numerous suggestions from committed "path detectives" to make cycling even more attractive and safer.
