Rellinger Straße: Moratorium endangers the first school road in Hamburg!
The plans for a car -free school road in front of the Rellinger Straße school in Eimsbüttel are on the brink. Actually, the conversion of the section between Spengelweg and Gradenerstraße this summer should begin, but a moratorium of the new red-green Senate for projects where parking spaces are eliminated, the projects paralyzed. A total of 31 parking spaces should give way to improve the security and quality of stay for school children. Eimsbütteler Nachrichten reports that all dismantling must first be stopped due to the moratorium.
parent initiatives and transport associations stand behind the plans and call for the implementation of the traffic transition. With the school road, which is to be established as a permanent solution according to the Paris model, through traffic could be significantly reduced. In Paris there are already over 300 of these streets, which are only accessible to pedestrians, cyclists and rescue vehicles. "We are frustrated about the delays and the effects on the safety of our children," said representative of the alliance of parents' council and the General German Bicycle Club Hamburg.
obstacles and solutions
The press spokeswoman for the traffic authority explains that the checking of the parking pressure in the affected road sections in accordance with the "Parking Master Plan" is currently running and should soon be completed. Cornelia Rosenberg, press spokeswoman for the Eimsbüttel district, also explained that it is an important EU project that should continue the city for child-friendly traffic planning. The goal of reducing the number of “parent taxis” has a high priority.
Schulstrasse would celebrate a premiere in Hamburg and would be part of the "Superbüttel" concept, which was initiated in 2021. However, the question remains in the room how quickly the implementation now progresses, while pilot projects have already been started in other cities, such as in Dortmund and Mönchengladbach.
a step in the right direction?
In the broader discussion about child -friendly traffic planning, reference is also made to the importance of school roads. changing cities emphasizes that such roads not only provide more security, they also contribute to improving air quality. Action weeks in Germany demand child and bicycle-friendly places and show that the legal framework for municipalities is often a challenge but is necessary.
The AG Safe School path sees the slowdown of progress critically and fears that the safety of the children will remain at risk without effective measures in Eimsbüttel. The conversion of Rellinger Straße could at least a small but important step in the right direction when the plans finally become a reality and Hamburg follows the example of other cities.
