Citizens' initiatives are calling for new route: is the change for Sigmaringen?

Sigmaringen, Deutschland - The discussion about the construction of the Nordstrasse and the alternative C1 citizens' route in the Sigmaringen region escalated. Members of citizens' initiatives vehemently demand a new road connection to relieve heavy goods traffic and significantly improve the flow of traffic. At Nordstrasse, the Princely House, represented by Raimund Friderichs from the Forestry, shows little willingness to talk. He emphasizes that the planned C1 route would primarily affect the most valuable forest areas and endanger the economic interests of the Princely House. "It is simply a false assertion that the Princely House would sell forest for the construction of this route," explains Friderichs, and points out that it is only possible to take possession of the forest by expropriation if someone is actually interested in the C1-Trasse, as Schwäbische.de reported.

planning and challenges

District Administrator Stefanie Bürkle, however, supports the commitment of the citizens' initiative and signals that the BI route will also be included in the planning considerations. "We would like to have the C1 route examined by an expert," said Bürkle. However, the challenge seems great: A total of 24,000 hectares are planned, which must be assessed in order to find the best possible solution for the region. Project planner Thomas Blum speaks of an ambitious schedule that provides for a planning approval application by 2028. Nevertheless, the time pressure is high, since the traffic -typical transport services urgently need to be increased in order to relieve the residential areas from the burden of heavy goods traffic, as reported on Nordtrasseb311n.de

The opinions on the north road are shared: While some local mayors and construction planners see this connection between quantities and Meßkirch, others in the north road see a long -term burden for the population. An important aspect is that heavy goods traffic is expected to continue to increase, regardless of which route is realized. "We have to act in order to preserve future generations from a traffic collapse," emphasizes municipal councilor René Laplace, and urges a common solution that takes everyone involved.
