Radschnellweg OWL 2.0: Green light for the bike connection between cities!

A groundbreaking step for cyclists! The planned cycling fast path between Herford, Bielefeld, Gütersloh and Rheda-Wiedenbrück has received green light. The feasibility study, which has now been handed over to North Rhine-Westphalia Minister Oliver Krischer, shows that this ambitious project can actually be realized. The four participating municipalities and the Gütersloh district have teamed up to set the course for future -oriented mobility.

The feasibility study is a masterpiece of inter -municipal cooperation! It includes a comprehensive potential analysis, a benefit-cost analysis and a route recommendation, supplemented by a well thought-out communication strategy. Transport Minister Krischer praised the project as a prime example of successful cooperation between cities. "We set all levers in motion so that a high-quality bicycle traffic connection can be realized on this axis between Herford and Rheda-Wiedenbrück," he emphasized. The bicycle traffic is the key to a sustainable turnover of traffic!

important steps to implement

The handover of the feasibility study took place in the historic town hall of Wiedenbrück, where Mayor Theo Mettenborg emphasized the importance of the project. "Realization is an important part of our future mobility," he said. The study has proven the required potential and profitability of the route recommendation and fits seamlessly into the existing bicycle traffic concepts of the region.

Now the ball is at the state of North Rhine -Westphalia! The feasibility study is examined and in the event of a positive evaluation, it is included in the country's need for cycling. This is the first crucial step towards realizing a cycle path that combines the cities and promotes the mobility of the future. The anticipation for a better cycling infrastructure is increasing!
