Cycle paths in the district of Kassel: 201,000 euros for better bike connections!

The cycle path network is expanded rapidly in the Kassel district! In order to make cycling not only for leisure activity, but also in everyday life an attractive option, the region is massively investing in the improvement and safety of the bike paths. "Cycling is fun and is good for health. That is why it is right and important that we are constantly investing in the expansion and safety of our cycle paths in the district of Kassel," emphasizes District Administrator Andreas Siebert when handing over a funding notice in Niestetal.

The municipality of Niestetal has benefited from a generous funding program and receives 12,000 euros to optimize the cycle path connection between Heiligenrode and low -bodies. Mayor Marcel Brückmann is pleased about the uncomplicated support of the district: "The funding helps us to meet the needs of citizens in the field of adhesion funding." In addition, a dilapidated 500 meter long section of the popular Losetal cycle path, which was plagued by potholes and coarse gravel, is brought up to around 20,000 euros-a funding rate of impressive 60 percent!

Funding for numerous projects

A total of 20 applications from 12 municipalities were submitted this year, and the grants add up to over 201,000 euros! Here are some of the funded projects:

  • 19.278 Euro für die Stadt Wolfhagen zur Beschaffung und Installation von Fahrradabstellanlagen
