Safe and environmentally friendly: New cycle path to the Pöttelsdorf business park

In Pöttelsdorf, a new cycle path was built to the business park, which makes it easier for employees to travel safely. This path, which creates a direct connection from the commercial area to the Mattersburg Arena and further into the town center, was built for an impressive 150,000 euros. The path is now part of the national cycle path R1, which is an important route for many cyclists.

The construction of the cycle path is part of a larger initiative that aims to gradually transform Burgenland into a model country for cyclists by 2024. Mayor Christian Kurz emphasizes that over 550 people are employed in the Pöttelsdorf business park and that the new bicycle connection is crucial to promote mobility beyond the car.

Investment in cycling infrastructure

The expansion comes amid a broad strategy by the country that aims to invest up to 25 million euros in cycling infrastructure. The aim is to create secure connections between different places and to company locations. These developments are necessary to increase bicycle use and promote the benefits of cycling in the region.

The conversion of the footpath in the commercial area into a shared footpath and cycle path as well as the creation of a cycle path next to the busy B50 show that farmers can also benefit from the new regulation. The new traffic regulations, such as a maximum speed of 30 km/h on the cycle path, enable safe and comfortable use. The project, whose construction began in June and was completed in September, ensures that cyclists are now allowed to ride side by side, making cycling more enjoyable.

To put it simply: This new cycle connection is an important step in promoting cycling infrastructure and offers people safer and faster routes to their jobs in Pöttelsdorf. For further details and information about this initiative, see the report on www.meinkreis.at.
