Villach: Sustainable unsealing of Meister-Erhard-Allee completed
There is exciting news on Meister-Erhard-Allee in Villach. Not only is work being done here on the transport infrastructure, but a step towards environmental friendliness is also being taken. An asphalt parking area of 500 square meters was recently permanently unsealed. This means that the old asphalt has been removed to make way for fresh greenery.
The work is part of a broader project that also saw 700 square meters of roadway resurfaced. The aim of this initiative is to protect the environment while improving traffic flow. The asphalt is replaced by a special humus-gravel mixture that is intended to allow grass to grow so that a beautiful lawn can sprout in just a few months.
Sustainability at the center
Vice Mayor Sarah Katholnig, who is also responsible for sustainability, emphasizes the importance of the measures. “Where there used to be asphalt parking spaces, the asphalt was removed by a forestry specialist with an excavator to ensure the highest level of protection for trees and their roots,” she explains. In this way, the city wants to ensure that nature is not only preserved, but that new living spaces can also be created.
The area will also be rolled in the near future to ensure that the area remains stable and walkable. Harald Sobe, the construction officer, also emphasizes the good cooperation between the various city departments. “On the one hand, the road was renewed for road users, and at the same time the asphalt was removed from the parking lots so that the greenery can grow soon,” he says.
These projects underline the city of Villach's commitment to sustainable urban development. Such measures not only reduce the ecological footprint, but also create a more beautiful living space for citizens and visitors. In just a few months, residents and passers-by will be able to enjoy the green spaces on Meister-Erhard-Allee.
