Krems creates safe ways: Cyclists and pedestrians in focus!

With various projects that are already in implementation, safe and attractive exercise areas are to be created. The innovations are particularly important for residents and commuters.

This is how the local council decided to redesign the Herzogstrasse. Over a length of 55 meters, it is transformed into a meeting zone and the investments add up to around 355,000 euros. Mayor Peter Molnar (SPÖ) emphasizes that this measure benefits all road users and focuses on equality, such as MeinDärzirk reports .

Furthermore, a new walking and cycle path along the state road L 114 opened in Mautern on the Danube. The project is intended to increase traffic safety for all users. The Sportplatzstraße in Hollenburg also received a new revision, which was positively recognized by the municipal councils from Krems-Süd.
