a fight passionately to you, the other you don’t want to accept without a fight: The Südspange remains a hot iron. The advocates are organized in the “protection of the community against traffic nuisance in wooden churches” – and the felt on the rise.

wooden churches – Simon Drexl, there is no doubt. The Chairman of the “protection of community” is convinced that the majority of the wood Kirchner supported the construction of a Südspange.

Should schedule the city Council Ratsbegehren, will “pronounce as in 2003, a clear majority of the citizens for a southern bypass,” said Drexl now. This optimism has also shaped the recently held meeting of the members. 16 years ago, voted in a referendum, 73 per cent of the municipality citizens, for the construction of a southern bypass. “We will do everything that the democratic decision of the required implementation follows,” announced Drexl.

But this is future music. Clearly is not even, whether it ever comes to a Ratsbegehren (see box). It was the protection of the community in the past year, to find a weighty ally: the CSU Chapter and the CSU-group in the market, the “Open Alliance of pro southern bypass was municipal Council” was founded. Together they wanted to push the solution to the wood Kirchner traffic problems, insured Drexl. You know a broad base. With 425 members of the protection community as “the strongest representation of their interests in wooden churches on the topic of transport and development”.

In the current line of discussion, the Alliance has submitted a large scale proposal, the bypasses in the short mountain and Großhartpenning in the East and South of Thann and Lochham on the B 318 hits (we reported). As the path comes to Sufferloh over – direct-under the Frauenbergl or to the West of the village in the curve to the right – makes the proposal; both options will consider the highways Department.

Drexl trust the experts from Rosenheim. In a conversation with authorities in-chief Stefan Högenauer and planners Bernhard Bauer, this had shown that they were informed about the surroundings of the wooden churches very well. The municipality should not be expected to make informed, expert and reliable suggestions.

The Südspange is for the members of the protection community is a first step to get rid of the wooden churches, in front of an exuberant transport, Drexl. The ring road will relieve the village of through traffic, particularly heavy goods traffic.

In a second step, to be graded urban are the B 13 and the state highways (Miesbach, Tegernsee and bad tölz street, as well as the Münchner Straße) municipal roads. In return, the North clasp could be upgraded to state road. This exchange allows the municipality access to the thoroughfares, which could then be due to structural measures more reassured.

You can also support the Expansion of Bus and rail connections, made it clear Drexl. There is a Consensus among the members was, however, “that this is not a substitute for a diversion”, because of the constantly increasing volume of traffic and the Truck traffic could not be absorbed.

The large-scale project southern bypass could come in 2019 in fact, a decisive step forward. The Road administration is examining about two dozen of the route proposals of citizens, and initiatives; as a basis, the authority had a resistance card.

Stefan Högenauer, head of the national roads authority, has announced that the submitted variants office of professional review in the first half of the year 2019. Mayor Olaf von Löwis (CSU) is planning a public Council meeting in the Oberbräu-hall.

it is Known that some initiatives, such as the “citizens Association of churches against the planned bypass of wood”, a Null variant have submitted, so any new road between the B 13 and B 318 to reject.

Are presented to the variants, the market municipality, wood churches on the train. The southern bypass is in the current Federal transport infrastructure plan is set to high priority (“urgent requirement”), the vote of the municipality of great political importance in the realization of the project.

“As a Council, we are asked to send a Signal,” Löwis. For a rigorous rejection of any route he sees in the municipal Council was not a majority. Whether it comes to votes on individual route proposals is equally unclear.

Löwis thinks more like a Ratsbegehren, this is the opinion of the electorate wooden Kirchner queries. To clarify would be whether a Ratsbegehren may also cover the “Zero-alternative”, or whether the opponent of any Südspange vote by not choosing indirectly, because the Ratsbegehren obtained in the case of low turnout (a minimum of 20 percent) is not valid.

The mayor himself is in favour, in principle, for the construction of a Südspange. “Otherwise, we get the through traffic, which accounts for a quarter of the total traffic in the wooden churches, not from the place”, says town hall boss.
