Increasing prevalence of bicycles and scooters observed in Harburg.

In the heart of Germany, Harburg is taking strides towards a more sustainable future. The district is looking for a comprehensive and needs-based parking solution for bicycles and e-scooters, as part of a larger initiative to make Harburg a cycling city.

The online participation for supporting the creation of this concept is open from April 8 to May 6, 2024. Harburg residents can digitally contribute to the process through the platform "Bicycle Parking Harburg" (Bicycle Parking Harburg).

The platform serves as a means for residents to voice their opinions and suggestions, helping to shape a comprehensive and effective parking offer for bicycles and e-scooters. Residents can mark locations where they feel a need for parking facilities but where the current offer is insufficient. They can also name locations where they regularly perceive bicycles or e-scooters as disruptive.

The increasing number of bicycles and e-scooters in the district necessitates a solution to address insufficient parking facilities. The bicycle parking concept for Harburg is designed to benefit both residents and visitors, aiming to improve the cycling infrastructure and promote cycling and pedestrian traffic.

In addition to addressing parking issues, the concept also aims to organise the parking of e-scooters in public spaces to avoid barriers for other road users. This is crucial for ensuring the safety and convenience of all users in the district.

While there is no specific publicly available information regarding a proposal for a public bicycle and e-wheelchair parking garage in Harburg, the suggestions gathered through the online participation will be evaluated and included in the creation of the district's bicycle parking concept.

Hamburg aims to create 60 kilometres of cycle paths or bike routes per year, demonstrating the city's commitment to sustainable and active mobility. The bicycle parking concept for Harburg is an important part of this mobility transition, contributing to a more bicycle-friendly city.

The "Bicycle Parking Harburg" platform is part of this larger initiative, working towards a future where cycling and pedestrian traffic are prioritised and facilitated in the district. So, if you're a resident of Harburg, make sure to share your thoughts and contribute to the creation of a better cycling city.
