The emerging bike lanes at Praterstraße, Lassallestraße and Kagraner Brücke will run until November 1. The reason is the good use by cyclists. However, the bike path in Vienna-Alsergrund leaves.
Three of the four emerging bike lanes in Vienna will run until November 1. In particular, the temporary lanes for the wheels will be maintained on Praterstrasse and Lassallestrasse, both in Leopoldstadt, and on Wagramer Strasse / Kagraner Brücke in the Danube city, the office of Transport Councilor Birgit Hebein (Greens) announced on Wednesday. Only Hörlgasse will be dismantled as planned on Friday.
Use of the emerging cycle route has increased significantly
According to the Vienna University of Technology, there were up to 900 cyclists every hour on Prater Straße in June, with an average of around 45% of those driving outside the city using the pop-up bike lane. It was found that the use of the emerging bike lane is greater the more cyclists there are on the road. At peak hours on Lassallestrasse, more than 700 out-of-town cyclists were counted, on average between a third and a quarter of those outside the city used the pop-up bike lane. Up to 430 cyclists were on the Kagraner Brücke at rush hour, or more than 3,700 in the course of the day. The evaluation showed that the proportion of those who used the emergent bike lane has increased significantly; In the August survey, an average of 87% compared to the existing pedestrian and bike path.
The emerging bike path in Hörlgasse is not ideal
According to the broadcast, the three extended deployable bike lanes were particularly well received, and reference was made to a corresponding assessment by the Vienna University of Technology. The one in Hörlgasse am Alsergrund, however, “did not turn out to be the optimal solution for cycling.” The district was said to be working together on a long-term redesign.
