Aeschenvorstadt, Kasernenstrasse and many other alleys in the center of Basel will be remodeled by 2029 as part of the city center design concept. The Basel government is asking the Grand Council for a framework expenditure approval of 25 million francs.
At the same time as the upcoming road renovations, which the canton is planning with Industrielle Werken Basel (IWB) and Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe (BVB), the streets and alleys will be more pedestrian-friendly and given a typical Basel identity, as the Basel government announced on Tuesday.
Aeschenvorstadt, Kasernenstrasse and numerous alleys such as Hut-, Sattel- and Glockengasse, Luftgässlein or Säger-, Ochsen-, Weber- and Bäumleingasse will be redesigned from 2021 to 2029 according to the city center design concept guidelines.
More Alpnach quartz stone
In addition, the Basel government has approved 9.6 million francs for the renovation of Clarastrasse. As part of the planned road renovation in 2023, this will receive sidewalks made from Alpnach quartz sandstone and three additional trees. In addition, the so-called surge lighting by the IWB and new benches are planned to replace the elimination of street lamps.
Additionally, the “Clarastrasse” tram stop will have higher road edges in addition to bus shelters so that passengers can get on and off the tram without steps. A bicycle-friendly platform will also be used at the tram stop and the number of bicycle parking spaces will increase from 120 to 190, the statement continues.
