Overview

• The Freising Planning Committee voted 8–6 to reject a proposal for a large pedestrian zone and reaffirm the 2014 concept of a small car-free area between Schiedereck and Amtsgerichtsgasse with traffic-calmed streets elsewhere
• City buses will be rerouted around the existing pedestrian zone following enforcement of signage limits that permit only three exception signs
• Redesign efforts have driven a 90 percent reduction in motorized traffic in the city center since 2014, boosting daily pedestrian and cycling counts
• Authorities have recorded 39 cyclist collisions with obstacles and frequent falls, prompting calls for better obstacle marking and expanded bicycle parking
• Freising für alle has launched a petition drive to secure the required signatures for a citizen referendum seeking a citywide expansion of the pedestrian zone
