The city administration has submitted a corresponding proposal to the responsible political bodies, the Committee for Mobility and Transport and the Beuel district council. The plan envisages full management of the public parking spaces, including an exception for residents with a parking permit, in order to improve the situation for residents, retail customers, tradespeople and care services when looking for a parking space. At the same time, minimum footpath widths of 1.50 meters are to be created to increase the mobility of people on foot.
Three different resident parking zones planned
The area for the parking space concept is defined by Werdstraße and Clemensstraße to the north, Niederkasseler Straße and Königswinterer Straße to the northeast, the railroad line to the east, Ringstraße to the south and the Rhine to the west. The area north of Jahnstrasse and Ringstrasse are not proposed for development for the time being. Sankt Augustiner Straße (Bundesstraße 56), the main road, divides the study area into two halves in terms of urban development. The district center along Friedrich-Breuer-Straße, with its many stores and restaurants as well as cultural offerings, borders directly to the south of this main traffic axis. In future, this area will be subject to daytime management without exception for residents, while parking will be free in the other streets with a resident parking permit. This should improve the accessibility of the shopping streets.
In future, the center of Beuel is to be divided into three different resident parking zones, in which a total of 87 parking ticket machines are to be installed. Areas are to be designated for loading zones, disabled parking spaces and car sharing, among other things, and additional bicycle parking facilities are to be installed.
By creating minimum widths for sidewalks for people on foot and lanes for emergency vehicles such as the fire department and Bonnorange, the number of existing parking spaces in the entire area will be slightly reduced. At the same time, the city assumes that the number of vehicles in public spaces will decrease significantly, as fewer commuters will park there due to the management and residents will increasingly use private spaces. In addition, the parking spaces and multi-storey parking lots in the area are not yet fully utilized and offer potential for displacement.
The implementation of the Beuel-Mitte parking space concept is planned for summer 2025. Parking space management is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2025.
