Here you will find questions and answers about the project that many Bonn residents are asking. As the project progresses, new questions and answers will be added.
What does the Bönnsche Viertel project aim to achieve?
The Bönnsche Viertel are an offer by the city of Bonn to shape the mobility transition together with the people in the residential areas. By redesigning the stationary and moving traffic, the spaces freed up in the neighborhoods are to be upgraded. In this way, the city can become more climate-friendly and more liveable for everyone in Bonn.
Will the cars in the neighborhoods now be abolished?
No, a blanket ban on cars is not planned. The mobility concepts for the Bönn districts are to build on measures that have already been decided and planned, such as the parking strategy or the Inner City Master Plan. The aim is to gradually relieve people in the neighborhoods of through traffic and parking pressure, to strengthen alternative forms of mobility and to create new opportunities for encounters and social participation with the space gained.
How can local initiatives get involved? Or is this just a program of the city administration?
No, quite the opposite: Bönnsche Viertel thrives on people and their ideas. The participation of as many initiatives, groups and individuals as possible is expressly encouraged, both at the kick-off festival on April 1, 2023 and at the Bönnsche Viertel Days in May and June.
At the same time, the participatory process will serve as an opportunity to discuss the administration's plans (for example, the parking concept). Every opinion should be heard.
How can I get involved in the participation process?
As an initiative: Offer (hands-on) activities on the topic of the mobility transition at the Bönnsche Viertel events!
What specific offers and campaigns are there in my neighborhood?
You can find out about all planned offers and events on the Bönnsche Viertel - Veranstaltungen website, in city newsletters (for example via the district newsletters for Beuel and Bonn) and via the city of Bonn's social media channels.
Will the participation process be extended to other Bonn neighborhoods?
Yes, measures that prove to be useful and feasible in the two model districts are to be adapted and transferred to other districts in the city in the medium term. The "Bönnsche Viertel - liveable spaces for people" project also serves as an inspiration and aims to invite and motivate people to try out alternative forms of mobility, no matter where they live.
What scope is there for actually implementing new and creative ideas?
New concepts are to be developed for both model districts, which must ultimately be politically approved.
The results of the participatory process form the basis for the new concepts and will be subdivided: Some aspects cannot be changed (such as the housing stock) or can only be changed under certain conditions (for example, the rededication of streets). Other aspects are feasible with less effort (such as temporary road closures for street festivals).
A mobility concept is still in the works. In principle, all ideas are welcome and will be examined by the administration. The aim is to test initial ideas in the Bönn districts. Of course, every change must be checked for compliance with administrative regulations, such as road traffic regulations.
What happens to the ideas from the participation process?
How much becomes visible on site quickly depends on the ideas and commitment of the citizens and the legal requirements.
All input from the participation process is recorded, collected, structured and checked for feasibility. They are incorporated into the concepts for the two model districts.
Some of the suggestions for the days of the Bönnsche Viertel can certainly be implemented directly. How much will quickly become visible on site depends on the ideas and commitment of the citizens and the legal requirements.
Who are the actors responsible for the project?
At the City of Bonn, the "Citizen Participation Office" coordinates the participation process.
What is the timetable for the participation process?
April 1, 2023: Kick-off festival in front of and inside Bonn Opera House
April 1 - April 14, 2023, April 24 - May 13, 2023, May 15 - June 17, 2023: Online dialog at www.bonn-macht-mit.de
May 13, 2023: Bönnsche Viertel Day in the Combahn district
June 17, 2023: Bönnsche Viertel Day in the Inner Nordstadt district
May to September 2023: Bönnsche Sommer with activities in the neighborhoods
The "Bönnsche Sommer" ends in September 2023 with events as part of the European Mobility Week. But the "Bönnsche Viertel - liveable spaces for people" project is by no means over. The "Bönnsche Viertel" is intended to be an ongoing and dynamic process in which a wide variety of campaigns and ideas for sustainable mobility in Bonn can potentially be established and implemented in the long term.
