Green instead of grey, togetherness instead of coexistence: If you want to green your street or make space for the neighborhood, you'll find the right ideas here.
In Bonn, many people are already working to make their streets a little more liveable with more greenery. Green sponsorship has almost become a classic: many people are certainly familiar with the colorful, fenced-in beds around street trees, which are maintained on a voluntary basis by the neighborhood. Green sponsorship is just one, but certainly one of the easiest ways to make your street a little more colorful. Space for the neighborhood can also be created in Bonn's often narrow streets, for example with a self-built bench.
Do you want more greenery in your street? This is possible on the sidewalk right outside your front door - if the conditions are right. If the sidewalk is wide enough, flower pots or raised beds, for example, can make the street a little more colorful.
If you want to use the space on the sidewalk in front of your own front door, you need a special use permit from the city of Bonn. This is because sidewalks must be safe and easy to use for everyone. There is only room for greenery in front of the front door if at least 2.50 meters of sidewalk remain even with the plants. Otherwise, the city cannot permit special use. Road safety is just as important, especially for people with visual impairments: flower pots must not be placed in the footpath and thorny plants such as roses should not be planted.
The special use permit for placing greenery in front of the front door can be applied for here. Do you have an idea for greening the area in front of your front door, but are not yet sure whether or how it can be implemented? Please contact us here: strassenideenbonnde
Neighborhood bank for the neighborhood
Is there plenty of space in your street, but none to sit on? You can simply set up a bench for the neighborhood yourself. Whether you want to relax or sit together on the street on a warm summer evening. From the classic street bench to the garden bench to the self-made pallet bench, there are many options. The best way to set up a neighborhood bench is as a team: build, set up and use it together.
Do you already have a place in mind for your neighborhood bench? You can set up the bench in open spaces at the side of the road, but parking spaces can also be temporarily converted into a bench, for example in summer. Important: To set up such a bench, you need a special use permit from the city of Bonn. This is because you must ensure road safety, for example that no one can injure themselves on the bench. In addition, the bench can only be set up where there is sufficient space. If the bench is to be placed on the sidewalk, at least 2.50 meters must remain free with the bench.
The conditions are right and you would like to install a neighborhood bench? Then you can apply for a special use permit here. Do you have an idea for a neighborhood bench, but are not yet sure whether or how it can be implemented? Please contact us here: strassenideenbonnde
