Every morning shortly before school starts, many pupils are taken to their school on the street "Zu den Drei Linden" by parent cab. The school buildings "Gymnasium Bäumlihof", "Sekundarschule Drei Linden", "Sekundarschule Bäumlihof", "Primarstufe Hirzbrunnen" and the kindergarten "Hirzbrunnenschulhaus" are located on this street.
As many more pupils come to school by bike or on foot due to the location and cycle/walk along the "Zu den drei Linden" road, it is important that they also arrive safely at their destination.
The road "Zu den drei Linden" is very narrow along its entire length and is further narrowed by sections with bicycle and car parking spaces. This often leads to very dangerous traffic situations for cyclists when countless bicycles, cars and lorries come towards each other before school starts, or when the flow of traffic is further impeded by the wild parking of parent cabs.
We demand increased safety for hundreds of people:
The road "Zu den drei Linden" from the junction "Bäumlihofstrasse" to the junction "Olsbergerstrasse" is to be converted into a school road (based on the model of the Swiss Traffic Club).
For this purpose, the section of the road "Zu den drei Linden" from the "Bäumlihofstrasse" junction to the "Olsbergerstrasse" junction is to be closed to cars, trucks and motorcycles.
To ensure that suppliers to the schools/kindergarten and the Bäumlihof training centre (Zu den Drei Linden 95) are exempt from this closure, the words "Except feeder service to Zu den Drei Linden 95", "Permitted with written exemption" and the note "Freight handling permitted" should be added to the section of road from the "Bäumlihofstrasse" junction to the "Olsbergerstrasse" junction.
