Parking situation in Euskirchen: commuters are angry with restrictions!

Parking situation in Euskirchen: commuters are angry with restrictions!

As part of the construction work for the new town hall in the City-Süd von Euskirchen, the commuter parking lot behind the train station was reduced at the beginning of the week. The city's technical services blocked part of the area for clearing work. This lock is expected to be lifted in the middle of next week, but the parking situation remains tense. Anno Schichler-Koep, Managing Director of the SVE transport company, which operates the parking lot, is faced with increasing displeasure by the commuters, who are dependent on the parking spaces in order to get to work by public transport. Due to the blocking of the Euskirchen and Nettersheim, commuters currently pay 6.60 euros for parking spaces.

The number of parking spaces available was significantly reduced by the construction of the future Euskirchen town hall. These changes not only cause resentment among users, but also for confusion. In a letter, an affected commuter said that there is a lack of adequate replacement for the omitted parking spaces. According to the current notices of the city, around 250 parking spaces remain available on two sub -areas. The access roads are available on the bird rod with around 90 parking spaces and at the lower end of Roitzheimer Straße with 160 parking spaces. However, the city transport company has announced that it is currently not issuing any new parking permissions for the City-Süd parking lot.

available parking spaces and alternatives

Although the city progresses with the construction work, the SVE assures that the available parking spaces are sufficient for the previous regular users. Users are also asked to observe the current signage. Alternatives in the form of city and regional buses are available for train travelers. Visitors to the city center can switch to three parking garages in the city center.

The situation around the parking spaces is not the only challenge with which the commuters are faced. The Spiegelstraße parking garage, another important parking lot in the city, has been faced with a significant deficit since the flood in 2021. There is no longer a functioning barrier system system, and the cashiers are currently doing their work in temporary wooden huts on entrances and trips. With the start of the construction work in the parking garage, which are scheduled from October 14th to 20th, 2024, the system is blocked during this time.

conclusion and outlook

The SVE plans to create replacement parking areas near the train station in order to compensate for the loss of the parking spaces. However, an area for replacement parking areas originally caught up was excluded for economic reasons. A final solution is still pending. Although the SVE rejects that season tickets are no longer issued, cards are currently only available for a maximum of two months and tied to a waiting list. So the situation remains tense and many commuters in Euskirchen want a better parking space situation at short notice.

For more information on the current parking facilities and soon changes, interested parties contact the SVE customer center at the Euskirchen train station, at www.sveinfo.de or by phone at 0 22 51/14 0. KStA reports that the construction work in the City-Süd could also have effects on other parking facilities. In view of the ongoing developments, it remains to be seen how the city will react to the continuing symptoms of commuters.

The SVE and the city are responsible for not losing sight of the needs of commuters and finding solutions in good time in order to enable the daily mobility of the citizens.
