Traffic in Zorneding: trucks should stay outside – Ebersberg

In the end there were so many signatures that the organizers of the citizens’ initiative even needed two trucks to transport the stacks of paper to Zorneding’s town hall. The two colorful toy vehicles were of course more of a symbolic nature and have little to do with the actual articulated lorries that Sonja Werner and her team from the “Flott wasser” alliance are concerned with. The real trucks, on the other hand, should, according to the initiative, be banned from the area and instead drive past Zorneding on the main road. “After all, that’s what it was planned for back then,” says Sonja Werner, who, together with her husband Jochen, has been looking for supporters for their cause in recent weeks.

A total of 625 citizens, most of them from the municipality, have now signed the initiative. Werner and comrade-in-arms Alfred Scheffelmann have now handed over the collected documents to Mayor Piet Mayr (CSU), as well as to the representatives of the Rosenheim road construction office, the police and the district office. “The B304 should become more attractive and the through-town less attractive,” says Sonja Werner about the concern that she had initially initiated with some neighbors from Münchner Strasse, Bucher Strasse and Wasserburger Strasse. The Zorneding native is almost a bit surprised by the response to the initiative. “At first we weren’t sure if we were the only ones bothered by it,” says Werner. In the meantime, however, it is clear that through traffic gets on the nerves of many local residents.

Truck drivers like to take the shortcut through the town centre

The background is that the truck drivers like to take the shorter route through the town center instead of driving around on the bypass opened in 2007. This is not only dangerous, but also represents an enormous noise pollution for the residents, argues the citizens’ initiative. She knows of cases where people have moved away from Münchner Strasse because the roar of traffic has become unbearable over time, says Werner.

It’s a problem that Mayor Piet Mayr knows of course. However, according to the head of the town hall, the community’s hands are simply tied in some areas. So there are currently efforts to introduce Tempo 30 in the entire local area, but whether this can also be legally implemented is not the responsibility of his authority. A traffic concept that has been in the works for some time is intended to remedy the situation. This Saturday, the municipality is therefore inviting all citizens to a joint workshop in the Zornedinger Martinstadl, where from 10 a.m. further ideas are to be collected on how local traffic could be steered in a controlled manner. According to Mayr, the final concept should then be decided by the municipal council at the beginning of next year – and hopefully provide the long-awaited relief for local residents.
