Directive Proposed by Commission on Aligning National Laws for Safeguarding Workers from Radiation Exposure Risks
In the heart of Wiesbaden, the city's Mitte district is undergoing a significant transformation with the redesign of Nerostraße. This project, driven by the commitment of local residents and authorities, aims to create a more livable and enjoyable urban environment.
According to Dr. Guido Haas, the local representative of the Wiesbaden Mitte district council, the project is characterized by participation and cohesion. The redesign plan, which can be found on the Press Office of the state capital Wiesbaden's website, includes several key elements focusing on greenery, city furniture, traffic regulations, parking, and funding.
Greenery
The plan aims to increase the amount of greenery along Nerostraße by adding new trees and plantings. This enhancement is intended to improve the street’s aesthetic appeal and provide shade, contributing to a more pleasant urban environment. More greenery is being introduced to improve air quality and reduce temperatures as part of climate crisis adaptation.
City Furniture
New city furniture will be installed, such as benches, waste bins, and possibly bike racks. These additions are designed to improve the usability and comfort for pedestrians and local residents.
One-way Street Regulations
Nerostraße will be maintained as a one-way street. The redesign includes clarifying and possibly improving traffic flow and safety under this one-way regulation to reduce congestion and accidents. A 20 mph zone has been established to slow down traffic and create more space for pedestrians, especially those with mobility impairments or strollers.
Parking
The plan involves reorganizing parking spaces along the street. This could mean optimizing existing parking layouts or introducing new parking solutions to better accommodate residents' and visitors’ needs without overcrowding.
Funding Sources
The funding for the redesign is expected to come from a mix of municipal budgets and possibly state or regional grants earmarked for urban development and street improvement projects. The specific breakdown of funding sources involves collaboration between Wiesbaden city authorities and other relevant stakeholders.
The redesign of Nerostraße is being carried out by the Tiefbauamt of the state capital Wiesbaden. The Orangerie Wiesbaden team is responsible for the initial planting, while the "Friends of a livable Nerostraße" initiative will handle maintenance.
The new city furniture, including twelve large wooden plant pots, has been manufactured by a craft business from Wiesbaden. These plant pots are being used along Nerostraße and Jawlenskystraße to accommodate trees.
The official opening of the redesigned Nerostraße is planned for late August. The redesign aims to set a precedent for other inner-city neighborhoods prioritizing quality of life and participation.
Citizens can contact the responsible department, office, or the town hall's switchboard with any questions regarding the Nerostraße redesign. The Press Office of the state capital Wiesbaden is the publisher of this press release.
Mayor Christiane Hinninger announces the implementation of a city council-approved process initiated in April 2025. The redesign of Nerostraße is expected to result in approximately 37 fewer parking spaces, but the one-way street regulation remains in place, with parking being reorganized for better clarity and safety.
Thomas Schachler from the initiative "Livable Nerostraße" explains that the redesign provides more space, promotes quality of stay, safety, climate adaptation, and social participation. The residents not only brought in ideas but also take care of the maintenance of the greenery in the long term.
The residents' commitment is a driving force of this project, as emphasized by Dr. Guido Haas. The redesign of Nerostraße aims to create a space that encourages people to spend time. This press release can be found on the website of the Press Office of the state capital Wiesbaden.
