Schleifgasse in Floridsdorf: Refurbishment ensures fresh green and security!

In the heart of Floridsdorf, Schleifgasse is redesigned again after it has not passed the city's quality check. The problems discovered in the lane area are due to inadequate paving constructions. The road construction work that was completed at the end of 2022 must now be repeated at the expense of the responsible construction company. The magistrate department 28 has identified the defects, and fortunately the renovation takes place within the warranty period, as Krone reported.

Start of the work is July 8th, and a duration will be targeted until mid -September. The sections between Angerer Straße and Pitkagasse are affected. During the construction work, the Schleifgasse is closed to traffic, but the sidewalks remain usable. Despite the necessary renovation, pedestrians can continue to stroll unhindered.

redesign and environmental protection

The redesign of Schleifgasse is part of the urban diligence offensive. In the last work, 3,000 square meters of asphalt were sealed and 18 new trees planted, which significantly improves the quality of stay and the microclimate on site. A total of 450 square meters are now available for additional green areas, which should also contribute to reducing the temperatures. This initiative is part of the broader efforts of the city to reduce the area sealing and to create more natural areas again, such as wien.gv.at executed.

The new trees, including six existing ones, now have access to automatic irrigation. In addition, the bright pavement ensures that the streets can heat up less and seed away rainwater better. A bound stone, which is only three centimeters high, separates roadway from the sidewalks and parking strips, and the sidewalks were widened to create more space for passers -by.

traffic safety and citizen participation

Another progress is the installation of nine new seating groups and a drinking hydrant. Traffic safety also gets an update: sidewalking on crossing areas and a lane increase at the intersection of Schleifgasse/Weisselgasse should improve the pedestrian crossing. The redesign of the Schleifgasse was pushed forward by a broad participation of the residents: inside and traders, so that suggestions and ideas were incorporated through questionnaires and information events.

These measures not only stand for an upgraded quality of life in the city, but also contribute to a vital city nature. The promotion of natural areas is to create a healthy and more resilient living environment. As gruen-in-stadt.de , the goal of the initiative is to create natural shadow places and to promote biodiversity.

The City of Vienna invests in these measures to further improve the city climate and offer the residents: to offer a livable environment inside. It is to be hoped that the upcoming work will be carried out quickly and efficiently, so that the Floridsdorfer: Inside, soon can benefit from the improvements of Schleifgasse.
