Lerchenfelder Straße: Vienna plans great redesign for better quality of stay!

Josefstadt, Österreich - The Lerchenfelder Straße in Vienna will be subjected to comprehensive renewal in the coming years, as meinbezirk.at . At an information event in the Neubauer district office, district heads Markus Reiter (new building) and Martin Fabisch (Josefstadt) explained the next steps to redesign together with representatives of Wiener Linien, Vienna Energie and the renovation advice "Freoll". The event focused on the renovation of the tram tracks, which is to be carried out from March to July 2026. Details for the exact process will be published in autumn 2025.

The plans not only provide for the renovation of the tracks, but also improvements in the infrastructure and thus a higher quality of stay on Lerchenfelder Strasse. More green areas and better accessibility are also considered. These approaches are particularly valuable, since the street is currently considered to be less attractive and suffered significantly on hot days due to the lack of shading and seating, as well as wien.gv.at Notes.

dialogue with the population

of great importance is the dialogue process that the districts of Neubau and Josefstadt lead with residents and business people. Regular meetings and surveys have taken place since the project started in February 2022. A total of 468 people took part in the survey, including 369 on the street and 130 online. The results of this survey underlined the need for more greening and an improved wheel infrastructure as well as additional seating. The traffic calming and a speed limit are also important concerns of the residents.

The future of Lerchenfelder Straße

The redesign of Lerchenfelder Straße will extend over several construction phases and take a lot of time. The focus is on making the street future fit. The focus is on entertainment and security for all road users. However, the concerns of the business inhaling were also addressed, in particular with regard to possible loss of parking space, which the district heads recognized, but could not present any specific solutions for the time being.

The future Lerchenfelder Straße should not only be designed functionally, but above all inviting. The integration of more green areas, traffic calming and the support of the switch to renewable energies are steps to a more livable environment that has grown to the challenges of climate change. The next steps, such as the above -mentioned renovation work and the technical planning, will be crucial for development towards a modern, climate -adapted urban area.
