Repair work ongoing at Leipzig's Lorenzstraße

In a decision made by the city council of Dresden, Lorenz Street in Neustadt-Neuschönefeld will undergo a significant transformation next year. The 75-meter-long street, which does not hold significant importance for traffic, according to the city, will be designated as a traffic-calmed zone and will be reserved exclusively for cyclists and pedestrians.

This change is indirectly related to the Otto-Runki-Platz project, which aims to attract more visitors in the future. The nearby square is set to be equipped with a swimming pool and a local library, and is intended to enhance safety for future visitors. The project is expected to increase foot traffic in the area, and the traffic-calmed zone on Lorenz Street may contribute to the safety of visitors in the area.

The city has announced that Lorenz Street will become a pedestrian and cyclist-only zone starting from next summer. The transformation of Lorenz Street is motivated by the nearby Otto-Runki-Platz, and the traffic-calmed zone is intended for cyclists and pedestrians only. The decision to transform Lorenz Street into a pedestrian and cyclist-only zone was made with the intention of creating a more welcoming and safe environment for residents and visitors alike.

The Otto-Runki-Platz project is expected to attract a variety of facilities, and the transformation of Lorenz Street into a pedestrian and cyclist-only zone is a step towards creating a more pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood. The summer of next year will see the implementation of the traffic-calmed zone on Lorenz Street, and the city hopes that this change will contribute to a more livable and enjoyable neighbourhood for all.
