Berlin plans 2,000 new bicycle parking spaces at train stations by 2030!

Neukölln, Deutschland - Berlin relies on a comprehensive improvement in the bicycle infrastructure. Up to 2,000 new bicycle parking spaces at S and U-Stahn stations are to be built by the end of 2030. This measure is part of a larger plan to promote the combination of bicycle and local public transport (public transport), which is considered crucial for the mobility turn. The state-owned Infravelo GmbH is responsible for the construction of these parking spaces, which are to be realized at various locations in Lichtenberg, Treptow-Köpenick and Neukölln, such as RBB24 reported.

The new parking spaces are distributed as follows: Up to 590 are planned in Lichtenberg, up to 800 at nine stations in Treptow-Köpenick and up to 640 at 15 train stations in Neukölln. The basis of the planning is comprehensive location and potential analyzes that were carried out at almost all S- and subway stations in Berlin. These analyzes consider the current number of parking space and the number of bicycles currently parked.

determination of needs by 2030

The results of the studies show a significant need for bicycle parking spaces that was determined by 2030. In order to ensure high -quality and secure infrastructure, the new storage systems must be developed in accordance with the recommendations of the analyzes. In the analyzes, 73 out of a total of 280 stations in Berlin have already been examined, showing opportunities to double the existing parking spaces from 17,000 to 34,000. At 44 stations, a need for 100 to 500 new parking spaces is determined, while a demand between 500 and 1,000 places is expected at seven stations. In such cases, bicycle parking houses could be a suitable solution, such as Infravelo has added.

The exact planning for the number and locations of the new parking spaces will depend on the availability of the areas. This also includes collaboration with the districts and the Senate Department for the Environment, Transport and Climate Protection (SenuVK) to ensure that the needs of pedestrians, parked vehicles as well as the emergency services of the fire brigade, police and public transport are also taken into account.

planned construction projects and progress

The construction of the storage facilities in Lichtenberg, Treptow-Köpenick and Neukölln is expected to begin at the end of 2026. In addition, the construction start for up to 1,050 other bicycle parking spaces at eleven stations in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg is already planned for autumn 2025. Another expansion provides for up to 1,200 parking spaces at 18 train stations in Reinickendorf, with a construction start in the first half of 2026. These measures are part of a comprehensive progress report that regularly documents the development of bicycle infrastructure in Berlin, reports Berlin.de.

In recent years, Berlin has promoted the promotion of bicycle traffic considerably. In addition to creating new parking spaces, the expansion of the infrastructure plays a central role in the planning. The annual progress report provides information about these developments and highlights the use of funds and accident development in cycling.

summarized it can be said that the desired measures not only serve to increase the number of bicycle parking spaces, but also make an important contribution to the promotion of sustainable mobility in the capital
