new bicycle road in Ilsestrasse

The Ilsestrasse in the Neukölln district will be converted into a bicycle road from August 2024. This is part of the Körnerkiez traffic concept, which is implemented by the Neukölln district office.

conversion of the road for cycling

Ilsestrasse is redesigned between Emser Strasse and Thomassstraße to the bicycle road. In doing so, opposing one -way streets are set up, the cars are denied the passage in the neighborhood. For cyclists, the one -way streets are accessible in both directions. Crossing options for pedestrians are created at the intersections, while loading zones for delivery traffic are created. All houses remain accessible by car.

advantages for cycling

Jochen Biedermann, district councilor for urban development, environment and transport, emphasizes the importance of the measure for cycling in Neukölln. The conversion to the bicycle road makes Ilsestrasse more attractive and safer for cyclists. In addition, through traffic in the neighborhood is to be reduced.

Citizen participation and decision of the concept

The Körnerkiez traffic concept was developed with the participation of many citizens and finalized on May 21, 2024. The Neukölln district office thus responded to a residents' application from the Neukölln district council (BVV). The modal filters provided for in the concept are to be implemented at a later date.
