Investment measures
The guideline on the promotion of innovative projects for the improvement of cycling in Germany in its applicable version provides supports the planning of innovative and trendsetting construction and civil engineering measures and the implementation of those measures. That also includes such issues as bicycle bridges and/or intersection configurations that are appropriate for cycling. The trendsetting investment projects are meant to be role models as “beacons of cycling” and thus to increase the attractiveness of cycling in Germany. One example is the construction of a twin-tower bike parking structure with 180 modern bicycle parking lots in Osnabrück, which is supported with an investment of about two million Euros.
