Bad Homburg is withdrawing from the planned Vordertaunus Radschnellweg FRM5 project due to cost and space constraints. The city's proposal stipulates that cyclists will use existing bike paths for the core urban section, rather than a dedicated rapid cycle path. This decision has been met with criticism, particularly from cycling advocacy groups.

Key points

  • The planned FRM5 rapid cycle path aims to connect Friedrichsdorf, Bad Homburg, Oberursel, and Steinbach, extending toward Frankfurt-Bockenheim.
  • Bad Homburg's new proposal excludes the city center from the project, citing cost and space limitations.
  • Instead of a dedicated rapid cycle path, cyclists will be directed to use existing bike networks within the city limits.
  • The withdrawal is expected to result in reduced costs by eliminating planned structural modifications and engineering works (like bridges).
  • Cycling groups criticized the decision during a committee meeting, viewing it as an abandonment of the fast cycling concept.
