Cycling enthusiasts are proliferating within the Community.
The city of Giessen has announced an action aimed at removing non-operational and ownerless bicycles from various public locations. This initiative is designed to improve pedestrian flow and reduce obstacles for other traffic participants.
Starting from the 43rd calendar week (20.10.), the Giessen City Police will begin removing old, abandoned bicycles from the train station, Neuwieder Gate, Berlin Square, and surrounding areas. These "junk bikes" have been frequently found blocking the bike parking facilities provided by the train and the city of Giessen, forcing cyclists to park elsewhere.
Cyclists are asked to pay attention to the corresponding signs and use designated parking areas for their bikes. Broken and abandoned bicycles have been a common sight on bike racks, pedestrian bridges, facilities at the Lahnstraße parking garage, as well as around the Neuwieder Gate and town hall plaza.
The responsibility for removing old and abandoned bicycles in Gießen, especially near the train station, Neuwieder Tor, and Berlinplatz, typically lies with the local municipal authorities or the city administration of Gießen. However, as part of this action, various pedestrian zones are also being checked.
Proof of ownership is necessary to retrieve bicycles from the city storage. This can be in the form of a photo, bike passport, purchase receipt, frame number, or any other suitable documentation. Appointments to retrieve bicycles can be made with the city police by telephone: 0641 306-1932.
Bicycles affected by this action are being marked. The storage location for retrieved bicycles is the Stadtreinigung- und Fuhramt, Schlachthofstraße 40, 35398 Giessen. Bicycles can be retrieved without claim to damages within the two-month storage period at this location.
The current action is taking place in the area of the train station plaza, the parking facilities around the train station, the area around the Neuwieder Gate, and the Berlin Square. It is important to note that this action does not apply to operational and owned bicycles.
This initiative is part of Giessen's ongoing efforts to keep public areas clean and accessible for all users. The city encourages cyclists to be responsible and use designated parking areas to ensure the smooth flow of traffic and pedestrian movement.
