On Thursday, the Sierningen local council unanimously decided to submit a petition from the Upper Austria cycling lobby to change the Upper Austrian law. Road Act 1991. Sierning is the first municipality in the district to support this demand to the Upper Austrian state parliament.
“Nobody would come up with the idea of demanding that municipalities make a financial contribution to the construction, operation and maintenance of state roads,” says Elisabeth Ettinger, spokeswoman for the Sierning cycle lobby, “but that is always the case with cycle paths.”
The cycling lobby therefore proposes that the state of Upper Austria take over the part of the financing for all supra-regional and cross-community cycle paths that is not covered by funding from the EU or the federal government. Since the amendment to the Road Act in 1991, municipalities have been charged 40 percent of the costs for cycle paths prescribed as main cycle routes. Ettinger: “In view of the precarious financial situation of most communities, this share cannot be financially managed.”
