City of Salzburg – Maxglan celebrates “car-free” on Saturday
On Saturday, September 10th, after a two-year break, it’s that time again: the Maxglaner Hauptstraße is car-free. The Maxglaner economy and the city of Salzburg invite all Salzburg residents to enjoy this special spatial experience. Because on this day, the Maxglaner Hauptstraße belongs to pedestrians, cyclists and all those who are otherwise mobile. Stands along the street provide information about “mobile differently”, international chefs offer their delicacies and attract business people from Maxglan with unbeatable bargains. The gymnastics club Maxglan celebrates its 120th anniversary today and entertains with sporting performances. So also the “Salzburg Ducks”, the American Football Club Maxglan. And almost the most important thing, the little ones won’t get bored with the colorful children’s program either.
How will we move around the city in the future?
Bike Cycling strategy 25+, master plan walking, rethinking everyday mobility around living: projects of the city of Salzburg with the aim of making the city greener, more energy-efficient, more technologically advanced and more social.
Instead of having one’s own car, a mix of walking, cycling, public transport and rental vehicles for residential buildings should be used. Some things have already been implemented: The digital bike map helps with route planning and offers additional services. Pedestrian interior areas are redesigned or redesigned. Pedestrian guidance systems show the “weakest” road users the shortest and safest connections.
And each individual can start immediately with their personal “mobility turnaround”. Short distances can easily be covered on foot, by bicycle or by bus. That’s healthy, it’s good for the environment and makes the city more livable!
