The junction of the Frankfurter Landstraße and Kurmainzer Straße will be closed from Monday, 7th October until Thursday, 10th October, 2013 to allow for re-surfacing work to take place.
During this time traffic will be diverted through Weißkirchen along the Urselbachstraße, An der Bleiche, Oberurseler Straße and Ludwig-Erhard-Straße, so extra time should be allowed for journeys along this route.
Access to the Edeka car park will still be possible for traffic coming from Oberursel.
A 46-year-old cyclist from Dietzenbach was hurt on the Nassauer Straße on Saturday, 21st September, 2013.
She had been travelling along the Homburger Landstraße, but when she came to the Nassauer Straße she decided to ride on the pavement which is not allowed at this point.
However, as she tried to ride up the curb she fell onto the road into the path of a VW car.
The damage to the car and the bicycle is estimated to be only €200, but the cyclist was injured and taken to the hospital in Bad Homburg for further checks.
If the members of the Ausländerbeirat thought they were in for a short meeting when they met on Monday, 23rd September, 2013, then they had to think again. Lasting almost two hours, the meeting was the longest that I personally had experienced to date.
Part of the reason for this was certainly down to the questions from the public, two of which led to extensive discussions.
One question that did not was about a new playground in the town next to a building where – according to one of the town councillors who happened to be present – a lot of foreigners live. The opening times for the playground only list work days, but not Sunday. So is it closed on a Sunday or just open all day?
Not that the Ausländerbeirat could really be expected to give an answer to this, but maybe they could have passed the question on instead of referring the councillor to the social and culture sub-committee of which, ironically, he is himself a member. [Read more…]
