How nice it was! The action days from 24 to 28 August 2022 were one of the most important milestones of this year for the Reallabor Radbahn, because our meetings and discussions with you, the citizens, interested people, residents, and tradespeople could take place for the first time where the Radbahn is to be implemented in the future. Together we were able to experience in a very practical way the possibilities and also the challenges that this so far inconspicuous public space has to offer.

With simple means, we showed that the areas to the left and right of the path offer space to create additional offers such as bicycle parking spaces, bicycle repair stations, seating furniture and culinary offers, a dry toilet, and information areas. And we were able to implement exemplary first structural measures with the de-silvering of two parking spaces and their planting, which impressively shows how much more pleasant it can be to stay and pass by when greenery instead of sheet metal lines the way.

Until April 4, 2022, our first citizen participation format is online with a collection of ideas on mein.berlin. With this, we would like to capture suggestions and hints for the use or design of the open spaces on both sides along the cycle path under the viaduct between Görlitzer Bahnhof and Kottbusser Tor. These should provide important insights into needs and wishes from the citizens' point of view for our planned test site and be incorporated into the open space planning in the further process. While the interface is in German, you can submit your ideas in English, too.

Informing and involving citizens is one of the main pillars of our work. We have summarised our ideas and scope for action as well as our aspirations and understanding of participation in our "Guidelines for Participation".
