Green light for the Thömus Bikepark

The people of Köniz have voted in favor of the Thömus Veloshop bike park. The development order makes it possible to convert an area previously used for agriculture for the construction and operation of the public bike park.

The "Oberried Bike Park" proposal was approved at the ballot box with 8,958 votes in favor and 5,817 against. The development regulations will enable the construction of a bike park and secure "Thömus Veloshop" under planning law, writes the municipality of Köniz.

The bike park, which consists of various slopes, will be open to the public and will be used for training and test rides. Traffic to Oberried and the number of events will be limited by the current plans, the municipality adds.

The park had been planned for a long time and the creators were faced with several objections. The original project scope had to be redimensioned: Three test and teaching tracks can be built, the downhill slope and a lift have to be dispensed with. Thomas Binggeli explains that detailed planning is now beginning and that the arguments put forward by the opponents will be taken into account as far as possible.

Construction is set to begin in 2015.
