It's been a long wait, but the Isar riverbank pub, Menterschwaige, is back in action! Yet, trouble's brewing just outside its gates. Pedestrian safety concerns are hitting the headlines. Here are some proposed solutions:
Harlaching - After a journey of years, the sound of clinking mugs returns to the Isar banks. Post-renovation and a change of management, Menterschwaige is finally open for business. However, an issue has arisen, particularly towards the Isar bank and Menterschwaigstraße. Speedy cyclists could potentially collide with pedestrians.
"Bicycles along the riverbank aren't used for commuting, but for sport," stated Ferdinand Brinkmoeller (CSU) at a city meeting. The issue stems from guests who leave the beer garden oblivious to cyclists. In a motion, the CSU advocated for a warning sign to be erected on the cycling path, using zebra stripes or colored markings, to alert pedestrians of the potential hazard.

Menterschwaige's owners are aware of the problem. The marketing manager, Jana Heidtmann, confirmed that a warning sign has been installed. It reads, "Slow down! Exit to the Beer Garden." Additionally, patrons leaving the premises are also alerted with signs. An idea from the innkeepers is to set up speed bumps on the cycling path, forcing cyclists to slow down.
City officials call for lowering traffic speeds at all costs. Norbert Weigler (Greens), chairman of the mobility subcommittee, discarded the idea of a zebra crossing as legally impossible. Andreas Babor (CSU) speculates that the path might only be paintable with signal colors. Residents also propose turning the Isar riverbank into a pedestrian zone, allowing cyclists but with a focus on pedestrian safety. The mobility department suggests painting such dangerous spots in a safety color, typically red, but orange is currently being tested as an alternative.
