Preliminary designs for Sprengenweg
On Tuesday evening, 11 March, we presented the preliminary design to around 120 interested residents and business owners. The preliminary design was well received. Questions and comments from those present are now being reviewed and, where possible, incorporated into the design. You can find the preliminary designs that were shown on this page.
