Leopoldauer Straße: New Bike Paths and More Greenery for Vienna-Floridsdorf
Additionally, a total of 17 new trees will be planted to provide shade and cooling in the future.
On both sides of Leopoldauer Straße between Angerer Straße and Katsushikastraße, structural one-way bike paths approximately 1.90 meters wide will be created over a length of about 650 meters. Sidewalk extensions and road elevations at the cross streets intersecting Leopoldauer Straße will ensure greater traffic safety in the future. From autumn 2025, 17 new trees with underplanting and automatic irrigation will provide shade throughout the project area.
Traffic Measures in Vienna-Floridsdorf
In the first construction phase - from May 13 to approximately August 4, 2025 - passage on Leopoldauer Straße between Angerer Straße and Pilzgasse will not be possible.

Vienna's Major Cycling Path Initiative
The major Vienna cycling path initiative continues at full speed. By the end of the legislative period, the progressive coalition has implemented or initiated over 250 projects and nearly 100 km in the main cycling network, and has already invested around 130 million euros in the expansion of Vienna's cycling infrastructure. More than 50 km of cycling infrastructure have also been implemented in the district network. The intensive efforts are paying off: The number of cyclists is steadily increasing. The share of journeys made by bike rose to 11% in 2024 (in 2019 it was 7%), as shown by the 2024 modal split survey.
