# Vienna to Redesign 2er-Linie with More Greenery

November 12, 2026 at 10:22 AM

> Vienna plans to reduce car lanes and expand cycling paths and green spaces along a 1.5-kilometer stretch of the 2er-Linie thoroughfare.

Vienna is redesigning a 1.5-kilometer stretch of the 2er-Linie between Universitätsstraße and Mariahilfer Straße during subway construction. City Councilor Ulli Sima and NEOS chair Selma Arapovic announced the plan to expand space for cycling and greenery.

Car lanes will be reduced to a maximum of three per direction to allow for 2.90-meter cycling paths. While former U2 tunnels limit tree planting in some areas, high shrubs and climate-resilient plants will be used to increase green space across the route.

The project targets the 8th district, which currently has the city's lowest green space proportion. Redesigns for the Museumsquartier and City Hall forecourts will be decided via competition, though total project costs have not yet been fully itemized.
