Planned footpath at property boundary

Hello,

here in BW the development area is being expanded and according to the extension of the development plan, a footpath is supposed to run along our property. Currently, this is an unpaved field path. We have not yet installed any curbstones along this field path. The development of this extension is to take place soon, perhaps it will even begin this year. I am currently wondering whether we should now install curbstones (low curbs) at our boundary or wait until the footpath is constructed by the municipality? I couldn't find any information anywhere about the construction sequence in such cases, but I think this is simply decided on site. So if we install curbstones, they will just pave up to them. If curbstones are missing, they will put some in place. Right?

It concerns about 25m. The field path would be on our left side and thus actually in the area of responsibility of the neighbor (if everyone only develops their right property side). Designated as §9 Abs. 1 Nr11 Building Code purpose pedestrian.

I have not yet spoken with the building authority.

I would talk to someone who has a say in the matter soon. I would only do the work with the curbstones if the field path becomes an unpaved fair-weather footpath. Otherwise, the community will likely have a border installed.

That reminds me of our former townhouse (built in 2000)… Behind our (slightly sloping) property, a footpath was laid (still during the construction phase) and to our greatest surprise, the general contractor placed L-shaped stones (height between 60…100 cm) over the entire width of the townhouses as a boundary. We were very pleased. This allowed us to create a nice, level garden area.. So I would wait and see.. asking certainly doesn't hurt.. ;)

I don't believe that asking helps or costs nothing. The fact is that the general contractor or the city has made a plan and a calculation.

If they are already planning curbstones or L-stones like in the last post... great. By asking, you could at most make them think, "Wait a minute... if the property owner is already asking. Could that possibly be their responsibility? Werner! Take a look at the development plan, we're already over budget anyway. Maybe we can save something by passing that on to them?"

The other way around. If it is not planned and they want to impose it on you anyway. Then asking will hardly change anything.
