Urgent request of the ÖVP to the mayor
Vienna (OTS / RK) – GR Karl Baron (HC) called Chancellor Kurz a “fear maker” who was “to blame for the crisis” with his politics. On the other hand, it put the “acting head of the Viennese city councilor Peter Hacker, who” did not contact the ÖVP “when the question of advancing the curfew was raised. In contrast to Austria, Sweden” did all good ”,“ there is no curfew, nightclubs are open, there was no ‘closure’ in retail. ”However, the Scandinavian country did not protect nursing homes well. 80 percent of deaths from Corona were cases of nursing care, for Baron an indication of excessive measures that are now being discussed: “They were not visitors to discos, they did not go to bars or they were infected in the store!” His group did not respond to the request of the ÖVP.Ok.
Zoning in the 21st district of the Leopoldau cadastral community
GR Wolfgang Irschik (FPÖ) spoke out in favor of changing the zoning, the area must remain an industrial zone: “It is about jobs, we must not be against it.” Asked for a traffic concept for the development of industrial areas, showed but otherwise satisfied with the project: “The area can only be better.”
GR Michael Niegl (FPÖ) said that projects in the city should not only take into account the interests of real estate developers and urban development, the concerns and interests of neighbors should also flow into planning, but that is rarely the case in Vienna. The city needs more sensitivity. Niegl spoke about the “chaos renovation” of the municipal building on Jedleseer Straße. Here, tenants have installed elevators directly in front of the windows; As a result, the quality of life in community housing is clearly affected. Niegl showed photos of the elevator shafts built later in front of the kitchen windows of the community apartments: “It’s strange that something like this is planned, that it is actually implemented, it leaves me speechless.” Also, the tenants of the premises would have to. For several years, living with dust and dirt due to the construction site for the renovation of the plinth. He filed an application demanding that affected tenants be offered a rent reduction.
Zoning in district 22 of the cadastral community of Kagran
GRin DI Elisabeth Olischar, BSc (ÖVP) said that Donaustadt is a fast-growing district where a lot is being built and a lot is planned. Many urban development areas and larger projects are poorly planned, “a lot happens, a lot is built; people often forget about the environment and infrastructure,” Olischar criticized. Planning tools and a vision of the big picture would be lacking. She submitted an application for a district development plan for the city of the Danube. She also called for such a district development plan for the Favoriten area in Oberlaa. Also in this case, planning is carried out “without the necessary precautions”, without taking care to maintain the character of the southern Favoriten village. She also applied for this.
Eng. GR Udo Guggenbichler, MSc (FPÖ) criticized the Councilor for the Environment, Ulli Sima: He wanted to take away from the Daubelfischern fishermen in Vienna their properties, land on the Danube and fishermen’s huts that they have been using for more than 100 years, Guggenbichler said. Although the lawsuits were unsuccessful in the first instance, the city councilor continues with the lawsuits, “with tax money from the Viennese,” Guggenbichler said. He made a motion for the councilor to sit at the negotiating table with Daubelfischern and withdraw the evictions.
Increased promotion of cargo and transport bikes
GRin Sabine Schwarz (ÖVP) announced that she would not agree to the funding; the “sprinkler principle” is not convenient, rather a “union traffic concept” is needed. Leopoldstadt would show that residents have not been involved in transportation projects so far. In the implementation of the emerging bike lane in Praterstrasse, the Green District Leader did not even involve the other parliamentary groups. Now, in the course of the electoral campaign, a redesign of the street with an avenue of trees and foggy showers had been presented, although the project was not funded. She filed a motion in which the local council came out against reducing the number of lanes for individual traffic on Praterstrasse, because this would lead to traffic being pushed into the side streets. The redesign of “Am Tabor” in Leopoldstadt is also an example of poor planning: 630,000 euros would be spent on 400 meters of cycle lanes and cars would now have to circulate on the 5-Bim track. Schwarz made another motion calling for the conversion process to be halted and for the overall bicycle traffic facility to be re-planned.
GR Mag. Rüdiger Maresch (GREEN) replied to the previous speaker: Traffic studies would show that a reduction in traffic is possible on Praterstrasse. A good solution had been found in Tabor with the “protected bike lane”, a construction that is also internationally recognized. He is proud of the cargo bike funding and the first round of funding has already been well received. “There are more and more cargo bikes, many people are not taking their children to school by car but by cargo bike,” Maresch said. He also used his request to speak in his farewell speech to the local council – Maresch is not running for the next election – and evaluated ten years as a member of a government parliamentary group: from the 365-euro annual ticket to Mariahilfer Strasse Neu, a lot it has happened in transportation policy; During his time on the local council, he would have had the opportunity to meet interesting people, both in the ranks of the opposition and among the coalition partners. He appreciated the cooperation and exchange.
GR Georg Fürnkranz (FPÖ) said it was not the first cargo bike debate to read the FPÖ positions in old protocols and that it has not changed. However, he repeated his point of view: “It must be said in this match that the Greens have adjusted to the Reds in wasting tax money and that is unbearable for us.” , only for the green clientele, and with the difference that the local economy does not benefit because cargo bikes are not built in Vienna ”. The funding is ideological and symbolic, like other measures of the transport department: “Pop-Up-Pool, Pop-Up-Radweg, Coole Straßen … all zero-use actions, which devour a lot of tax money and the biggest part for public relations, “criticized Fürnkranz. More than half of the “fresh streets” money was spent on public relations. The mobility agency is always well endowed, but it also spends more money on public relations measures than on cycling improvements. He also criticized the mobility fund, which finances mobility infrastructure projects in new construction districts. Builders would be invited to contribute, that’s “suspiciously close to corruption or extortion,” so Fürnkranz. He wanted the city audit office to audit the fund. Cycling safety is important, Fürnkranz emphasized; Cargo bikes are big, heavy, bulky, and have different demands on infrastructure and people than regular bikes. Submitted an application for a bicycle safety package, which, among other things, stipulates that commercial-use cargo bikes must be labeled and take adequate precautions to ensure that they do not cause problems in bike lanes, in pedestrian areas, streets of one way or sidewalks. In another request, Fürnkranz demanded that the mobility agency promote cycling safety “and not just any comfort problem.” (Cont.) Ato
