Petitions for Viennese schools: Citizens are demanding more security and calm!

Wien, Österreich - In the Vienna City Hall, the municipal council committee for petitions met today and brought three burning concerns for discussion. Peter Pelz presented a petition that stems against the planned high route of the connecting railway in Hietzing. According to Pelz, the new route, which is supposed to run at a height of four meters, will have significant effects on school routes and public transport connections. Cyclists in particular have to accept considerable detours, since no crossings are provided under the high route. Instead, the petition calls for a redesign of the area in favor of cultural and social projects for nearby schools. For example, an idea competition should help use these areas sensibly, while the construction of a police station from Preindlgasse to the new S-Bahn station is required, as is already the case in the report by Wien Presse was.

Magdalena Axmann brought another petition that deals with the high noise pollution from heavy traffic on Schönbrunner Straße in Meidling. It calls for a cycling measurement and a reduction of the speed limit to 30 km/h in order to increase the safety of residents and reduce the noise. Franziska Freinberger also expressed similar concerns, who mainly pointed out the health consequences of street noise for residents on the belt. She suggests introducing a speed limit of 30 kilometers per hour between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. to give residents a relaxing night. Your reasoning is underlined by the Bundestag Petition page , which describes the interface between citizens and parliament and thus illuminates the importance of the concerns.

The next meeting of the Petitions Committee takes place on March 3 and deals with the topics "Stop of forest destruction on the upper Mühlwasser" and "Tempo 30 on Niederhofstrasse". At this interface between political decisions and citizens' concerns, the Viennese may make their voice loud. With 500 supporters, their concerns can be checked by the committee.
