Dispute over the conversion of Bismarck and Erlangerstraße: CSU raises the alarm!

Dispute over the conversion of Bismarck and Erlangerstraße: CSU raises the alarm!

On December 18, the controversial renovation project for Bismarckstrasse and Erlangerstrasse will be discussed again in the Bayreuth City Council. The building committee had already approved the plans on December 10, with controversy expressing opinions. Critics fear that the changes could lead to increased traffic jams and high costs, while the supporters see the conversions as necessary steps for more traffic safety and climate protection. The CSU in particular is clearly against the current planning steps. According to Alt mayor Michael Hohl, the CSU strictly rejects the dismantling of the lanes and instead calls for measures such as the expansion of cycle paths and speed limits in Erlanger Strasse.

Before the construction committee meeting, which begins at 3 p.m., a demonstration in front of the town hall is planned. The CSU has highlighted this as an important expression of the resistance against the conversion plans. In the discussion about urban planning planning, the question of a more sustainable living space will also play a role, such as csu-landtag.de reported. A first modernization law to improve the living space situation could set the course for cheaper alternative living opportunities. It remains to be seen how this topic is linked to each other in the city council and the conversion of the traffic routes.
