Meidling in change: between crime and local recreation!

Meidling in change: between crime and local recreation!

The 12th district in Vienna, a area of ​​tension between tradition and modernity, has caused a stir in the past few days. In particular, the Meidlinger train station, as a central traffic junction, is the focus, not only because of the lack of security. Reports on drug trafficking and homelessness provide a queasy feeling for commuters and passers -by, as reported by krone.at . The ÖVP calls for strict measures, including video surveillance and a ban on alcohol, while the FPÖ insists on increased police controls.

Another hotly discussed topic are the main traffic axes that endanger not only the noise pollution, but also the safety of pedestrians. This is where the ÖVP comes in to help the residents through measures such as noise protection walls. The Greens, on the other hand, argue that a speed limit could defuse the situation. Citizens' suggestions to improve climate protection, which were obtained as part of the "climatic team", could also be part of the solution. A total of 700 ideas have already been received that deal with the improvement of the quality of life in the district, but many citizens are skeptical about the transparency, such as czech-transport.com executed.

The infrastructure of the Meidling train station remains another key factor to revitalize the district. The train station not only offers accessible access to all tracks, but also numerous traffic connections, including the U6 subway line and various bus lines. At the same time, the train station is an important starting point for train connections to Vienna Airport, which further increases the importance of the location. Despite all the challenges, the district remains a central point in the urban structure of Vienna.
