Parkplatzchaos am Froschberg: Where is the solution for the residents?

The shortage of parking in Linz is increasingly becoming the focus of the discussions, especially in the Froschberg district. After the opening of the Raiffeisen Arena, the situation has drastically tightened. As Today.at , the parking situation is a serious problem for many residents. Florian Koppler, spokesman for the SPÖ traffic spokesman, expressed sharp criticism of the responsible traffic officer Martin Hajart, who has been responsible for solutions for two years, but he was unsuccessful in his efforts. Residents are still waiting for a promised survey to clarify the urgency of the grievances.

inadequate measures

The first steps to relieve the problems seem to have stalled due to political differences. While the ÖVP continues to express legal concerns, there are no concrete measures to reduce parking pressure. Koppler emphasized that despite "positive signals" there are no progress. The debate about the creation of "green parking zones" - which would enable longer parking - is a central topic. A system that has been successfully implemented in other parts of the city is still completely missing here.

The situation is still exacerbated by the increased number of visitors to events in the Raiffeisen-Arena and the Tips-Arena, such as linzpartei.at . Vice Mayor Hajart was reminded of the urgency of new protective measures several times in the local council, but his rejection of the suggestions causes resentment among the residents. A new concept for improving the parking situation, which includes the survey of the residents, is initially unsuccessful, which further heats up the concerns of the Froschberg population.
