Master plan go: Hietzing plans pedestrian -friendly improvements

The district council of Hietzing has taken a significant step to improve the pedestrian infrastructure by unanimously deciding on the "master plan". The aim of this plan is to optimize the conditions for pedestrians in the region. This initiative enters into the context of 16 Viennese districts that have already implemented similar projects in order to make the walking-to-foot go-to-foot.

The district council has recognized that there are numerous obstacles for pedestrians in Hietzing, such as narrow sidewalks and uncertain road crossings. The "Master Plan" is to mobilize funding from the federal government in order to cover up to 50 percent of the costs for various improvement measures. A first step is to develop a detailed concept in which both local district representatives and experts from the city of Vienna will work.

projects for more pedestrian friendliness

The commitment to improve pedestrian infrastructure is supported by a working group that includes all political factions in the 13th district. However, this group has recently lost dynamics, which was noted by green representatives during the district council. District chief Nikolaus Ebert from the ÖVP was optimistic about the constructive suggestions that could result from the discussions about the master plan.

The SPÖ relies on the subject of accessibility. Club chairman Katharina Mayer-Egerer emphasizes that it is important that parents with strollers and people with disabilities can also navigate freely through public space. Safety aspects, in particular with regard to the way to school, are also to be treated priority. Christopher Hetfleisch from the Greens indicates that older fellow citizens need a well -developed infrastructure that offers short distances, seating and shadows in order to be able to move safely.

The initiatives from the "Master Plan" have the potential to significantly improve the quality of life of the Hietzingen population. So Katharina Kainz was positive about the knowledge that is to be obtained from the master plan. These findings could serve as the basis for urgently needed improvement measures.

A comprehensive check of the sidewalks is considered urgently necessary. Suggestions come not only from political circles, but also from the citizens who repeatedly report concerns that affect security and accessibility. In particular, the Veitingergasse, which does not correspond to the current standards for road construction, is often emphasized as problematic.

The discussions about the "Master Plan go" confirm the endeavor to develop Hietzing into a more pedestrian -friendly environment. Georg Heinreichsberger from the FPÖ emphasized the special topographical conditions of Hietzings, which require special solutions. The project to increase pedestrian friendliness is not only supported by financial support, but also by the exchange of ideas and suggestions in the community.
