creative suggestions for a better avoiding

One of the first suggestions came from a resident of Aichholzgasse who pointed out the speed overruns in the Grätzl. He suggests changing the road to a one -way street in order not only to reduce the speed, but also to create space for planting new trees. These could ensure a pleasant cooling in the summer, which is urgently needed in the city.

Another interesting contribution comes from Rene, who dreams of a promenade between Hufelandgasse and Schönbrunn Castle. According to him, the schanigents could be moved to the road to offer the pedestrians more space and reduce traffic in this way.

water features in the pedestrian zone are the heart of the idea of Gregor, while Rüdiger Rücker speaks out for a fountain at the Meidlinger Markt to increase the attractiveness of the area. He points out that there was already a water point in the past that was very valued at the time.

LISA brought the proposal to plant a tree avenue along Breitenfurter Strasse. This could extend over a section of six kilometers and lead from train station to the Liesing S-Bahn station. She argues that this not only improve air quality, but also the example of Schönbrunner Allee, where positive changes were also observed.

In order to join in and to submit their own ideas, interested citizens can attend the platform . Here the exchange and the joint development of proposals is expressly desired in order to work together on a greener and livable future.
