Are the Ludwigshafen fight against the climate monster of the carbon avenue?

Ludwigshafen, Deutschland - In Ludwigshafen it is bubbling! The “Life-worthy Ludwigshafen” citizens' initiative is against the controversial Helmut-Kohl-Allee and fights for a greener urban development. Despite the construction project that has already started, the activists see the eight -track road as a "climate monster", which not only brings heat and noise, but also car exhaust gases to the residential area. They also fear that the city is separated from the Hemshof through the new road and instead demand a pedestrian -friendly solution.

The city administration, on the other hand, defends the project. She speaks of a four-lane road, similar to the ring roads in Mannheim, and warns that a stop of Kohl-Allee would have significant financial consequences: 300 million euros that have already been called up would have to be repaid. The citizens' initiative is planning signatures on October 24 and 31 to mobilize against the project and is convinced that urban planning does not meet the needs of the citizens.
