Kohl-Allee in Ludwigshafen: Citizens defend themselves against traffic monsters!

In Ludwigshafen, resistance to the controversial Helmut-Kohl-Allee is formed. The citizens' Initiative "Lebenswertes Ludwigshafen" continues to fight to stop the construction of this eight -lane street, which in their opinion separates the city center from the Hemshof. The initiative criticizes that despite the planned pedestrian and bike connections between the two districts, the traffic is a “eight-track climate monster”, which brings environmental pollution such as exhaust gas and noise to a residential area. You are calling for a more appealing, pedestrian -friendly solution for urban development.

The city administration, on the other hand, defends the planning and describes the road as four -lane, similar to the ring roads in Mannheim. A stop of the project would mean that the city would have to bear the 300 million euros already called for the construction work itself, since funding would have to be repaid. It is also feared that the Hochstraße Nord could also be at risk through planned buildings. In order to support your demands, the citizens' initiative organizes a collection of signatures that will take place on October 24 and 31. Support can also be provided online at Openpetition.de/stoppthkallee, such as www.wochenblatt-reporter.de reported.
