Instead of a disabled parking space, a foot follower woman in Baden (Lower Austria) gets a turning point for the house- including the ban on holding and parking. Necessary services such as physiotherapists or gardeners must now park far away with their equipment.
Sabine Hitzenberger moved from Upper Austria to Baden with her husband and son in 2011. In 2014 she was diagnosed with a degenerative, incurable disease. She can still drive independently of her car. However, entering and leaving is quite difficult for her, which is why she was looking for a disabled parking space directly in front of the house in the country.
Application rejected
This was first approved, but then rejected again. Instead, a turning point was prescribed for her house, and also with a stop and parking ban. Physiotherapist, gardener or other craftsmen who constantly need Hitzenberger because of their illness can no longer hold on to their house and have to cover longer distances on foot with heavy equipment.
Already six similar incidents
“Still stay, you immediately get an advertisement from Buren,” says Hitzenberger. There have already been six of such incidents within 14 days. Parking spaces, on the other hand, came in front of the house. “However, they are regularly full of the neighbor’s fleet,” said Hitzenberger.
During a local inspection in the previous year, she tried to point out the precarious parking situation and the boundaries of the street. She also fears that in the case of a medical emergency – her son Heart -Sick – an ambulance can also be blocked. Hitzenberger, however, pushed deaf ears from all authorities and the mayor of Pfaffstättner Christoph Kainz – De Steeg in front of her house is the municipal border between Baden and the neighboring city.
Kainz says: “With regard to the minimum width of the road, there was a negotiation with the district administration and both municipalities. It turned out that the road width was not undermined.
