The axis between Mayor Michael Ludwig van Vienna and his former City Council, the now Minister of Transport Peter Hanke, makes it possible to make it possible for years: access to Vienna. Ludwig sees a new era in the heart of the city.
“The traffic-linked city center, for which we have been campaigning for so long, is now becoming a reality,” promises Mayor Michael Ludwig (Spö) immediately before the election of Vienna. Access to the city center, as required for years, must be regulated by electronic access management. The federal government could never have gained anything of the idea – most recently in the form of Minister of Transport Leonore Gewessler (Greens) – for reasons for data protection.
System “according to European standards”
In the meantime, Ludwig’s confidant, the former city of Economy of Vienna Peter Hanke, gives the tone in the Ministry of Transport. That should have taken movement in the years of beating between the federal and the city and the city. Problems with data protection, which the ÖVP had previously shared, you can no longer see in the federal government: the video supervision of access restrictions will be “according to European standards”. Such systems are already used in cities such as Paris, Bologna and Turin.
Ludwig sees the limitation of car traffic as a condition so that Vienna can “remain the most liveable city in the world in the future”. He sees a new era for the city center, in which more “room for greening, cooling, attractive pedestrian and cycling paths and inviting lounges are available” and the city center will make a place “where you like to stay, meet, meet and spend time”.
In the groundbreaking role for 25 other cities
Ludwig also emphasizes that the measures to calm down the city center also take over the groundbreaking role for many other Austrian cities. In fact, the city association was also confronted with the Viennese requirements years ago. 25 cities in Austria, from the capitals of the state, are also interested in keeping cars away from the city centers away from neighboring transport.
However, the traffic -inhibiting traffic remains a sebum apple. The ÖVP chairman Karl Mahrer van Vienna was generally called the idea, but immediately called for creating new garage places in the city center, so that “traffic dependence does not work at the expense of economic operators in the city center”. And last but not least, Jewessler has had the support of data protectors in its veto in recent years. It can therefore be expected that even courts will have to make access to their legality access sooner or later.
