Petition is addressed to: Bürgermeister Dietmar Prammer

The construction of a new cycle path on the (formerly) three-lane Nibelungenbrücke (Linz)
has caused significant traffic disruptions, as one of the lanes has been converted to bicycle traffic.

Reason

Reasoning:
The construction of a new bike path on the bridge has led to unacceptable traffic chaos. The conversion of a lane to bicycle traffic has severely disrupted traffic flow. This leads to the following problems:

Long traffic jams and waiting times: Commuters and residents lose valuable time in traffic jams, leading to stress and frustration.

Increased environmental pollution: Slow-moving traffic increases emissions of pollutants and noise.

Threat to road safety: Traffic jams and evasive maneuvers increase the risk of accidents.

Impact on public transport: Buses and other public transport are also affected by the congestion, leading to delays and unreliability.

Demands:
Immediate review of the current traffic flow on the bridge.

Development of alternative solutions that meet the needs of both bicycle traffic and motorized traffic.

Involvement of experts and stakeholders in the planning process.

Transparent communication and information to the public about the planned measures.

Thank you for your support, Niklas Außerwöger, Linz
