Criticism of the Senate: Weitlingkiez is fighting for traffic calming!
In the current debate about the traffic calming of Berlin, various players have spoken out: in particular district councilor Filiz Küllüoğlu from Bündnis 90/The Greens, who sharply criticizes the decision of the Senate Department for Mobility, Transport, Climate Protection and Environment (SenMVKU).

In November 2022, the district council of Lichtenberg (BVV) decided on the printed matter 0353/IX entitled "Place for people instead of through traffic".

Nevertheless, measures are implemented in the Weitlingkiez to increase the way to school. For example, the partial collection of Wönnichstraße is prepared at the level of the Robinson primary school in order to offer footballs, especially students: inside, more space.
This measure is requested by the school community and the resident and is in the printing no. 0912/IX of BVV Lichtenberg.

Over the years, a feasibility study has been developed that started in 2019 with the support of the Senate Administration. Various measures for traffic calming have been implemented, such as the conversion of Görlitzer Straße and the Görlitz bank into a pedestrian zone to return the residents: more space inside.
However, there is also resistance. The initiative "Mobility turnaround - right!" rejects the ideas of a car -free wrangle neighborhood because it fears that this could lead to gentrification and touristification. They argue that many residents are dependent on cars.

traffic -calming measures are not only an overall concept for optimizing urban spaces, but also a reaction to the needs of the population. Experts emphasize that such measures increase quality of life and living, since they reduce the risk of accidents and increase the attractiveness for pedestrians and cyclists by reducing speed and creating their residence areas.
