New parking system in Graefekiez: Criticism of residents and traders

Graefekiez in Kreuzberg is testing a new parking system

In the Graefekiez in Kreuzberg, a new parking system is currently being tested that causes resentment among residents and traders, reports the Berliner Morgenpost. According to the test concept, the parking time for drivers should be limited from three to two hours so far. This is to achieve a higher fluctuation of the parking spaces.

The residents and business owners of the Graefekiez criticize the new system and fear negative effects on their daily life and their business. They argue that the shortened parking time is impractical for you and your customers and that there will be higher volume of traffic through the increased search for parking spaces.

In addition to the concerns of the residents and traders, the parking facilities in the Graefekiez are already limited, since it is a highly frequented living and commercial area. A shortening of the parking time could therefore mean even greater difficulties for drivers.

The responsible authorities and the district should take this into account when making their decision and possibly take alternative solutions to improve the parking situation in Graefekiez.
