Dispute over the new manure: Innstrasse or Leopoldstadt?
Dispute over the new manure: Innstrasse or Leopoldstadt?
What's next with the manureplace in Vienna? This question not only employs the residents in Brigittenau and Leopoldstadt, but also urban politics. Since the manure site was closed in Dresdner Straße in 2020, both districts have been looking for a suitable solution for waste disposal. A new location on Innstrasse is now in the room, but the discussions are anything but easy. As reported Krone , the districts are divided when choosing the new location, and the mood is tense.
The town hall has announced a “Grätzelmistplatz” in Innstrasse in the government program of Rot-Pink II. This location was already withdrawn from residents in 2017 due to protests and is now under discussion. Christine Dubravac-Widholm, the district chief of Brigittenau, expresses her support for the planned facility and calls for a quick implementation. The situation is different, Alexander Nikolai, the district leader of Leopoldstadt, who indicates that his district has not yet been informed about the decision.
The Grätzelmistplatz: A place for sustainable offers
The plans for the new manureplatz in Innstrasse are ambitious. Not only a disposal point is planned, but also space for numerous sustainable offers such as repair and upcycling workshops and exchange exchanges. This could be a real profit for the future use of the space, as well as MeinDext . A traffic concept should also ensure optimized access for pedestrians and cargo bikes.
Not all citizens are enthusiastic about the plans. A petition, initiated by Hannes Unger and residents of the Nordbahn district, calls for the preservation of the manure area near the Zwischenbrücken and sees the new location on Innstrasse as a "mega-manure site". Researches about environmental pollution from smells and noise, especially in west wind, have become loud among the residents.
In addition, the criticism of the lack of public relations and involvement of the citizens becomes loud. In this way, the residents could not be sufficiently informed about the plans, which makes the feeling of participation unnecessary. In addition, the MA 48 confirms that the planning of the manureplace is initiated, but still stand up to exact details.
