Conversion of the horse market: tax money or improvement in quality of life?
Conversion of the horse market: tax money or improvement in quality of life?
The conversion plans for the Oldenburg horse market ensure violent controversy. Critics warn of high costs and long construction times, while the city administration strives for an development of around 1000 square meters of green space. Oldenburg could catapult these measures into the "black book" of the federal government of taxpayers and denounce tax a waste of tax. The renovation could not only put a significant impact on traffic, but also negatively influence the business around the weekly market.
The planned changes provide to dismantle parking spaces and reduce lanes, which could lead to traffic jams and increased emissions with the already high traffic. Many residents wonder where the actual benefits of this redesign is when only a few trees and shrubs are to be planted on the newly created area. Critics emphasize that better quality of stay and less car traffic are crucial for the city center, while accessibility by car does not necessarily attract more customers. This discussion is expected to continue to gain intensity while the city holds on to the plans. More information can be found www.nwzonline.de .
