Maxvorstadt residents' meeting to be held at St Markus Church on 17 November

The residents' meeting for Munich's 3rd district, Maxvorstadt, will take place on Tuesday 17 November at 7pm in the Protestant St Markus Church at Gabelsbergerstraße 6. Lord Mayor Dominik Krause announced the date in agreement with the Maxvorstadt District Committee. The meeting will be chaired by Mayor Mona Fuchs, who will open the evening together with the District Committee chair, Dr Svenja Jarchow-Pongratz, with an update on important issues and projects in the district.

The main topics are expected to include traffic in the district, with the latest position on cycle lane plans for Görresstraße and traffic management during roadworks and major events. Building projects are also on the agenda, including the redesign of Augustenstraße and plans for Ludwigstraße, with updates on progress and timescales. Green spaces and squares will be discussed, covering Ali-Mitgutsch-Platz and plans for the Pinakotheken and the surrounding area. Under the heading of public space, the meeting is expected to address late-night corner shops, outdoor seating areas and pavement terraces, places for young people and noise, and the increased amount of litter in public areas.

From 6pm to 7pm, before the meeting begins, residents can put questions to representatives of several city departments and organisations. These include the Department of Construction for parks and civil engineering, the Mobility Department for road traffic, the Department of Climate and Environmental Protection for energy advice from the Bauzentrum and its funding programme, the District Administration Department's district inspectorate, and the Health Department's patients' commissioner. Representatives of Munich Cemeteries and Funeral Services, the Munich transport company MVG and Dr Jarchow-Pongratz will also attend, along with, as a rule, the Senior Citizens' Council, the local police station, the city information service and the local social services centre.

Motions and questions must be raised in person at the meeting and also submitted in writing. The form and further information are available at www.muenchen.de/buergerversammlung, and the form will also be handed out at the start of the meeting. Anyone wishing to vote is asked to bring official photo identification to prove they live in the district, and will then receive a card entitling them to take part in all votes.

Motions passed by the meeting will be displayed in full for the public at the central office of District Committees 1, 2, 3, 4 and 12 at Marienplatz 8, where the City Council and District Committee papers dealing with the motions can also be viewed. A newsletter with updates on the meeting for each district can be subscribed to at www.muenchen.de/newsletter-bv.
