Bogenhausen residents' meeting to be held at Luitpold-Gymnasium on 27 October

The residents' meeting for Munich's 13th district, Bogenhausen, will take place on Tuesday 27 October at 7pm in the triple sports hall of the Luitpold-Gymnasium, Elektrastraße 61. Lord Mayor Dominik Krause announced the date in agreement with the Bogenhausen District Committee. City councillor Sebastian Weisenburger, leader of the Greens – Rosa Liste group on the city council, will chair the meeting.

The meeting will open with an update on key issues and projects in the district from the chair and from District Committee chairman Samuel Moser. Transport is expected to be one of the main topics, including the expansion of public transport, in particular the tram extensions to Johanneskirchen and Daglfing; resident parking zones in Altbogenhausen and Parkstadt Bogenhausen; electric mobility, including charging points, mobility hubs and shared parking areas; and e-scooters on pavements and geofencing.

Building and planning projects are also expected to feature. These include urban development in north-east Munich, covering the Olympic Village, the urban development measure and the Federal Garden Show, together with public transport links; planned rail tunnels, particularly in connection with the Brenner northern approach; unfinished buildings left by insolvent developers at Freischützgärten/An den Winterlinden, Cosimastraße/Meistersingerstraße and Scheinerstraße/Laplacestraße; and planned developments at Mariengärten, Cosima-Eck (Cosimastraße/Johanneskirchner Straße), the Arabellahaus and Stefan-George-Ring. Other expected topics are the accommodation of refugees, including the construction of the flexible housing facility on Cosimastraße; municipal heat planning, especially for areas east of the railway; and heat and health protection, including planned measures at schools and other facilities, removing paved surfaces, tree planting, fresh air corridors and the drying out of the Hüllgraben stream.

From 6pm to 7pm, residents can put questions to representatives of several city departments and organisations. These include the Building Department's horticulture and civil engineering teams, the Mobility Department's road traffic team, the energy advice service of the Bauzentrum within the Department of Climate and Environmental Protection, the district inspectorate of the KVR, the Health Department's advice centre for sexually transmitted infections, the city's patient representative, Munich Cemeteries and Funerals, and the Munich transport company MVG. District Committee chairman Samuel Moser will also attend, as will, as a rule, the senior citizens' advisory council, the police inspectorate, 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.
