Residents' meeting for Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt to be held on 28 October

Residents of Munich's 2nd district, Ludwigsvorstadt-Isarvorstadt, are invited to a residents' meeting on Wednesday 28 October at 7pm. It will take place in the gym of the Mathilde Eller School at Klenzestraße 27, with access via Corneliusstraße 17a. Mayor Dominik Krause announced the date in agreement with the district committee.

The main topics are expected to include building sites, traffic and parking in the district, and crowds in the Gärtnerplatz quarter linked to kiosks and bars on Klenzestraße, Reichenbachstraße and Fraunhoferstraße. Also on the agenda are the station district task force, including Nussbaumpark and a pilot scheme on Goethestraße, and building sites that have stalled or never started. The meeting will also cover the refurbishment of the Wittelsbacher Bridge, including new traffic arrangements around Baldeplatz.

Project ideas and candidates from the district for Munich's International Building Exhibition will also be discussed. These include the Braunau railway bridge project, titled 'Isar Happiness – Old Bridge, New Place for Munich', and plans for the area around the main railway station, among them the 'Future of the Station Quarter' initiative and a vision for a 'Munich Central Park'.

The meeting will be chaired by city councillor Tobias Ruff, leader of the ÖDP/ML/BK group, who will open the evening with district committee chair Benoît Blaser. Between 6pm and 7pm, representatives from city departments, the Munich transport company MVG, the police and other bodies will be available to answer residents' questions.

Motions and questions must be raised in person at the meeting and submitted in writing, using a form available at www.muenchen.de/buergerversammlung or handed out at the start. Residents wishing to vote should bring official photo ID to show that they live in the district. A sign language interpreting service will be provided and the venue is wheelchair accessible.
