The left faction promotes more speed in the traffic turnaround.
We finally want more speed for the traffic turnaround - for
environment, health and quality of life. More mobility on foot, by
bicycle, by bus and train – less motorized private transport. That
is the way, to achieve the climate protection goals. Kassel has a lot
Green - especially in the Fuldaauen or in the Habichtswald. But the
Residents in densely built-up areas and from traffic in particular
polluted parts of the city have little of it. There are green spaces and
trees needed.

Although most would like less traffic, there is also in Kassel
more and more cars. The problem isn't with appeals to everyone
solve individuals. It is a social and urban political one
task, to reduce the traffic load.

As a left we are committed to this, that our city gradually from
freed from moving and stationary car traffic. First there, where tram
and buses are already a very good alternative. We want, that
for parking in public spaces (depending on the weight class
vehicles) will be paid. We want public transport for free – at least for
people with a small budget. And we want a car-free bonus, 
for all, who don't have a car, or unsubscribe it. an appropriate one
We bring the motion to the city parliament. But that's not enough.

So that more moves, we invite the citizens, the
civil society groups and also the press to the meeting
under the open sky:
on Friday, 10. June from 17.00 to 19.00 o'clock in the New Ride, Corner
opera street
with music, culture, small children's program and bicycle self-help workshop

Our idea is, that the "heart of Kassel" (in between
Kurt-Schuhmacher-Strasse, stone way, Standplatz/Rudolf-Schwander and
Five Star Street) becomes a special use zone; blocked for normal
car traffic. Parking lots are transformed into green oases and with trees
planted. Space is created in the multi-storey car parks of Stadt Kassel GmbH
for cultural initiatives, Youth meetings and party, because there are big ones for that
Requirement. We want to help the residents and committed
People get into conversation and open up space for further initiatives.
