Traffic Club Germany (VCD) has issued a press statement on OU Waake:
VCD demands: restore instead road building transport infrastructure
The VCD calls the actors of the two major parties, particularly Mr Thomas Oppermann (SPD, MP), and the ladies and gentlemen give up the "Senior Citizens' Union" in their being old notions of a supposedly benefactors transport planning at last. The time is ripe. The citizens have no more understanding for a policy that meets the current needs of society does not do justice. No blind AktionismusDie political actors may not take the economic and financial crisis as an excuse to fall into blind action. The funds from the federal stimulus package should be placed in the realization of senseless road-building projects like Waake or south of the city of Göttingen. Rather, according to the VCD, the existing Transport infrastructure to be rehabilitated. The expansion and repair of footpaths and cycle paths and the promotion of bus and rail transport need not least in terms of the threat of global warming a top priority. That would be a policy of sustainability, which also has the interests of future generations in mind. A long-overdue project would be the expansion of the floor areas for speed railway line 80, decrease the elimination of dangerous included herein is Überwege.Verkehrsaufkommen.
Proponents of Waake bypass closed, according to the VCD their eyes to the important facts: Because of demographic change reduces the number of citizens, especially in the southern Lower Saxony Surrounding area. The plans for Waake were in the 1990s from a daily traffic of 20,000 vehicles. The last census of the district of Göttingen found that even happen today only 14,000 vehicles per day the place. Considering also that the increasing number of those who form the car-pooling, car sharing or public transport use, it must be asked, particularly after the meaning and justification for the envisaged money. The noise and fumes stricken inhabitants Waake first with simpler measures, such as helped an intelligent traffic light control to avoid congestion. The development of new, innovative and environmentally friendly vehicle drive technology is the medium care in Waake for clean air and peaceful sleep. The VCD insists: No waste of money in election campaigns! Other priorities set! Martin Odernheimer, Benjamin Bock
