Duisburg on the way to the bicycle metropolis - Greens and ADFC raise the alarm!

The aim was to discuss a possible cooperation between the two organizations and to sketch concrete steps to improve the cycling infrastructure in the city. The ADFC expressed clear expectations of the Greens, in particular with regard to significant positioning for cycling in urban bodies and in public relations. These claims were supported by the Greens with the common conviction that a more bicycle -friendly cityscape in Duisburg is necessary.
In the conversations, there was agreement on the vision of developing Duisburg into a city in the future that promotes cycling and makes it more secure. The exchange was rated as productive, and another meeting before the summer holidays is already being planned. In addition to the Greens, both sides also strive for talks with representatives of the SPD, CDU and the left to achieve broad support for their project. This cooperation is particularly important in order to support well -founded political decisions and to sensitize the public to the numerous advantages of improved bicycle traffic.
