Street openings: Viennese Greens upset about Ludwig
City Councilor Birgit Hebein (Greens) had already announced at the weekend that she wanted to open streets for pedestrians and cyclists. Individual magistrate departments were also reported to have been commissioned to do this. On Tuesday evening, Hebein submitted a written concept to the mayor, which streets should be converted into “temporary meeting zones” for the duration of the exit restrictions. On Wednesday there was a conversation between the city boss and his vice.
