Criticism of delays at the West waiting hall and Modau bridge
The FDP local branch in Eberstadt is sharply criticizing the lack of barrier-free upgrades to the Wartehalle-West and Modaubrücke bus stops. According to the Liberals, the project cannot be delayed any further, as parents with strollers and people with mobility impairments are particularly dependent on a swift renovation.
“Detailed plans for a future-oriented town center design, including the expansion of bus stops, were developed thanks to extensive voluntary citizen engagement – none of which have yet been addressed by the city government,” explains Christoph Rohloff, chairman of the FDP in Eberstadt. This further erodes the citizens' trust in the city government's ability to function.
Criticism of the city's stalling tactics
According to the FDP (Free Democratic Party) in Eberstadt, the same questions have been repeatedly raised in the district forums for years. However, the answers remain unsatisfactory. Referring to a statement from the HEAG Mobilo press office, the local branch criticizes the fact that the barrier-free conversion of the Wartehalle-West bus stop will only be considered after experience has been gained at the Ludwigshöhstraße stop. The expansion of the Modaubrücke bus stop has been completely abandoned.
The Liberals see this as a policy of delay that has been ongoing since 2017. Numerous passengers are affected: from people with walking disabilities and wheelchair users to parents with strollers.
