Local Election Prep, Pro-Auto Party

 Wiesbaden area is preparing for the city-election in mid-March.

So....a new party has arrived and intend to campaign....the  Pro-Auto Party.

Their emphasis?  Urban development, the economy, security, and public order.

Mobility remains a key issue

They will be advocating for the rights of motorists....opposing a potential light rail system....preserving parking spaces.....reversing traffic measures deemed problematic by the party, and rejecting the Ostfeld project. 

Other points?  Safety and cleanliness in the city center, the reduction of bureaucracy, structural reforms of municipal companies, and a reduction in property and business taxes. 

Picking a weakness of the top three parties (CDU, SPD and Greens)?  Yeah.

I would suggest that two-thirds of the  residents have a negative opinion over traffic, parking and see 'planning' as marginal process.

The Ostfeld project?   If you draw a line from the center of town....toward the Army Airfield....there's a 500-acre area that was formerly a garbage dump....renovated to a nature area, and some portion of it...is supposed to change into a housing area.
