There are still 600 hours or 25 days until the people of Linz are called to vote and elect a new council and the new (or old?) Mayor. But this year you will be spoiled for choice: eleven lists will be on the ballot paper, ten candidates will battle for the city chief’s chair.
No wonder that the “forest” of election posters is getting thicker and that the political parties are drumming their slogans and standard phrases. But what do the people of Linz want themselves? Which topics are you moving? The OÖN asked around and asked around in different parts of the city about the problems, what the citizens want from politics. This time in downtown Linz. Climate change, for example, is a hotly debated topic. “You have to create more green spaces,” says Doris Nimmervoll – see the survey below. In addition, “there are no benches in the area of the country road”. When it comes to traffic, the people of Linz would like to see the expansion of public transport and better bike paths in the city center. In addition to the sometimes exorbitantly high rental and apartment prices, the Linzers are demanding solutions from politicians, which could put a stop to speculation with new residential towers in this area in the future.
In the coming days you can read in your OÖNachrichten what moves the people of Linz in other parts of the city, what wishes they have from politics.
