Seven Sea Creamy Italian

For a sustainable restructuring plan

The paddle parade demonstrated the Coalition for Action "Landwehrkanal for all!" Saturday expressly against the Water and Shipping Authority pursued and as the success of the " mediation forum future Landwehrkanal" illustrated plan, only landscape nursing accompanied maintenance measures carried out on parts of the channel. This entertainment measures would create a permanent restoration. They would present the dominance of fossil Passenger ships and protection of historic buildings and cement prevent any further rehabilitation planning.

The alliance calls instead for the development of a holistic urban rehabilitation concept ( Master Plan ) for the channel, which includes the following aspects:

- priority for zero emission Transportation to and along the canal
- improvement of amenity values and recreational opportunities
- improve the ecological function as habitat network
- cross-free pedestrian and cycle paths on both channel sides
- measures to improvement water quality
- accessible accessibility for disabled

We urge the State of Berlin in cooperation with the Water and Maritime Administration the development of a initiate urban approach to the canal, which meets these requirements.

awaiting the launching of the procedure should provisional safeguards be carried out so that nature and recreation affected as little as possible be. In the prep areas are dynamic emission measurements are made.
The Evening News reported on the evening and on the homepage of the transmitter erroneously that organized the parade paddle against a concept-free reorganization of the Landwehr canal from the "Association of trees on the Landwehr canal.

is true that the paddle parade like last year, the result of an initiative by the Coalition for Action "Landwehrkanal for all!" was. The initiators had

leave the mediation forum last summer in protest, especially after the shipping companies Riedel and star and circle a unanimous decision to demand a holistic rehabilitation concept ( Master Plan ) with broad citizen participation blocked and rejected the Water and Shipping Authority even the financing a preliminary study Master Plan . The Action Alliance "Landwehrkanal for All cooperating since then with the citizens initiatives against the expansion of motorway A 100 and change in Spree planning

What Is A Lab Purpose Statement

Everybody talks about the weather - We paddle!


It is expected that the weather this Saturday moody - that makes a bit of our atmosphere - so she fits well. We leave with a few clouds prevent any more from paddling as a half-hearted touched, cobbler-like, and concept-free channel repair as they now as a result of a two-year mediation with substantial exclusion of the public from the Water and Shipping Authority as a "success sold".

We sit with the paddle parade on Saturday for a more comprehensive and holistic rehabilitation planning, both the needs of people for meetings and recreation and the demands of a nature-friendly urban development challenges, as well as impetus for a sustainable provides economic development rather than backward-looking customary rights of shipowners and monument protection in the foreground.

For us it is not a success if no more came out after two years of mediation, as the preservation of the trees had to, because this concession, the Water and Shipping Administration two years ago to make a thousand times because of the protest. It may not otherwise go all the same.

celebrations Let's not rush to succeed, but we put forward to the next round of a political tug of war on the future of the channel and thus the future of our environment and our neighborhood - especially now in the election year.

Let take us but not the fun of civil resistance to decorate ourselves and our boats - we all make this urban development policy issue attention with good music and with our presence. .
