Recommendation Issued for a Radiation Safety Directive for Workers, Aiming to Safeguard Them from Radiation Exposure Risks.
The future of the Fraktion jetzt! bridge, a concrete structure over the North Canal at Nordkanalallee/Selikumer Straße, hangs in the balance as the Committee for Planning, Urban Development and Mobility deliberates on its fate. The bridge, designed by Neuss architect Klaus Rohlinger, a member of the Bund Deutscher Architekten (BDA) from 1904-1929, has historical and cultural significance and is considered worthy of protection as a historic monument. However, it is currently planned to be demolished to make way for a new building for faster cycling. The application to demolish the bridge was initially referred by the Culture Committee, but no decision recommendation was given. The city, as the owner of the bridge, is now expected to apply for a protection procedure with the Lower Heritage Authority. Fraktion Geschaeftsfuhrerin Kerstin Wilke and Fraktionsvorsitzender Michael Klinkicht share the view that the demolition of the bridge may not be necessary. Wilke, in particular, has expressed doubts about the need for the tree, which would also have to be felled, to be removed. An information board is proposed to be installed to point out the work of the Neuss architect, Walter Klingenberg, who designed several well-known buildings, including the former Herz-Jesu-Kloster, houses Liedmannstraße 14 and 16 (under historic protection), the Kamillus-Haus complex, and the St. Anna children's home (demolished in 1978). The referral to the Committee for Planning, Urban Development and Mobility marks a step forward in the process of deciding the bridge's future. The Committee is responsible for making a decision on the bridge's future and their decision will have a significant impact on the bridge's fate. The Committee for Planning, Urban Development and Mobility's decision on the bridge's protection and potential demolition is currently with them, and a decision is expected soon. The bridge's supporters hope that the Committee will recognise its historical and cultural significance and take steps to protect it.
