Breaking News: Residents Celebrate End of Poser and Raser Plight in Bremen’s Überseestadt
Sylvia Goykel Abid can barely contain her joy. “This is just so awesome,” she exclaims, gesturing towards the Weser promenade in Bremen’s Überseestadt. The neighborhood, once plagued by noise and unsavory activities, is finally experiencing a shift. Residents are moving around more freely, and even the balconies are seeing renewed activity. Goykel Abid likens the recent measures against Posers and Rasers to a long-awaited liberation, offering residents a chance to finally take a deep breath.
Years of Struggle Finally Pay Off
Goykel Abid has lived in Überseestadt for around 25 years. However, the endless noise and harassment took a toll. She moved in anticipation of a better quality of life, but the issues persisted. The booming music, revving engines, and piercing headlights of up to 30 cars middle of the night became the norm. Local residents had tried for years to rectify the situation through petitions to the traffic authority, with little success—until recently.
Traffic Barriers and Road Closures Bring Relief
Once Özlem Ünsal (SPD) became the traffic senator, changes finally started materializing. Brake thresholds and Berlin pillows were installed on the Kommodore-Johnsen-Boulevard, and access to the promenade was completely closed off, reducing the nocturnal troubles significantly. Recently, Ünsal toured the area, receiving clear signs of satisfaction from the residents with applause and praise for listening and taking action.
силаA New Battle: Consul Smidt Straße
While the initial measures have clearly helped, the issue has shifted. Now, Posers and Rasers have moved to Consul Smidt Straße, causing similar disruptions. Residents like Michaela Hötzel and Candy Niehaus report constant racing on both lanes, traffic light ignorance, loud music, and relentless honking. These issues extend beyond weekends and are increasingly visible during the week.
Community and Authorities Team Up for Long-Term Solutions
At the upcoming Petitions Committee meeting on August 15, the new hotspot and overall strategy against Posers and Rasers will be addressed. Niehaus proposes video surveillance, while Hötzel suggests traffic islands with central trees to slowdown and deter racers. The community and authorities seem committed to finding and implementing a lasting solution.
These measures reflect a broader strategy to maintain conflicting urban spaces, focusing on safety and residents’ well-being. The approach ensures long-term improvements for Bremen’s Überseestadt, setting a precedent for other troubled areas.
