Hamburg - In view of increasing vehicle registrations, the CDU in the Hamburg Parliament is calling for the red-green Senate to change course in transport policy.

According to a senate response to his written minor inquiry, an average of 43 new cars would be registered in the city every day, said Richard Seelmaecker, traffic expert for the parliamentary group, of the German press agency.

“At the same time, around two parking spaces in Hamburg are eliminated every day.

This will further increase the parking pressure and that is obviously the declared goal of the SPD and the Greens. "

Federal government, city and railway check feasibility: Another Elbe bridge

In view of existing route congestion and an expected increase in train traffic, the federal government, the City of Hamburg and Deutsche Bahn are examining the feasibility of building another Elbe bridge over the North Elbe.

The aim is to expand the capacity of the route between Hamburg Central Station and Hamburg-Harburg, said Transport Senator Anjes Tjarks (Greens) on Friday.

However, a good transport policy must resolve the looming conflict and "for example create targeted alternatives via underground district garages and an attractive expansion of local public transport", demanded Seelmaecker.

"Ignoring a development because it does not fit your own political agenda has at least never been a working approach."

According to the Senate's answer, 818,153 cars were registered in the city as of September 1, a good 12,500 more than at the beginning of the year.

There were also 72,170 registered trucks and 57,363 motorcycles.
