In many cities, including Frankfurt, neighbourly encounters occur at a lower rate than in the past. This has a negative impact on the mental health and overall quality of life of the residents of Frankfurt. That’s why, with this motion (NR.310), we’ve decided to identify 15 potential neighbourhood streets in different parts of the city that can be closed to traffic on Sunday afternoons for the summer months of 2022. (Of course, emergency vehicles and vehicles of people with physical impairments are exempt from closures).

Volt Frankfurt: the political party
Volt Frankfurt is part of Volt Europe, the first party that is the same all over Europe. In Frankfurt, at the heart of Europe, we fight for a progressive, sustainable and united EU. We work according to the motto: Think global, act local.
Nearly one million people live and work in Frankfurt. The challanges we face are shared with over 100 Million people in metropolies all over europe. Volt stands for the urban living of tomorrow, using progressive and pragmatic solutions.
We want to implement concepts that were already proven successful in other european cities. Be it lowering rents like Vienna, cycling like in Copenhagen or digital gouvernment services like Estland: we want to solve Problems, instead of just pushing them to the next election cycle.
