Solingen’s Green Party Unveils Bold Plan for a Solar-Powered Roadway
The Solingen Green Party is hosting a significant event on Monday, November 17, inviting key figures to discuss the future of the city's economy, climate, and mobility. The event, titled 'Transforming Viehbachtalstraße: A Green Vision', aims to foster dialogue between the city, state, and business community regarding an innovative project.
The project in question is the transformation of Viehbachtalstraße (L141) into an energy-producing road. The Greens propose to install a solar photovoltaic system along the route, aiming to supply electricity to local businesses. This ambitious plan not only seeks to advance climate protection but also to improve freight traffic connections, thereby promoting economic growth.
The event will take place at the Cobra Solingen venue starting at 7:00 PM. The Green Party has invited Lord Mayor Daniel Flemm (CDU) and Thilo Schnor, the former chair of the responsible committee, who supports the project's dual focus on economic growth and climate protection. Finn Grimsehl-Schmitz, the Green Party’s designated spokesperson on the Urban Development Committee, emphasizes the project’s significance for future-proofing the city's infrastructure.
Adding weight to the event, the Green Party has invited Oliver Krischer, Minister for Environment, Nature Conservation and Transport, and Yazgülü Zeybek, State Chairwoman of the Green Party NRW. More information about the event is available on the Green Party's Solingen website.
The debate on Monday, November 17, promises to be a crucial platform for discussing and shaping the city's sustainable future. By combining efforts to protect the climate with plans for economic growth, the project offers a compelling vision for Solingen's development. The event provides an opportunity for the city, state, and business community to engage in dialogue and collaborate towards a greener, more prosperous future.
