Constance has two major problems: the much traffic and too little space for new roads and parking lots.
was When I was in my old-WG to the "Lower arbor" lived it to the new general duty on the European road and not the entire transit traffic had to go to Switzerland or on the porch to the main duty of the Kreuzlinger road. That is, by driving could not speak, stand, or at best roles were the trucks, because every morning - except Sunday - were bunched up on the tractors out with their loads all the foliage down, sometimes to the old bridge over the Rhine.
Thus began my morning not with the ringing of the alarm clock but usually with honking horns of blocked by the truck Drivers or sometimes with one or other dispute ...
"You ass, finally driving with out of the way! I come here not by "
" Do not you think that this is not going on. Should I let me grow wings and fly away? "
" You must not remain and are currently in the middle of the intersection! Clear "
" Yes. I apologize to you on behalf of all truck drivers who travel to Italy to fetch for you vegetables and cheese. Excuse me very much. "
" Let me finally pass you idiot "
" stop driving around the outside, you buffoon! "
For the last statement, you should know that paradise, as the district was called to one side of the arbor, a network of noisy one-way streets, and in that foreign travel around from some roads, not at all possible, since all the feeder roads one-way streets in the wrong direction or cars are completely blocked.
I needed no alarm clock to wake up, the noise from the street was better than any alarm clock.
belong to these last few years every morning truck traffic jams on the porch of the past because the truck hitting the Schänzlebrücke now crawl to the new main duty at the European road. Constance the traffic problem it is not solved. In addition to the traffic in Switzerland, there is also the traffic coming from Switzerland to Germany. And this can not be on the European route redirect, because this traffic will in the city of Constance in and not be led around the city.
For Germany, the Swiss is what Poland is for the Germans, a large supermarket cheaper - to top it all themselves, the Swiss can also pay back the VAT.
has also Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, the mirror image of stability, attractive little shops. Besides the two Migros and cigars and chocolate brands Portman Urs There are companies in Kreuzlingen practically only cheap shops and businesses, the so-called "vehicles" (used goods). In addition, there is the carousel, a small mall, where I was two or three times and the staring at me every time bored employees from their empty shops with imploring eyes, that I would pluck them out of their lethargy. But somehow I had nothing to offer this business and just like it did not look well the Swiss buyers.
for Swiss business, it is also an almost impossible task with the German business to compete on the basis of currency differences and the additional Opportunity to get paid 19% VAT, loose 30 to 40 percent cheaper than their Swiss counterparts. In return, Swiss fuel stations could earn at the German customers a fortune - then this is probably poetic justice.
And so every morning the bubble on the Swiss Emmi Hofer Kreuzlinger the customs to Germany on a mission for the good prices.
The construction of Lake Center, a shopping center in Little Venice on the lake, has made the situation even worse than it already was. And the reign of the Green City Hall has banned the owners of Lake Center, the planned underground parking with 2000 to build parking lots, on the grounds that it would not have many cars in the city and the buyers prefer to use the Park & Ride facilities and the regional "Seehas.
Instead, the lake could be built only center with 710 parking spaces, which meant that every morning at 9:30 clock a metal avalanche by Swiss customs gates to the parking deck of the Lake Center draws. While the driver (or driver) with the engine running on the Bodanstraße stands and waits for a vacant parking space in the Center Lake Park home, the other occupants of the car make the first ever shopping in the mall - practical environmental protection looks different.
Why the Greens are not in the head goes, the people that they can not change and want to drive the buyers prefer the car to the front door of their favorite business, I will forever remain a mystery. Park & Ride is a nice idea but completely unrealistic - especially when the drivers come from a country in which the fuel still costs less than one euro per liter. Instead of trying
(unsurprisingly) without success to force the Swiss buyers with too few parking spaces, not to travel by car to Constance, it would in my opinion much more sense to allow the large shopping centers to build parking spaces at their retail outlets so people can quickly find a car park and leave their cars rather than stand for hours with the engine running in the city of Constance and pollute the air. Would not that be a much greener solution?
Not so for the Greens: a new planned shopping center on the grounds of the former district savings bank in the Bodanstraße was also forbidden to build many underground parking spaces - you would not have the traffic in Constance, was cited as justification. As if the traffic jams every morning to Lake Center does not have more than enough traffic for the small city of Constance.
But if you look long enough to keep the eyes, then the market may solve in air and all the Swiss have to walk for shopping to Konstanz ...
