LINZ. Eleven residents are now officially filing a legal complaint against the building permit for the Quadrill high-rise on the Tabakfabrik site in Linz, which is already under construction. Now it is up to the regional administrative court of Upper Austria.
“All of our well-founded and substantial objections dripped off during the construction negotiations in October like on a Teflon facade. The building permit was issued zack-zag-zag in a fast-track procedure,” explains Brita Piovesan, spokeswoman for the citizens’ initiative “Tobacco factory – we talk to” this step.
“This is frightening to observe and confirms us even more in demanding protection for the neighborhood and the law. With the experienced lawyer Dr. Blum, we have therefore filed a complaint against the building permit. Now it’s up to the regional administrative court of Upper Austria.”
Ludlgasse as a possible shortcut for buses and trucks
The residents are demanding an environmental impact assessment and the conversion of Ludlgasse into a safe residential street. “It is easy to foresee that a large proportion of trucks, buses and cars will use Ludlgasse as a shortcut to avoid the chronic traffic jams in the Donaulände. We don’t want to allow that.” like Piovesan.
The damage to the neighborhood with many children would be enormous. It will need more than signs or traffic police regulations. The clear goal remains: to drastically improve the future traffic situation in Ludlgasse by calming down and blocking truck and through traffic.
The Higher Administrative Court of Upper Austria examines as the higher authority
With this objection to the building permit, the regional administrative court of Upper Austria is now examining the project. “Quadrill suffers from severe obesity. The excessive wishes of the investor were poured directly into a development plan. Something like this is called an occasion dedication, which fundamentally contradicts the principle of equality.”
