Zebra strip security: train also gets right in second instance
« The Center Fir Urban Rechegketkeet has finally been right »: This is how the collective’s press release begins on Wednesday evening. Zug also received right in front of the Administrative Court in second instance, this in the long -term discussion about security for pedestrian crossings.
In November 2024, Zug was awarded in the first instance. The court had stated that the city of Luxembourg should make documents accessible to the collective regarding the pedestrian crossings. The city of Luxembourg then followed.
The press release states that the municipality must now disclose « the documents requested by Zug – including the analysis of the city on pedestrian crossings and the associated internal memo ». In addition, the database with street markings is also open to the public, « even if the insight can only take place on site for purely technical reasons ».
The history
475 dangerous zebra crossing found Zug in an analysis almost four years ago, of a total of 1,787 in the area of the city of Luxembourg. In its own investigation, the municipality had counted 37, which were not legally compliant with the Code de la Route. Zug then wanted to see the analysis of the city of Luxembourg. However, this was repeatedly denied. In 2022, the commission d’Ccès aux documents (CAD) was commissioned and announced that the documents of the city of Luxembourg could be communicated. But the documents still didn’t get the documents. So they decided to go the way to the administrative court.
In its message, the collective also responds to the key statements of the judgment. « If a document is quoted in a public session by a public official (in this case Patrick Goldschmidt), it leaves the internal area and becomes public. » The argument of the city of Luxembourg that the database could not be openly allocated due to errors and too frequent updates was rejected. The court also notes that « disorder in data is not a reason for secrecy ».
Zug vs. City of Luxembourg: « We were never conflict »
According to the Zug, the security concerns of the city of Luxembourg were also invalidated by the court: the requested data were not security -relevant. Mayor Lydie Polfer (DP) had At the end of April this year This argument also mentioned again.
At the end of the communication it says: « Zug is currently waiting for the official handover of the documents. »
