On July 7th, we had scheduled our first neighbourhood meeting. On that occasion, we discussed the following topics:
- Project to install a night shelter for homeless people: Why we don't believe this to be the right move for the neighbourhood as it is, and what are our possible recourses.
- Empty buildings: How to support investment in the area in order to solve this issue.
- Traffic safety: Traffic is dense and too fast, especially near the school. The pedestrian lights in Eecher Plaz are not adapted to the reality.
- Lack of community space: The neighbourhood would greatly benefit from having a dedicated space where the residents could meet.
- The police station and bancomat that used to be rue de Mühlenbach have been removed, and now the closest ones are in Limperstberg.
- The neighbourhood architectural heritage.
We then discussed what the next steps should be in order to make the Eich area better:
- Clarify the current state of affairs of Eecherplaz buildings
- Find a common long-term vision for Eecherplaz with the Ville de Luxembourg
- Implement quick solutions to halt the decline of the neighbourhood while planning takes place
