stands for the Ybbstal a name rename What the ÖVP Mayor
of Ybbsitz, Waidhofen / Ybbs and perform Lunz / See now, is unique in the history of Austria
: Instead of a relatively low cost -
immediate costs of 100,000 euros for the rehabilitation of Sch & # 228; the
on the railway line that caused the flooding last year - to build a healthy Ybbstalbahn
present and implement an attractive tourism and advertising concept
for railway wheel, they run a blindw & # 252;
transparent campaign of destruction against their own path.
Schilda Valley instead Ybbs Valley! A brief chronology of events:
• In 2008, broke Governor Erwin Pröll in a commemorative
still fights for the Ybbstalbahn (see attached Festschrift - Figure 1)
• A little later came LH-Stv. Wolfgang Sobotka still stronger than the opponent
• Ybbstalbahn on
The ÖVP Mayor was the beginning of 2009 set by the country under pressure
- including financial - to act against the web. • In
ÖVP circles was made open to the "red car" mood, even
the saying "the train is the red hatching (= Social Democratic Party voters) expelled from the valley
. Propaganda against single SPÖ Mayor Gratzer
in the valley (Fig. 2)
• On 14 1. 2010 Decides Pröll to assume, among other things, the Ybbstalbahn
of the ÖBB. "We do not take the paths to them zuzusperren
" by LR Heuras became a household word.
• To only take on "dead cars" that had to ÖBB
with the active support of the frantic NÖVOG still the route before handover on 12/12/2010
shut down. The implementation of the necessary procedure
is considered by legal experts as "immoral".
• Large posters of the Lower Austrian People's Party on the roadside at the end of 2010
foist but the ÖBB and the Federal Government to blame for setting the Ybbstalbahn
(see Figure 3)
• Provincial Heuras be in October 2009, the stop signs at the crossings
remove media attention (see Figure 4) and signals -
without legal basis - the stop for the train
• ÖVP Mayor can be demonstratively with bikes on the train tracks
map to make it clear that they follow the state line
"away by train" (see Figure 5)
• Photo opportunity with Governor Erwin Pröll, EUR 8.7 million for the immediately
suits the bike path (see Figure 6) but does not imply the mere 4.6 million for rail and bike path parallel
consider .
Conclusion: a politically enforced from above and forced recruitment of
track. With the might of the demolition of the railway and construction of the bike path
amount expended both a tourist train along with parallel bike path and thus arise
a 10-fold higher to bring economic benefits to the valley.
Basically, to welcome the construction of bicycle paths, not only as a token gesture to
wanton destruction of railway infrastructure.
Successful tourism areas use a combination of rail and wheel
or boat & bike because nationally attractive and highly effective. Bike paths alone
there are many who serve primarily the residents and bring
therefore of little commercial!
positive example Pinzgaubahn: After the 2005 flood caused by
attitude of the Pinzgauer local train between Mittersill and Krimml
immediately - despite replacement rail traffic with bicycle trailers - 50% of the 40,000 cyclists
broken away. The tourism communities near
the Krimml waterfalls complained the burglary. Since reopening in 2010, the
cycling is booming again but also train tourism
beyond the cyclist with an increase of 40%. The history of
Ybbstalbahn is comparable with that of the local railway Pinzgauer
: Both cars were always at risk from flooding damage
, the Pinzgauer local train was ten years of the setting
threatened.
The main difference, the Salzburg State Government acted
concluded with the Pinzgauer mayors through vision, the federal government level and the ÖBB
to the 26 million euros for reconstruction between Mittersill and Krimml
destroyed by flood from railway tracks. The initially skeptical
population - including the Pinzgauer local train was attractive to the population not
more - was convinced. The rising numbers of passengers
speak for themselves.
The question arises: Who or what is the extermination campaign of the Lower Austrian
State Government in association with the Austrian People's Party pledged to stop
mayors to? A suspension of
agreement in principle between the federal and the state of Lower Austria for breach of contract
would be the only option. But before that seems
Transport Minister Doris Bures shrink. Anyone who wants to apply his
with the powerful Governor Erwin Pröll, who is likely to be supported by
Vice Chancellor and Finance Minister Josef Pröll.
Probhahn gives the Ybbs Valley is already the title of "Schilda Valley" and
but still hopes for a belated Christmas miracle (Press Release
Probahn AUSTRIA, 28.12.10).
