Today in Rhein-Main: resident parking in the Woogsviertel

Good evening,

space in the cities is scarce.

The voices that only want to make it available to parked cars to a very limited extent are increasing.

As a result, resident parking is becoming more expensive everywhere.

In some places it is only just being introduced, for example in Darmstadt's Woogsviertel, which was announced on Wednesday.

The Hessian state government has meanwhile announced that it will suspend its partnership with the Russian region of Yaroslavl, and the Federal Employment Agency has also announced something.

The overview at the end of the day.

Things are looking up:

That's what Frank Martin, head of the state's regional office for the Federal Employment Agency, said on Wednesday.

The occasion: the presentation of the February figures from his authority.

The regional labor market has "made an impressive recovery," he added.

The indicators such as the unemployment rate, job stocks and employment figures have at least reached the pre-crisis level.

And: There are even values ​​that are better than at the beginning of 2020, he summarizes.

With 163,000 unemployed women and men and a rate of 4.7 percent, the result as of February 14 is not only significantly below the values ​​of the previous year, but "exactly on the February value of 2020," says Martin.

A year ago, the unemployment rate was 5.7 percent.

Now it is almost 35,000 people lower.

In return, the number of employees continued to rise.

There are two sides to this development, the other is less brilliant because it has to do with companies' search for skilled workers.

Patricia Andreae reports in the Rhein-Main-Zeitung.

They stop:

Berger Strasse in Frankfurt is one of those streets with a number of owner-managed shops between bars, restaurants and supermarkets.

Some entrepreneurs are now saying goodbye to their customers, including the owners of a sock store with a legendary selection.

Why these traders stop trading: They told Petra Kirchhoff, who wrote it down for the business section of the Rhein-Main-Zeitung.

Also on offer there: "Auf und zu", the regular overview of the retail trade in the region with openings, closings and relocations.

They get upset:

From April onwards, the parking space in Darmstadt's Woogsviertel will be subject to so-called parking space management: in the residential area close to the city center, parking in public spaces will then cost money and will only be possible for a limited time.

The city is thus complying with the decisions of the magistrate and the city council, said Head of Mobility Michael Kolmer (The Greens) on Wednesday.

And further: There is a good reason for this.

The common but illegal practice of parking on sidewalks must be counteracted because it impedes pedestrians and wheelchair users.

Residents in the Woogsviertel can initially purchase a parking permit for 120 euros per year.

All others must pay the fees at the parking ticket machine.

Jochen Remmert reports that many of them consider the costs to be incurred by local residents to be too high.

In a comment on the topic, he reads something else out of the fee debate: the question of how the concerns of those who depend on a car will be dealt with under the overriding goal of a traffic turnaround.

And

the Frankfurt Higher Regional Court has also rejected an appeal by the Hamburg private bank MMWarburg against a decision that Deutsche Bank does not have to be jointly liable for Warburg tax debts from “Cum-Ex” stock transactions +++ almost 4.2 million overnight stays were counted in Frankfurt in 2021 , 2.5 percent more than 2020, but 65.5 percent less than 2019 +++ the section of Autobahn 3 between Idstein and Limburg-Süd will become a permanent construction site by 2024, and new traffic management will apply there from March 28th.

Stay healthy, be patient on the road, be kind to us

Warm greetings from the editorial team
