Görlitz and Zgorzelec Amplify Bridge Park Project
Görlitz and Zgorzelec Extend Cross-Border Recreational Space on Bridge - Expanding bridge fleet in Görlitz and Zgorzelec.
ried negotiating the continuation of the popular Bridge Park collaboration between Görlitz, Germany, and its Polish neighbor, Zgorzelec. This mega project, financed by a substantial €3.6 million grant from the Interreg program, aims to revamp and design additional green spaces along the Neisse River. According to the city administration of Görlitz, the agreement for this cross-border initiative will be inked on June 10th, during the annual joint city council meeting.
A glimpse of what's to come: the initial phase on the German side saw enhancements to the city park and the Goerlitz city hall's riverfront. This extension of green open spaces, spanning both historical park areas and fresh, riverbank landscapes on the Neisse, is set to extend southward, extending from Obermuehle to Weinberg.
This Year's Joint City Council Meeting
Since 1991, the city councils of Görlitz and Zgorzelec have been meeting annually. Their location alternates between the two cities. This year, the meeting will take place in Zgorzelec's Kulturhaus. The agenda not only includes the Bridge Park project's progress but also a report on plans to make the cities heat-independent by 2030. One of the primary challenges in achieving this goal is the establishment and maintenance of cross-border technical infrastructures.

The Commission, with its expertise in environmental-science, has been tasked to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation in the context of the Bridge Park project's potential infrastructure upgrades. As we delve deeper into lifestyle-conscious designs for the second phase of the project, we can envision home-and-garden areas within the expanded green spaces, offering a serene retreat for park visitors.
