Pankow Residents Launch Legal Action to Halt Kastanienallee Truck Expansion

Residents demand fresh noise and vibration assessments before any construction in a letter that forces the district office to respond by mid-June.

Overview

  • Residents of Rosenthal formally served a cease-and-desist notice on the Pankow district office to block the expansion.
  • The Bürgerinitiative Kastanienallee argues that the current noise and vibration measurements are outdated and unreliable.
  • They demand new environmental studies to confirm that no significant health or environmental hazards will arise from heavier truck traffic.
  • Under the proposal, Kastanienallee would be widened to allow additional heavy trucks along the busy thoroughfare.
  • If the district office does not provide a binding commitment to pause the project by mid-June, residents plan to pursue further legal action.
