Proposed Initiative: Commission Unveils Fresh Undertaking

In the heart of Hesse, Gießen city council has announced an exciting initiative to breathe life into the city's traffic lights. The council is now inviting residents to submit their creative and imaginative ideas for new traffic light themes that will decorate the facility ring.

This project, while not specifying the exact number of themes to be selected, promises to bring a fresh and vibrant touch to the cityscape. The themes could range from local culture and tradition, ecological messages, children and animal motifs, science and education, to seasonal and festive themes.

Gießen, a city steeped in history and cultural significance, offers a rich tapestry of potential themes. Suggestions could draw inspiration from local personalities, the university, or typical Hessian themes. However, as no specific information about the submitted themes has been released yet, it remains to be seen which themes will ultimately be chosen.

The city council has set some guidelines for the proposed themes. They must be unambiguously designed for clear understanding and recognition, distinguishable between "Stop" and "Go" signals, and easily recognizable to everyone, regardless of background or language. Only themes that resemble a person are typically allowed, and the designs should not be confusing or difficult to interpret.

Citizens can submit their suggestions on the citizen participation platform giessen-direct.de. The ideas can be liked or commented on by all interested parties on the online platform. The popularity of the submitted themes will be considered, but the city does not provide details about the criteria for theme selection beyond popularity and feasibility.

For queries, the office of citizen participation, local agenda 21, and climate protection can be contacted at buergerbe_ti_li_gung@gies_sen.de or 0641 306-2116.

This initiative is a testament to Gießen's commitment to active participation and its welcoming attitude towards interesting suggestions. So, if you have a unique idea for a traffic light theme, now's your chance to make it a reality in Gießen. The deadline for submissions is yet to be announced, so keep an eye on the city's updates for more information.
