Civil Service Tribunal Rules on Federal Administrative Court Issue - Decision: Homeowners can act against vehicles on sidewalks
An expert in administrative law, Henning J. Bahr, told the German Press Agency that the claimants have indeed emerged victorious. Bremen City Council must now comply with this ruling. Regrettably, the claimants could not compel the Council to personally attend to their sidewalks. Rather, they can specify the most afflicted areas within a plan.
Parked bicycles with two wheels on the sidewalk have been a contested issue in Bremen for quite some time. Such action is actually forbidden without prior consent, yet in various cities like Bremen, this behavior is still prevalent and authorities remain indifferent. Five property owners from Bremen filed a lawsuit against the city.
