An Unsafe West-to-East Bicycle Route in Charlottenburg
Dear Parents, Teenagers, and Children,
Please support me in this matter and write to the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf District Assembly:
I really enjoy working as a pediatrician at Theodor-Heuss Platz in beautiful Charlottenburg. May I bring a matter to your attention? I ride my bike to and from the office every day from Mitte. Unfortunately, there is no safe bike route between Tiergarten and Theodor-Heuss Platz. This is very unfortunate.
