Radfahren auf der Kantstraße? Aber bitte nur sicher!

Wir rufen am 15.12.2025 erneut zur Fahrraddemo in der Kantstraße auf, denn: Seit über einem Jahr wird über die Abschaffung des geschützten Radstreifens diskutiert. Wir demonstrieren seitdem monatlich und fordern "Radweg in der Kantstraße erhalten!"

Der geschützte Radstreifen auf der Kantstraße ist in Gefahr. Die Senatsverwaltung plant ihn abzuschaffen, weil die Feuerwehr im Brandfall angeblich nicht genug Platz für ihre Drehleitern auf der Straße haben soll. Doch das ist ein Schnellschuss. Es gibt längst bessere Lösungen, die Radfahrende nicht wieder gefährden und die Sicherheit aller Verkehrsteilnehmer in den Blick nehmen.

Bisher sieht es auf weiten Teilen der Kantstraße so aus:

  • geschützter Radstreifen, parkende Autos, Kfz-Spur.

Daraus möchte die Senatsverwaltung machen:

  • parkende Autos, Bussonderfahrstreifen mit Freigabe für den Radverkehr, Kfz-Spur.

Das Problem:

  • der ungeschützte Radstreifen würde massiv von Kfz missbraucht werden, die in der 2. Reihe parken, wie unsere Stichproben beweisen. Fahrradfahrende müssten sich in den fließenden Kfz-Verkehr einfädeln und würden dadurch sehr gefährdet.

Wir forden stattdessen:

  • geschützter Radstreifen, eine Spur für den ÖPNV mit integrierten Ladezonen, Kfz-Spur.

Petition: Der Radweg auf der Kantstraße muss bleiben!

  • Die Petition wurde am 18. November 2025 mit über 4.500 Unterschriften von Initiatorin Bettina Schinko und unserem Vorsitzenden Eberhard Brodhage an SenMVKU Sprecherin Petra Nelken übergeben.

Wir fordern die zuständige Bezirksverordnetenversammlung und den zuständigen Verkehrsstadtrat auf, die Planung der Senatsverwaltung nicht umzusetzen, sondern zu einer sicheren Lösung für alle zu kommen. Denn wir brauchen Sicherheit für alle und nicht noch mehr Rückschritte.

Seit über einem Jahr demonstrieren wir monatlich für eine sichere Kantstraße und rufen erneut zur Fahrraddemo auf:

Apollo 17 at Shorty Crater

Apollo 17 Crew, NASA

Explanation: Fifty three years ago, in December of 1972, Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt spent about 75 hours on the Moon exploring the Taurus-Littrow valley, while colleague Ronald Evans orbited overhead. This snapshot from another world was taken by Cernan as he and Schmitt roamed the lunar valley's floor. The image shows Schmitt next to the lunar rover parked at the southeast rim of Shorty Crater. That location is near the spot where geologist Schmitt discovered orange lunar soil. The Apollo 17 crew returned with 110 kilograms of rock and soil samples, more than was returned from any of the other lunar landing sites. And for now, Cernan and Schmitt are the last to walk on the Moon.

»Vstopite v svet prihodnosti, kjer meja med človekom in strojem vedno bolj izginja. Predstava se začne kot zabavna pogovorna oddaja, kjer kot gostja nastopa umetna inteligenca, kmalu pa se sprevrže v gledališke prizore, kjer se tehnologija in človečnost prepletata na nepričakovane načine. Ali lahko umetna inteligenca razume, kaj pomeni biti človek, ali pa je to le iluzija? Pridružite se nam na potovanju skozi dialoge, improvizacijo in spraševanje o naši skupni prihodnosti.«
(Chat GPT)

Odkar je svet obnorel ChatGPT, si tudi v vsakdanjem življenju vedno pogosteje zastavljamo vprašanja, ki so še pred kratkim sodila v znanstvenofantastične filme in romane.
Primeri, ko so slike in fotografije, ki jih je generirala umetna inteligenca, premagale človeške stvaritve in zmagale na natečajih kažejo, da se algoritmi do neke mere že kosajo s človekom tudi na področjih, ki so še pred kratkim veljala za izključno človeško domeno.

Ampak kam to pelje? Nas bodo stroji nekoč prehiteli in celo izrinili? Se bomo s pomočjo umetne inteligence sami nadgradili v nekakšne nadljudi, tako da bo razlika med človekom in strojem tako rekoč izginila?

Ali pa bo umetna inteligenca samo izbrisala na milijone služb in še poglobila ekonomske razlike? Predstava V ritmu algoritma preizkuša meje med strojem in umetnikom, med računalniškim razumom in človeško ustvarjalnostjo, pa tudi kako različne oblike umetne inteligence vključiti v neposredno, živo gledališko izkušnjo.

Lahko umetna inteligenca nastopa na odru, čeprav nima telesa?
Ali lahko čustvuje, navdihuje in gane?
In predvsem, je lahko umetna inteligenca tudi zabavna?

Visualization: Near a Black Hole and Disk

Illustration Credit: NASA's GSFC, J. Schnittman & B. Powell; Text: Francis Reddy (U. Maryland, NASA's GSFC)

Explanation: What would it look like to plunge into a monster black hole? This image from a supercomputer visualization shows the entire sky as seen from a simulated camera plunging toward a 4-million-solar-mass black hole, similar to the one at the center of our galaxy. The camera lies about 16 million kilometers from the black hole’s event horizon and is moving inward at 62% the speed of light. Thanks to gravity’s funhouse effects, the starry band of the Milky Way appears both as a compact loop at the top of this view and as a secondary image stretching across the bottom. Move the cursor over the image for additional explanations. Visualizations like this allow astronomers to explore black holes in ways not otherwise possible.

🚨 JOIN OUR UPCOMING OCCUPATION 🚨

🔻 There is no peace without justice. The so-called ceasefire - which “Israel” repeatedly breaks without consequences - changes nothing for us in the West: we have to end our complicity, and do so immediately.

🔻 The UU is still collaborating with those institutions if occupation and settler colonialism who play a key role in executing the genocide and apartheid of Palestinians. This is simply unacceptable.

🔻 To take action against this, we will be liberating one of UU’s buildings from its complicit owners, and turning it into a space where discussion and action for Palestine can flourish.

🔻 Join us in this act of reclamation and resistance: come follow our program, help with some chores, or simply come study there. What is most important is that we are there, and are so together: as long as we are united, we will never be defeated!

M77: Spiral Galaxy with an Active Center

Image Credit: Hubble, NASA, ESA, L. C. Ho, D. Thilker

Explanation: What's happening in the center of nearby spiral galaxy M77? The face-on galaxy lies a mere 47 million light-years away toward the constellation of the Sea Monster (Cetus). At that estimated distance, this gorgeous island universe is about 100 thousand light-years across. Also known as NGC 1068, its compact and very bright core is well studied by astronomers exploring the mysteries of supermassive black holes in active Seyfert galaxies. M77's active core glows bright at x-ray, ultraviolet, visible, infrared, and radio wavelengths. The featured sharp image of M77 was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. The image shows details of the spiral's winding spiral arms as traced by obscuring red dust clouds and blue star clusters, all circling the galaxy's bright white luminous center.
