Commission has yet to approve a plan for a worker safety directive addressing hazardous substance risks.

In the heart of Pforzheim, a significant debate is unfolding around the Innenstadt-Ost project, an ambitious infrastructure and urban development initiative that could shape the city for the next few decades.

The Green List, one of the city's political factions, has proposed the establishment of a coordinator for daycare place coordination, aiming to streamline the process and ensure a smooth transition during the project's development. However, the identity of the Green List speaker who put forth this proposal remains unclear in the available search results.

Meanwhile, the WiP/Die Linke city councilors are advocating for a referendum on the Innenstadt-Ost project to be held during the 2019 local elections. They believe that such large projects should be decided by the citizens through a referendum, giving them a direct say in the city's future.

To inform the public about the project, various information and participation formats have been employed in different districts. The WiP/Die Linke city councilors are hopeful that the referendum, if it takes place, will stimulate public discourse and contribute to a more informed decision-making process.

In a recent development, a referendum initiative has been founded with the goal of initiating a referendum if the city council approves the project in the December session. The Green List, too, has proposed improvements in various aspects of Pforzheim's city life with three specific proposals, although further details about these proposals have not been disclosed.

The WiP/Die Linke city councilors assume that the referendum will take place during the 2019 local elections, potentially influencing the election campaign. As the city gears up for this significant decision, the public's engagement and participation are crucial in shaping Pforzheim's future.
