<h1>ZUG Safe Crossing Lawsuit Appeal Crowdfunding</h1>
<h2>
We (still) need your help to fight for real transparency from the City of
Luxembourg!
</h2>
<p>
The City of Luxembourg has repeatedly denied ZUG (and by extension
the public) access to information relating to the safety of
pedestrian infrastructure. We need your help to cover the legal
costs of challenging this refusal in court.
</p>
<p>
<strong>ZUG has won in court of first instance.</strong> The judgement was delivered on 11
November 2024. Instead of accepting this judgement, the City of Luxembourg
has decided to appeal this decision, further delaying the publication of
documents and evading accountability. Worse, this also generates new costs,
both for the tax payer and for ZUG. <strong>Support us now!</strong>

<h1>Questions & answers</h1>
<h2>Why are we raising funds?</h2>
<p>
ZUG’s “<a href="https://zug.lu/safe-crossing/">Safe Crossing</a>”
project is a crowdsourced map of potentially unsafe pedestrian crossings
on the territory of the City of Luxembourg, because of illegally close
parking spots.
</p>
<p>
Our project got significant press coverage in late 2021 and 2022. The
City of Luxembourg refuted the validity of ZUG’s analysis, and claimed
that it has performed its (secret) analysis of the situation. According
to them, only 32 parking spots were supposed to be problematic (the
number later got revised to 37).
</p>
<p>
ZUG then requested the City of Luxembourg release their analysis by
filing a request based on the
<a href="https://legilux.public.lu/eli/etat/leg/loi/2018/09/14/a883/jo"
>freedom of information law of 2018</a
>. The City of Luxembourg denied the initial request with shaky
arguments, and ZUG escalated the matter to the “Commission d’accès aux
documents” (CAD). In March 2022, The CAD
<a
href="https://cad.gouvernement.lu/dam-assets/avis/demande-art-10/2022/20220224-Avis-R-1-2022-ZUG.pdf"
>ruled in ZUG’s favour</a
>, stating that the City has to release the documents. However, the City
then again confirmed that it refuses to do so.
</p>
<p>
ZUG has no choice but to fight this refusal in court. The
<i>demande de réformation</i> was filed in June 2022.
</p>
<p>
We need your support to cover our legal fees! Our lawyers may invoice us
incrementally as the process evolves, and we may launch multiple rounds
of crowdfunding.
</p>
<p class="bold">
<a href="https://zug.lu/safe-crossing/more.html">The project website</a>
contains extensive information about the “Safe Crossing” project, the
correspondence with the City of Luxembourg, and a press review.
</p>
<h2>How exactly will you use my donation?</h2>
<p>
Your donation will cover our legal fees for our case against the City of
Luxembourg.
</p>
<p>
We will keep this page updated to show the evolution of the crowdfunding
and to inform donors about our legal bills.
</p>
<p>
If donations cover more than our legal fees and we have a surplus, we
will use these funds to start additional legal proceedings (if
applicable and useful), or to finance new projects.
</p>
<p>
ZUG's volunteers or members will not receive any money from ZUG's
crowdfunding (they are donating to the crowdfunding themselves!)
</p>
<h2>Why should I donate? How does this concern me?</h2>
<p>
The City of Luxembourg’s decision to refuse citizens access to
information relating to their safety is problematic on multiple levels.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Good administration:</strong> The administration is handling the
situation in an opaque manner, against the spirit of a modern and
transparent public body. The immediate result is a lack of
accountability: shortcomings resulting from the administration’s
decisions remain secret or unverifiable. None of the data ZUG has
requested is sensitive in any way that could preclude the city from
making the information public. The City of Luxembourg’s arguments for
refusal to provide the documents rely on bad faith and
misinterpretations of applicable legislation.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Equality:</strong> It is unacceptable for the city to hide its
decision-making process when it affects us all. Refusing to communicate
documents turns citizens into subjects. This shows a deep disregard for
a healthy public discourse and a democratic process. This abusive
handling of requests for information doesn't affect only ZUG, but every
citizen and group that will file similar requests in the future, against
public bodies of any type or any political colour.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Pedestrian safety:</strong> In 2019, 54 pedestrians were injured
on the streets of Luxembourg City; 11 were heavily injured. Many of the
injuries happened at pedestrian crossings. ZUG has detected 475
potentially dangerous crossings, and the city has defensively deflected
and shifted blame. We want the sunlight of publication to disinfect the
city’s unacceptable decision-making process to make the streets safer
for all.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Set a precedent:</strong> We hope that the court decision will
be a reference for future information requests that will make it harder
for administrations to shy away from their responsibilities. Courts have
not seen many cases in this field since parliament passed the law in
2018, and we are hoping to set an example.
</p>
