The Liberals proposed developing Piazza Odenplan into a greener, more inviting space, including exploring a partial closure of Upplandsgatan to create a continuous square. The City Executive Office deems this infeasible until the Roslagsbanan extension is complete, though the Traffic Office plans to add more greenery to the square by summer 2026.

Liberal council members proposed Stockholm expand its summer pedestrian streets and squares, ensuring public transport access and resident/business dialogue. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, as the city is already continuously adding summer pedestrian streets (9 new ones by summer 2026, totaling 64 locations), and already works to ensure public transport accessibility and dialogue with affected parties.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed that the Traffic Committee be tasked with creating an information campaign about stroke using the city's public advertising spaces, in collaboration with other relevant committees, citing positive results from a similar campaign in Kalmar County. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that healthcare is primarily the responsibility of the regions, although the city could assist with information channels if requested by Region Stockholm.

Claes Nyberg and Kristin Jacobsson (Center Party) proposed a mental health screening program in Stockholm's compulsory schools, offering all 7th-grade students a mandatory meeting with a school counselor to detect and support early mental ill-health. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, citing existing preventative work by school health services, but Jonas Naddebo (C) dissents, arguing current routines are insufficient.

Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed to the city council that Stockholm should more actively promote green roofs, suggesting they become standard for new city-built properties, existing city properties be inventoried for installation, and a strategy be developed to assist private owners. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion for green roofs as a default, arguing that sustainable urban development measures should instead be chosen based on a comprehensive assessment of each site's specific conditions.

Center Party members proposed that Stockholm City introduce interactive, real-time snow removal maps with open API access to help residents plan winter travel and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion as it stands, citing concerns about data ownership, quality, and potential impacts on snowplow operators' work environment.

Hanna Wistrand (L) proposed an investigation into developing Högdalstopparna into an attractive outdoor recreation area with improved accessibility, including a multi-use track, and to explore public transport options to the site. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by noting that several committees and administrations are already developing Högdalstopparna, partly through a detailed plan, and that public transport is primarily a regional matter.

Councilors Claes Nyberg and Ismail Ali (C) proposed investigating the need for a language school for F-3 students with severe language disorders, aiming to improve their primary school readiness and provide continuity after language preschool, with speech therapists working alongside teachers. However, the Executive Board suggests rejecting this proposal, stating that existing schools already offer adequate support, making a new municipal language school unnecessary.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed Stockholm implement an action plan for "grey zone children"—students with cognitive difficulties who struggle to meet school goals but don't qualify for adapted schooling. He argued that these students receive good support in compulsory school but often lack it in upper secondary school, leading to dropouts and social exclusion. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing the city's existing, structured, and continuously developing work for students requiring special support, deeming a separate action plan unnecessary.

Leif Söderström (SD) moved to widen Klarastrandsleden to three lanes, including a reversible middle lane, and to investigate a separate parallel cycle path, aiming to reduce congestion and improve accessibility. However, the City Executive Board proposes rejecting the motion, arguing that more lanes conflict with the goal of reducing car traffic, would merely shift bottlenecks rather than solve traffic problems, and would incur significant costs.

Councilor Andréa Hedin (M) proposed that Stockholm introduce "SAO jobs" (study-motivating work-life orientation), a new year-long employment model for secondary school students combining school with work experience, to be funded by replacing 1,000 summer jobs in 2026. The City Executive Board, however, recommends rejecting the reduction of summer jobs, stating that SAO jobs will already be piloted in 2026 and cater to a different target group than summer jobs.

Jonas Naddebo and Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that the city promptly investigate and create new secondary school places in northern Bromma, for example by renovating Bällstalundsskolan or expanding Mariehällsskolan, arguing that current students travel too far, violating proximity principles. However, the Municipal Board proposes rejecting the motion, stating that the need for secondary school places in the area is already met and the total number of students in Bromma is expected to decrease significantly.

Hanna Werner (M) proposed that the City Council instruct the Real Estate Committee to investigate the condition of Vanadis Hotell and, with the Sports Committee, explore alternative uses for the empty premises, unconstrained by the current zoning plan. The majority of committees and the presenting City Commissioner recommend rejecting the motion, citing ongoing renovation and development work for sports purposes, with empty spaces planned for sports activities like changing rooms, table tennis, dance, or martial arts. The Moderates, in a reservation, propose approving the motion to also consider external actors such as gyms and cafes.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the city investigate ways to limit high school transfers, arguing that frequent changes during the semester create student anxiety, disrupt their studies, and complicate school planning. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion by stating there's no legal basis for such restrictions, and the matter should instead be addressed by the government.

Liberal party members propose protecting Fagersjöskogen as a nature reserve to preserve its ecological value and biodiversity, while securing it as a green space for Söderort residents. The City Executive Board suggests responding that the city is already investigating the conditions for a nature reserve in Fagersjöskogen, and is developing a vision for urban development in Fagersjö and Rågsveds Allé.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed the Culture Committee investigate year-round or extended large-scale projections on Stockholm City Hall, similar to Nobel Week Lights. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, citing the City Hall's high cultural value making a permanent installation unsuitable, alongside significant investment and operating costs.

The Liberals have proposed that the City of Stockholm develop a strategy to promote sustainable construction, with a focus on wood and other low-impact materials, and review its land allocation policy to prioritize such projects. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the existing climate action plan and environmental program already provide a comprehensive strategy to reduce the construction sector's climate impact, and further documents could create confusion.

Councilman Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed resuming the planning for Södertäljevägen, aiming to transform it into a green urban street, extend the inner city, and enable up to 7,700 new homes by decking over Essingeleden and the SL bus depot. The City Executive Board suggests responding that the project is paused due to financial difficulties, but they share the ambition to develop the area and planning will resume when conditions improve.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate introducing specialized humanities classes, such as philosophy and history, in high schools to offer depth for students with particular interest, mirroring existing options in math and science. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting this motion, deeming such an investigation unnecessary as the matter can be addressed through ongoing curriculum development efforts.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the city revise its cooperation agreement with SISAB, making the company responsible for the costs of schools' work environment and safety, such as access control systems, ventilation, and soundproofing, as school safety is currently impacted by their finances. The City Executive Board suggests answering the motion, agreeing on the importance of electronic access systems, but is hesitant to broadly transfer all financial responsibility for work environment and safety due to potential rent increases and reduced autonomy for schools.
