All agenda items

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes that Stockholm strengthen the city’s 31 safety points through more and better geographically distributed locations, clearer signage, adequate staffing and equipment, and more information for residents. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city already has plans for staffing, equipment, training and exercises, but wants to await government inquiries and forthcoming legislation before establishing additional safety points.

Jan Jönsson and Isabel Smedberg-Palmqvist propose that the city identify more suitable locations for street art in the outer districts, in consultation with district councils, businesses and residents. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city already has a strategy for mural paintings and several ongoing initiatives, including in Snösätra, Tensta, Farsta and Husby; the Traffic Committee also has SEK 60 million to activate public squares during 2024–2026.

The motion proposes that the City of Stockholm support and cooperate on building the Eastern Link, a planned road tunnel between Frihamnen and western Nacka that would connect the Northern and Southern Links. Supporters argue that the tunnel could reduce through traffic, congestion, and travel times, while the City Executive Office and the Traffic Committee warn of increased car traffic, high costs, and the risk of displacing other approved public transport projects; the City Executive Board therefore proposes that the motion be answered without approval.

The motion proposes that Stockholm introduce a building permit robot and investigate which other simple permits, such as permits for outdoor dining areas and use of public spaces, could be automated. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city is already developing new digital systems and automated processes; a new integrated system for traffic permits is planned for implementation in 2026.

The motion authors Gabriel Kroon, Mats Johnsson and Tapani Juntunen (Sweden Democrats) propose halting the planning and detailed development plan for up to 140 homes at Klubbensborgsbacken in Mälarhöjden. They argue that the construction could affect woodland, Brådstupsparken, stormwater management, natural values and the character of the area; the city administrations instead propose continuing the planning process under the usual rules, first compiling and considering views received during the consultation.

The motion by Björn Ljung and André Nilsson (L) proposes that detailed development plan fees be divided and paid at different milestones, particularly to help smaller developers manage cash flow and make housing construction more stable during an economic downturn. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city already invoices continuously throughout the planning process and considers planning fees to make up only a small part of developers’ costs.

The City Council will consider a motion from Gabriel Kroon and Mats Johnsson (Sweden Democrats) to halt housing planning on the privately owned Lågbron 1 property in Långbroparken. The proposed detailed development plan includes 12 terraced houses and a new café building, while the motion’s authors want to preserve the existing house, greenhouse, and garden; the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered by referring to the ongoing planning process.

The motion proposes that Stockholm create an education centre, Viva Lyceum Health and Social Care, where upper-secondary students and adult learners could study together, for example at Kungsholmen’s Västra Gymnasium. It also proposes that the city fully or partly pay for driving licences for students who pass the tests and obtain a vocational qualification; however, the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city has already introduced driving-licence support and considers that a merger would create organisational and educational problems.

A motion proposes that SISAB, Stockholm’s school property company, should cover the costs of replacing schools’ access-control systems, so that security does not depend on each school’s finances. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as the issue is already being examined in the ongoing review of the agreement between SISAB and the Education Committee; other costs, such as ventilation and minor construction measures, are not generally proposed to be shifted from the schools.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that the City of Stockholm survey all schoolyards and renovate them so that students, parents and staff with different abilities can use them. The Education Committee is positive but emphasizes that assessing around 140–150 schoolyards requires resources, and the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered addressed with reference to the city’s ongoing work; since 2015, around five schoolyards per year have been rebuilt, and 13 have been renovated during the current term.

The motion proposes that Stockholm place a vocational programme at one or more popular upper-secondary schools in the inner city with an academic profile, develop a strategy to make vocational programmes more attractive, and provide further training for career and study counsellors together with the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SKR). The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city is already implementing similar measures and has started a sales and service programme at Bromma Upper-Secondary School, where all places are filled.

The motion proposes developing the amphitheater in Rålambshovsparken into a year-round meeting place, for example with a café, dance floor, and ice rink, to make the area livelier and safer. The city is already working on clearing bushes, renovations, lighting, a dance floor, and an ice rink, but café operations require interest from businesses and permits; the City Executive Board therefore proposes that the motion be considered answered.

The motion proposes that the City of Stockholm conduct its own investigation into its responsibility for the Eolshäll boys’ home, where many boys were abused during the 1970s–1990s, and examine financial compensation and other support for those still living. Instead, the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered by referring to previous investigations, as the City Executive Office and the Social Affairs Committee believe that responsibility and compensation should be investigated nationally by the state.

The motion proposes that Stockholm establish a research hub where social workers and researchers work more closely together, and that social interventions be evaluated more clearly and linked more closely to research. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city already collaborates with universities and wants to develop more flexible forms of research, evaluation, and evidence-based work in social services.

The motion proposes giving Stockholm City employees the opportunity to take leave from their jobs to become foster families, with the city regularly informing them about this option. The proposal is being considered against the shortage of foster families; the City Executive Office and several committees also point to costs and risks to staffing, while the city is already planning expanded recruitment and support for foster families.

Jonas Naddebo and Svante Linusson (Centre Party) propose that Stockholm investigate a small-scale pilot project with self-driving vehicles in cooperation with Waymo. The project would examine safety, climate benefits and congestion, but the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered by referring to the city’s ongoing research, networks and discussions; several referral bodies also want to await more knowledge and the authorities’ investigations.

The motion proposes that the city prioritize the renovation and maintenance of buildings of cultural and historical significance, review budget priorities, and investigate the creation of a heritage fund. The aim is to ensure that associations, such as Södergården and organizations operating at Kristinehov Manor, are not forced to leave because of sharply increased rents following renovations; instead, the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered addressed by referring to the city’s ongoing work on a new rent model.

The City Council will consider a proposal to investigate a 2–3-kilometre multi-use track for skiing in winter and, for example, roller skiing, cycling and parasports in summer. The track is proposed to be traffic-free, lit, relatively flat and close to public transport, with possible locations at Högdalstopparna, Sjöängens BP or another suitable site; the Sports Administration also believes Ågesta outdoor recreation area should be examined, while Sjöängens BP is considered less suitable. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city is already discussing the needs, location and financing, but no decision to build the track is proposed.

Hanna Wistrand (L) proposes that the city investigate restart support for sports clubs affected when facilities are closed for renovations, and develop a long-term plan for more sports grounds and temporary premises. The City Executive Office and the Sports Committee refer to existing rent support, compensation times, and relocation solutions, and the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered rather than result in new assignments.

André Nilsson (L) proposes that the city investigate the possibility of creating an artificial surf wave at Slussen for recreation, tourism, and events. Previous studies indicate that it may be technically feasible, but safety, environmental impact, costs, and effects on water regulation and boat traffic require further investigation; the remaining technical study is estimated to cost SEK 700,000–1,000,000.
