In a motion, Dennis Wedin (M) proposed enhancing Stockholm's cycling safety through improved interaction between traffic modes, including establishing an accessibility council, better signage, improved inner- and outer-city cycling routes with better maintenance, and 10,000 new bike parking spaces. However, the City Executive Office and the Traffic Committee believe the city is already addressing these issues through existing processes and recommend that the motion be answered accordingly.

A motion was submitted to the municipal council proposing a permanent northbound lane for car traffic on Skanstullsbron. The motion, by Therese Lindström (M), argues that the rebuilding of Skansbron has caused queues and congestion, requiring a permanent solution to improve accessibility for all traffic types. Several bodies, including the City Management Office and the Traffic Committee, advise against the proposal, believing an additional car lane wouldn't improve flow due to capacity limits at the Skanstull intersection and would worsen safety and accessibility for thousands of daily cyclists and pedestrians. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered in line with these statements, meaning the proposal should not be implemented.
Councilor Therese Lindström (M) proposed that Stockholm introduce more mobile tree planters with seating in areas where direct ground planting isn't feasible, and that the Traffic Committee develop guidelines for their design and maintenance. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that similar initiatives are already underway, including a substantial 71 million SEK tree investment planned for 2026.
Jan Jönsson (L) proposed a discussion on how the City of Stockholm can strengthen the conditions for the city's culture and nightlife, including through improved dialogue between city units, the police, and stakeholders, a review of regulations, and the protection of venues for culture and nightlife in urban planning. The City Executive Office responded that the city is already addressing these issues through existing strategies and initiatives to facilitate businesses, streamline permit processes, and integrate a cultural perspective into urban development. Jan Jönsson (L) dissented, arguing that the response was too complacent and did not fully align with the industry's description of the reality.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that all city football pitches should have toilets, and larger facilities also changing rooms, to improve safety and increase girls' participation in football. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by stating that work is already underway to add these facilities, and the possibility of co-utilizing school premises is being investigated.
The Moderates, via Christofer Fjellner, propose that the City Executive Board urgently address Kista's negative development concerning company relocations, safety, and attractiveness, requesting crisis talks, a status report, and a concrete crisis plan. The City Executive Board responds that extensive work is already underway to transform Kista into a vibrant mixed-use city with more housing, establishing a property development company and a Kista Advisory Board to attract new establishments and enhance the area's appeal.
This report summarizes received cases and protocols between April 30 and May 6, 2026. New cases include a notification regarding the review of the local development plan for Vallen in western Ursvik, Sundbyberg, and proposals for altered municipal road maintenance areas for Stockholm Municipality. Additionally, several revised exploitation decisions will be processed, concerning projects such as Blackebergs Torg, Vårbergsvägen within Fokus Skärholmen, and Projekt Herbariet.
The Sports Committee is to address a letter from Anna Cederschiöld et al. (M), Mikael Peterson (C), and Hanna Wistrand (L) regarding the Swedish Sports Confederation's facility support, which claims Stockholm's sports clubs risk losing SEK 22 million due to bureaucratic processes. The Sports Administration, however, states the primary obstacle is clubs' difficulty meeting the Confederation's ownership or long-term usage requirements, as city facilities are often booked short-term. The Administration is working to support clubs and has developed a contract template to facilitate applications.
Mikael Peterson (C), Hanna Wistrand (L), and Anna Cederschiöld et al. (M) have inquired about the city's plans to ensure access to football pitches in Norra innerstaden once the temporary Haga BP is no longer available. The Sports Department is actively seeking new sports areas, including investigating artificial turf at Gärdet sports field to increase booking hours and exploring a temporary artificial turf pitch in Norra Djurgårdsstaden, while also engaging in dialogue with affected clubs.
The Sports Committee will review a proposal to approve a service statement responding to a letter from Moderate, Centre, and Liberal politicians. The politicians requested a full account of how swimming times are allocated between municipal swimming schools and swimming clubs in all of Stockholm's swimming pools. The Sports Administration has produced statistics showing that time for clubs in instruction pools increased by 44% between 2020 and 2025, while the city's swimming school increased by 6%; for exercise pools, club time increased by 5.4% and the city's swimming school by 2% during the same period.
The City Council is set to review a proposal concerning the renovation and adaptation of Sandsborgsbadet in Dalen 20. Detailed documents outlining the investigation decision are expected to be circulated later, with this matter being proposed by the Sports Department.
The Sports Committee is proposed to grant Mossen Hockey AB 572,000 SEK for 2026. This support will compensate Mossen Hockey AB for lost revenue during the off-season, stemming from the City Council's decision to implement a year-round zero-fee policy for children's and youth activities in municipal sports facilities. This ensures that children and young people in IK Göta Bromma can continue to train at no cost in the HCL Hall, mirroring other ice rinks in Stockholm.
The Sports Committee is to approve its first quarterly report for 2026, including an annual forecast, before submitting it to the City Executive Board. The report indicates that the committee expects to meet the City of Stockholm's strategic goals for 2026, partly through efforts to increase physical activity among children and young people, promote swimming proficiency, and improve accessibility to sports facilities for people with disabilities. It also highlights the underrepresentation of girls and women in sports and exercise, particularly among teenagers, and emphasizes the need for more targeted initiatives in socioeconomically vulnerable areas like Skärholmen, Järva, and Hässelby-Vällingby.
The Sports Committee will be informed of decisions made by delegation regarding ice rink opening and closing times for 2026, temporary appointments during the department head's vacation, and special economic initiatives during the first four months of 2026. These initiatives include support for associations such as Fryshuset Basket, RFSL Stockholm, and several riding clubs for child and youth activities, recreation leaders, and various programs.
The Real Estate Committee is asked to approve an update on the construction of the Gränsberget sports hall in Kärrtorp, next to Skarpnäck School. The start of production for this full-sized hall, intended for school and club use, has been postponed from Q2 2025 to Q2 2026 due to an extended building permit and new procurement. Consequently, the hall is now expected to be operational in Q4 2027, a year later than originally planned.
The Real Estate Committee will review a status report on the construction of Bäverdalen Sports Hall in Rågsved. This new sports hall, designed to accommodate two basketball courts and a roller derby track, is now expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2027, delayed from the third quarter of 2026, because the initial contractor tender exceeded the budget, necessitating a new procurement process.
The Real Estate Committee is set to review a status report for Akallahallen, a new sports hall in Akalla, with completion expected by December 2027. The facility will feature six changing rooms, an exercise hall, and seating for 150 spectators. This construction is part of a larger project including an upgrade of Stenhagens BP to create a comprehensive indoor and outdoor sports complex, with groundworks anticipated to begin in May 2026.
The Real Estate Department proposes that the Real Estate Committee approve continued planning for a new sports facility at Johannesdals BP. This new facility, featuring a granule-free artificial turf field, school sports areas, and restrooms, would replace the existing one to enable housing construction on the current site. The project, expected to cost under 50 million SEK with an implementation decision in Q4 2026, aims to promote equal opportunities and a vibrant sports and club life in Vårberg.
The Real Estate Committee and the Culture Committee are to make a policy decision regarding an extensive technical upgrade of Hägerstensåsen Community Centre. The project includes a new roof with solar cells, window renovation, and upgrades to plumbing and electrical systems, as well as adapting premises for the Kulturskolan and the Hägerstensåsen Community Centre Association. All tenants, including home care services which are seeking new premises, will need to be evacuated during the renovation, which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2029.
The Real Estate Department proposes an investigation into the renovation and adaptation of Sandsborgsbadet in Dalen, property 20. This investigative decision entails a closer look at how the bath can be improved.
