    Älvsjöbadet renovation: old pools demolished and rebuilt in stainless steel

    The Real Estate Committee approved a status report on the renovation and development of Älvsjöbadet. The renovation is extensive, as original plans to renovate existing pools were changed to demolition and new construction of stainless steel pools. Vice Chairman Henrik Virro (M) and others emphasized the importance of clear cost transparency, risk management, and future operating costs, and requested the office investigate how external actors can contribute to the bath's services and revenue.

    Älvsjöbadet–Hovstagränd: Grusvägen föreslås bevaras och rustas upp

    A citizen proposal seeks to preserve the gravel road between Älvsjöbadet and Hovstagränd as a cultural and natural environment, including by refurbishing information boards and park benches and preventing it from being paved. Instead, the administration proposes a compacted surface that looks like gravel, along with lighting, signs, and benches to improve safety and accessibility; the district council will consider the response on 24 September 2026.
