Eastern Link Road: City Council's Opposition Confirmed

Nike Örbrink (KD) questioned Finance Commissioner Karin Wanngård (S) regarding the City of Stockholm's stance on the Eastern Link road project, noting a signed declaration of intent yet apparent city opposition. Wanngård confirmed the declaration was a government requirement for public transport funding, not an endorsement of the road. She stated the red-green majority remains opposed due to concerns about profitability, increased emissions, and potential displacement of public transport, adding the city will democratically work to prevent its construction.
