Enskede-Årsta-Vantör

The City of Stockholm is revising its cemetery regulations, clarifying the distinction between full, limited, and no burial rights. Key changes include the elimination of "pre-purchasing" grave sites and restricting burial in Sandsborg Cemetery's ash grove to Stockholm residents only (with an exception for spouses). These rules will be reviewed annually to ensure they remain current.

The City of Stockholm has decided to cancel the project to develop the area around Gullmarsplan and Nynäsvägen in Johanneshov, as a financially sustainable solution for the urban transformation, particularly the costly covering of Nynäsvägen, could not be found. This results in 22.4 million SEK already spent on investigations being written off as fruitless costs. Despite the cancellation, the city will continue its collaboration with Region Stockholm regarding Gullmarsplan's role as a public transport hub.

The City of Stockholm plans to lease the property De Gamlas Vänner 7 in Enskede to serve as a communal evacuation residence for the city's care homes, due to extensive renovation needs in existing facilities. The first year's lease will cost SEK 9.8 million, with an additional SEK 16.8 million allocated for adapting the premises into a care home with 66 apartments. The initial evacuation, from Kungsholmen district council, is anticipated for spring 2027.

The Stockholm Social Services Committee proposes a pilot project for "flexible social support" without individual needs assessment. Residents aged 15 and over in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör, Järva, Skarpnäck, and Södermalm can receive practical assistance with things like forms, official contacts, and digital tools, up to five times. This aims to make social services more accessible and preventative, in line with the new social services law.

The Stockholm City Council is set to designate Majroskogen as a nature reserve. This approximately 58.6-hectare area, located between Svedmyra, Tallkrogen, Gubbängen, Hökarängen, Stureby, and Bandhagen, will be protected to preserve its biodiversity and secure a vital recreational space for residents. The decision includes specific rules regarding activities such as lighting fires and dog walking, along with a management plan to maintain and enhance its natural value.

The Stockholm Ski Association has proposed the construction of asphalt tracks for roller skiing and para-sports at Ågesta recreation area and Högdalstopparna, citing a significant and growing need due to the lack of such facilities and the unsafe training environments currently used. The Sports Administration views Högdalstopparna as a potentially suitable location for a multi-purpose asphalt track and plans further investigation, while Ågesta is deemed unsuitable due to potential negative impacts on other users.

The Sports Committee proposes relocating Träffstugan, a recreation center for children and youth with disabilities, from Sköndal to larger premises in Högdalen by early 2027, as their current location will be converted into housing. The new facility at Önskehemsgatan 34 requires adaptations, which Familjebostäder will manage, and the proposed 20-year lease has an estimated annual rent of SEK 2 million.

This agenda covers several referrals from Stockholm City Hall AB and its subsidiaries concerning waste management, property formation, and building permit matters. Notably, the new sorting and food waste facility in Högdalen, utilizing NIR technology for automated sorting, has been completed. This facility is expected to reduce the city's greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 32,800 tons of CO2 equivalents annually and facilitate food waste collection for households. Additionally, a positive response has been given to a national classification structure for building cases under the Planning and Building Act, while emphasizing the need for controlled and gradual implementation.

Emelie Wassermann (SD) has questioned City Planning and Sports Commissioner Jan Valeskog (S) regarding the closure of Svedmyrabadet in September 2024 and the lack of a promised replacement swimming facility. Concerns are further raised as Sandsborgsbadet, previously mentioned as an alternative, also appears to face extensive renovations. Wassermann seeks clarity on the decision timeline for Svedmyrabadet's renovation, plans for a replacement facility, and the unfulfilled promises to bathers.

Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposed that the City Executive Board take coordinated responsibility for making Fagersjöviken in Magelungen more attractive for water recreation, citing its deterioration and lack of clear plans for improvement. The Board, however, recommended rejecting the motion, stating that the city already undertakes extensive and coordinated efforts to improve both water quality and recreational opportunities throughout Magelungen, including Fagersjöviken, and that no further directive is needed, while emphasizing the lake's ecological balance. Naddebo was not satisfied and dissented, arguing for more specific interventions in Fagersjöviken and the need for external funding.

Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposes transforming Johanneshovsvägen into a green boulevard with reduced speed limits and fewer lanes. This would free up space for approximately 1045 new homes, wider pedestrian and bicycle paths, and a new square at Lindes light rail station, aiming to create a greener and more vibrant area. The Centre Party's proposal aligns with the city's existing plans for Årstastråket but seeks a more extensive urban development than currently planned.

Councilman Dennis Wedin (M) proposes that Stockholm Globe Arena Fastigheter AB, in collaboration with Hammarby IF and Djurgårdens IF, install new security solutions at the arenas before the 2025 football season. This aims to prevent disturbances and match interruptions, which became more common in 2024. While the City Executive Office believes technical solutions can enhance safety, they also emphasize the need for a cultural shift among spectators and note that new technology to stop pyrotechnics isn't yet available.

Dennis Wedin (M) has questioned Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) about resuming the investigation into building over the Nynäsvägen highway. The road, used by up to 76,000 vehicles daily, causes noise, exhaust fumes, and divides the Gamla Enskede and Johanneshov districts. A previous investigation was halted in 2025 due to financial reasons, but Wedin claims there were no concrete financial calculations proving the project was too expensive.

Stockholm Water and Waste (SVOA) reports on 43 major investment projects, totaling nearly SEK 37 billion, concerning water, sewage, and waste management. The report summarizes the progress of these projects, including budget management, timelines, and how unforeseen events are handled. For instance, a new sorting facility in Högdalen is now operational, and work on Stockholm's future sewage treatment (SFA) and water supply (SFV) is moving forward, including a new reservoir in Tensta.

Stockholm Exergi Tunnlar AB seeks permission to continue dewatering the Örbytunneln in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör, preventing it from flooding and halting essential operations. The application is deemed to pose a low risk to buildings, nature, or cultural heritage sites, and the company is investigating environmental impacts.

A motion by Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed that the City Executive Board take coordinated responsibility for developing Fagersjöviken in Magelungen into an attractive area for water recreation, such as swimming and paddling, to counteract overgrowth and unclear responsibilities. The Board responded that the city is already addressing Magelungen's improvement through a local action program covering both nature and recreation, thus fulfilling the motion's intent within existing work. Several committees, including the Sports Committee and the Environment and Health Protection Committee, concurred, emphasizing the need to balance recreation with preserving Magelungen's high ecological value.

Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposes transforming Johanneshovsvägen in Årsta from a four-lane road into a green, two-lane boulevard, making space for approximately 1045 new homes, shops, restaurants, and wider pedestrian and cycle paths. He also suggests a green corridor and a new public square to enhance social cohesion. The city agrees with the vision for development and new housing but states that these plans are already part of the ongoing "Årstastråket" phase 3 project, which includes about 1500 new homes, thus deeming additional directives unnecessary.

Two SD politicians aim to halt the construction of an LSS residential home in Lammholmen, citing unsuitable ground conditions, the risk of destroying an old-growth forest, and highway noise. However, the city and several committees deem the residence necessary due to a significant shortage of LSS places and assert that all concerns will be thoroughly investigated during the detailed planning process.

Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that the City of Stockholm work to make football safer and preserve the supporter culture. This would involve Stockholm Globe Arena Fastigheter AB installing new security solutions at the arenas, in cooperation with Hammarby IF and Djurgårdens IF, before the 2025 season to prevent disturbances and match interruptions. The City Executive Board considers the motion answered, referring to ongoing work on technical solutions and a broader dialogue between the city, the police, and sports federations to promote a positive supporter culture and counter violence and extremism in the stands.

Dennis Wedin (M) has questioned Traffic Commissioner Lars Strömgren (MP) regarding the halted investigation into covering Nynäsvägen. This busy road, used daily by up to 76,000 vehicles, causes significant noise and air pollution in Gamla Enskede and Johanneshov. Wedin argues that the previous decision to stop the investigation due to economic reasons lacks supporting calculations and questions why no cost-benefit analysis has been presented and how southern Stockholm's traffic will be improved to mitigate Nynäsvägen's impact on residents.
