The motion proposes that the City of Stockholm support the construction of the Eastern Link, a planned car tunnel between Frihamnen and Nacka that would connect the Southern and Northern Links.

This includes the procurement of debt collection and payment exchange services, proposals for stricter control of waste management, SAO jobs for young people, a life science strategy for Stockholm-Uppsala, an action plan for an age-friendly city, a revised food strategy, and the development of Piazza Odenplan.

Councilor Hanna Werner (M) proposed developing Odenplan into a greener, more vibrant, and safer city square with more trees and improved bicycle parking. The City Executive Office and the Traffic Committee noted that improvement work is already underway and the area is affected by the new subway line, due in 2028, which currently limits new interventions on the square itself. However, the bike garage will be expanded with more e-bike spaces and bike boxes, an initiative already budgeted for 2026.

The Centre Party proposed the city map all avenues and old trees, create a preservation and development plan, and identify locations for new avenues, including transforming Karlbergsvägen into a green esplanade. The Executive Board responded that the city is already working on tree protection and planting, developing a new tree policy, and has hired a tree strategist, but found planting more trees on Karlbergsvägen difficult due to underground infrastructure.

The Board of Stockholm Port Company Ltd. approved a letter of intent outlining principles for vessel traffic at Värtapiren and Frihamnspiren, land use in southern Norra Djurgårdsstaden, and land transfer and electrification of Frihamnspiren. This decision prioritizes port operations at Värtapiren and urban development with housing around Frihamnspiren. The agreement also aims to reduce emissions and improve air quality through enhanced shore power supply.

The City Planning Administration has drafted a new detailed development plan for the Snöklockan 4 property in Vasastaden, near Odenplan, aiming to construct a courtyard building with approximately 6 new small rental apartments and preserve the existing culturally significant building. The plan also includes upgrading the inner courtyard for improved amenity and stormwater management. The public is invited to provide feedback on the proposal between March 10 and April 20, 2026, with a consultation meeting scheduled for March 24, 2026, at Tekniska Nämndhuset.

This is a notification regarding the minutes from the Norra Innerstaden management group meeting on March 18, 2026. The minutes included discussions on work environment and health, such as women's health in the 45-60 age group, and a smoke-damaged preschool in Norra Innerstaden. The cleaning agreement for the district and the handling of LGBTQI+ days in preschools were also discussed.

The Disability Council for Norra innerstaden and Kungsholmen reported accessibility issues at Nova preschool, where a steep staircase and an unsafe goods lift hinder disabled children.

This is a notification concerning the Norra innerstaden City District Administration's mail list for the period of February 5 to March 11, 2026.

This item reports on decisions made by officials between February 5 and March 11, 2026, including individual rulings on children's right to preschool placement, extended hours, or continuing at their current preschool after moving.

The City District Council for Norra Innerstaden has approved a monthly financial report projecting a surplus of SEK 25.2 million for 2026. While elderly care is expected to generate a SEK 45 million surplus despite staffing challenges in residential and home care due to full-time initiatives and lost government grants, deficits are foreseen in areas like administrative overhead, financial assistance, and labor market measures, partly due to increased maintenance.

Two Center Party politicians propose closing Lövängsgatan to traffic at Storängstorget in Norra Djurgårdsstaden during the summer to create a summer square. This aims to reduce accident risks for children moving between outdoor seating and a fountain, and to facilitate cultural activities under the "Vibrant Stockholm" concept. The administration views the proposal positively for creating a more pleasant environment, but suggests the traffic office first investigate traffic safety at the location.

Sergej Salnikov (SD) proposed a pilot project for a "citizen budget" in Stockholm, giving residents direct influence over a portion of the municipal budget for local projects, a proposal supported by the Norra innerstaden district committee. However, the administration believes such a pilot project is unnecessary, as the city has already been working with citizen budgets for ten years, utilizing an established methodology based on SKR's model, a process also outlined in the city's 2026 budget.

The City District Council for Norra Innerstaden has commented on a proposed action plan for children's rights and influence in Stockholm up to 2030. While generally supportive, the Council believes the plan needs clarification, especially regarding children's participation and influence, to emphasize children as competent individuals with their own rights. They also requested more concrete implementation guidelines and a focus not only on long-term consequences of vulnerable situations, but also on children's immediate health. The City Executive Board proposes approving the action plan to strengthen the city's work on children's rights, combat discrimination, and promote equal living conditions for all children in Stockholm.

The City of Stockholm is implementing a "Functional Program for Preschool Premises" to ensure consistent high quality and functionality for all new and renovated preschools.

They also propose changing "department" to "unit" for greater flexibility in premises usage.

The City Planning Administration has proposed an amendment to the detailed development plan for properties Repslagaren 31 and Östermalm 1:13 near Grev Turegatan and Humlegårdsgatan. This change would formally approve existing commercial operations, such as shops and restaurants, in the basement level. The amendment aims to correct an oversight in a previous 2022 plan that failed to include the basement's commercial use.

The City Planning Administration proposes a detailed development plan for the Ängsbotten 6 property and others in Hjorthagen, Norra Djurgårdsstaden, which would create approximately 420 new homes, including care homes and apartments for people with disabilities, in 6-9 story multi-family buildings. The plan also includes new commercial spaces for retail and a new 9,000 square meter park. While generally positive, the Norra Innerstaden City District Administration emphasizes the need for a planned noise barrier and further investigation into the park's design due to noise and air pollution concerns.

Linnéa Sandström Lange (L) has resigned from her positions on the Norra Innerstaden District Council and the Social Delegation. Alexander Zejlon (L) has been elected to fill her seat until the end of 2026. The Social Delegation makes decisions on individual social services cases, including those under the Social Services Act and the Care of Young Persons Act.

The Social Welfare Committee in Stockholm has decided which city social services employees are authorized to request immediate police assistance in urgent cases, specifically for interventions under LVM, LVU, and the law on placing children in protective housing. District committees, such as Norra innerstaden, are now urged to make similar decisions to ensure social services have the necessary authority to act quickly when children or adults require acute protection or care.

The Norra Innerstaden District Council proposes that five members, in addition to the chairman, be authorized to make urgent decisions regarding the care of children and adults, and placement in sheltered housing. This applies to cases under the LVU, LVM, the Sheltered Housing Act, and the Social Services Act, allowing for quick action when a regular council meeting cannot be awaited. This authorization would be valid from April 1st to December 31st, 2026.
