Norrmalm

On April 21, 2026, the Real Estate Committee decided to reject the Real Estate Department's proposal, meaning a full-size football pitch in Bellevue Park will not be investigated due to the park's location within the National City Park, its cultural heritage values, and technical difficulties. Hansi Karppinen (L) dissented, proposing that the motion be approved and a broader investigation of alternative sites in the local area, including Haga BP, be conducted to address the need for sports facilities for children and youth in Vasastan and Norrmalm.

The Committee for the Elderly decided not to extend the agreement with Vardaga Silverhemmen AB for the operation of Linnégården care home.

The decision followed a recommendation from the Norra innerstaden City District Committee, which desired the activity to be run by the municipality.

The Board of S:t Erik Markutveckling AB proposed that the Group Board of Stockholms Stadshus AB and the City Council approve the acquisition of all shares in Nya Lagerbolaget Y AB, which includes the property Magasin 5 in Frihamnen.

This will be accomplished by forming two new companies – a holding company and a subsidiary to which Magasin 5 will be transferred – before the subsidiary's shares are sold to S:t Erik Markutveckling AB. The aim is for Ports of Stockholm AB to focus on its port operations, while S:t Erik Markutveckling AB takes over the building's management, as outlined in the City Council's budget decision for 2026.

Leif Söderström (SD) proposed widening Klarastrandsleden to three lanes with a reversible middle lane and adding a separate bike path, aiming to reduce queues and improve accessibility. However, the proposal was rejected because the City Executive Board and several committees argued that widening wouldn't solve traffic problems due to bottlenecks elsewhere, contradicting the city's goal to reduce car traffic and prioritize walking, cycling, and public transport, all while incurring very high costs.

Liberals propose transforming Odenplan into a more inviting "Piazza Odenplan" with more greenery, commerce, and activities, suggesting Upplandsgatan between Odenplan and Gustav Vasa Church be closed to traffic to connect the areas. The City Executive Office believes a major square transformation should wait until the Roslagsbanan extension to City is complete around 2040, but the Traffic Office plans to add more greenery as early as summer 2026.

Moderate politician Hanna Werner proposed renovating the vacant and dilapidated Vanadis Hotel for new uses, preferably for associations. The city administration responded that similar work is already underway, with plans to refurbish the old hotel premises into sports facilities for changing rooms, table tennis, and martial arts, for example.

They also plan an international theater festival, investigate continued actor training in Husby and the start of a writing program in Järva, and relocate Materialmagasinet to new premises.

This agenda item concerns the approval of Stockholms Stadshus AB's purchase of negative emissions from Stockholm Exergi's BECCS facility. Stockholm Exergi is building a carbon capture plant at Värtaverket, where captured CO2 will be permanently stored under the seabed off Bergen, Norway. The purchase, which could amount to a maximum of SEK 120 million annually between 2029 and 2043, aims to help the City of Stockholm achieve its climate goals of being climate-positive by 2030 and fossil-free by 2040 at the latest, by balancing hard-to-reduce emissions.

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.

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.

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 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.
