YIMBY has just submitted an opinion on the Program for Housing at Godhemsberget. The opinion is a result of discussions on the forum. The program looks on the whole good but we have of course provided many suggestions for improvement. Much of our focus is on creating better links, string and "urban fabric". Sorry mean programföslaget to svårigeter arrange car parking spaces may lead to fewer new homes than the 400 that are planned. We suggest that a pilot project, the issue of housing separated from car parking issue in this program. Then even can (and should) be the number of planned new homes in the program increase. You can support our opinion using the form on the City Planning Office website btob or by mailing sbk@sbk.goteborg.se. Last Tuesday, 26 November.
YIMBY much looking forward to the plans for more settlements in this area that is strategically located between Stigbergstorget, Chapman btob Square, Mariaplan and Linnéplatsen. A further strong potential link exists to the south, via Ekedalsgatan that in the future, hopefully surrounded by dense urban, and upon a new string behind Castle btob Forest Colony Högsbo.
The program raised the possibility of arranging a car park until a critical issue for residential development in the program area. It says explicitly that the car park need governs how many homes could be built. YIMBY considers the number of dwellings must be decoupled from the residential parking issue. We advocate that parking norms as subsidies Carpark abolished and that such programs may have to be a pilot for the housing development without the requirement for car parking (but with the possibility of car parking if the developer deems it appropriate). This can and should be the number of proposed residential units in the program increased. Parking along the streets for availability, freight and landing to be met by the public btob where possible and a good supply of vacancies is controlled by appropriate parking fee. We also appreciated that there is opportunity for 450 new on-street parking places in the area.
YIMBY appreciate when the City Planning consider a larger area in a context. We question the generally "frimärksplanering" with small local plans initiated by developers' interests and advocate some variant of the town plan with advance planning. The review of the area's potential with such a variety of services close by is good, but it should be complemented with an analysis of key routes and nodes that connect the program area to the rest of the city, then it is important that the building contributes to a coherent "urban fabric".
YIMBY supports the plan for a gradual expansion of the area and the time being the natural area on the mountain top undeveloped. However, it is of great strategic importance to the proposed settlement does not block future possibilities of building on the hill, where the hilly terrain with steep slopes on the west and east severely limits btob the possible street stretches.
For pedestrians and cyclists is a dense network of great importance. The older buildings in the area fits well with these goals, while houses on Haråsgatan and Dahlströmsgatan stand out as purely biltillvända residential enclaves with poor links to the surroundings. btob The program talks about how nature on the mountain shall be made more accessible, but it is noteworthy that no mention of how the major shortcomings of pedestrian and bicycle access in the northern part be rectified. Among others, "one way streets" for pedestrians to be absorbed and attractive walking routes to public transport creates - often with a street-like configuration.
The program claimed that it is impossible btob to make the houses on the mountain accessible. It would theoretically be possible to arrange btob with a long and slightly btob inclined ramp, but could perhaps be expensive, slow and impractical. Elevators may then be a better option, which is something that should be investigated at program level.
In the following, more detailed information about - how important routes and nodes can be strengthened and utilized - how the proposed settlement can avoid to prevent future exploitation btob - how improved pedestrian and cycle links to the surrounding area and public transport can be created, - how the various parts can be made tillgänga for those with reduced mobility and any other - how the proposals for program areas can be improved in detail, and - how car parking btob should and can be resolved.
