Friedrichstadt is fighting against a lack of parking: New 500 parking spaces in sight!

In Dresden's Friedrichstadt, the lights are on for parking problems: residents and patients of the city's clinic are finding it increasingly difficult to find a parking space. This has now brought the city council into action, which has decided to build a new parking garage. This step comes at the request of the CDU and FDP/FB in order to alleviate the growing parking pressure and improve the situation for everyone involved. Loud Day24 The parking garage is planned on Schäferstrasse and is intended to relieve the burden on local people.

Up to 500 new parking spaces are to be created on the existing wasteland, which could bring a noticeable improvement in the parking situation for the hospital's patients, relatives, doctors and nursing staff. In this context, Mirko Göhler from the CDU emphasizes the urgency of the matter. “It is not only important for the patients themselves, relatives and medical staff also often struggle with the lack of parking space,” he describes the current situation.

The details of the project

Resident parking spaces could be set up after the parking garage is put into operation, which would further alleviate the situation. The construction mayor Stephan Kühn (Greens) is already preparing the relevant templates to push this plan forward.
