That Skeppsbron’s big municipal headache may go towards a final green light during Thursday’s council is clear after Liberal members discussed the issue Monday night.
Axel Darvik, who is the deputy leader of the group and who will apparently be elected to a new city council by the members’ meeting next week, tells DN that he, despite the clear and public criticism he has made of the project of urban development, will vote yes, albeit with a bonfire. .
“I am going to vote with my group. We will support the Alliance and the S agreement as long as the project budget is maintained,” he wrote to DN.
Darvik also writes that “there are uncertainties in the finances of the Parking Company that must be resolved before the shovel can be put down.”
Eva Flyborg, as He has also run for the position of new city councilor-L but is expected to withdraw his candidacy to collaborate with Darvik, he has been very critical of Skeppsbron’s costs.
– I can’t imagine plowing 1,200 million in the mud or the river to build an expensive parking lot. Then you have to come back with a new detailed plan or look at the future of Rosenlundsverket, Flyborg has told GP.

But now he tells DN that he will abstain from voting during the council.
As a main reason, Flyborg says she doesn’t want to risk being accused of being a rebel.
– I live in the area, right next to Skeppsbron. Construction wouldn’t affect me, I live so high and prices will probably go up too. But like I said, I don’t want to risk an argument about discord. That is why I abstain.
Since Flyborg abstains from voting, a surrogate comes into play, and thus the Alliance and the Social Democrats should get votes together to win by 41 to 40. In that case, it would also mean that the Alliance, led by leader M Axel Josefsons leadership, avoids a first fissure on an important issue.
That was in the spring when the Alliance and the Social Democrats bit the bitter apple and agreed to push for a decision on the plan even though it showed a deficit, a blow to taxpayers, of up to 860 million crowns.
DN has previously written about the strong feelings associated with the prestigious Skeppsbron scheme, which has been amassed for 15 years. The criticism has mainly been that the construction of the planned 700 parking spaces in an underground garage would cost around a million per piece.

The Alliance and the Social Democrats have opted for a yes because they say that it is time to do something nice in an attractive area next to the Göta river in the best central location, and add around 450 homes, but also because the alternative worries:
Here are agreements with construction companies that could sue the municipality for breach of contract if the plan is canceled.
-Of course it may be against these costs, but I wonder what those who say no of a realistic alternative have, asked the president of the municipal council Axel Josefson (M).
At the center of the battle for the ship bridge is, as mentioned above, the question of the underground garage. It is intended to be built as a barrier to the river under a pier that will expand 40 meters into the water.
– It must be taken into account that even if the garage is not built, the housing development requires a new dock, so much of the cost that the garage bears will not get away with it anyway, reasons Axel Josefson.
On the side does not have The Green Party has made the automobile issue in Skeppsbron one of its profile problems. Group leader Karin Pleijel has spoken about “the most expensive garage in Sweden”.
This spring, non-parties pushed for a referral call in which, among other things, they referred to the fact that the Gothenburg city parking company would need additional funds to be able to pay for parking.
The referral has been completed and officials recommend adhering to the “minus 860 million plan.” Reference is made to the following: “The Ship Bridge is facing the necessary improvement / assurance of the pier construction and the western pier in the detailed plan of the Ship Bridge is a prerequisite for the planned peninsula in Masthuggskajen. These measures should be implemented independently of other options. “
The updated proposals from Alliance and S now mean that they want to give the administration the task of trying to “push” even more housing to reduce the deficit.
