Mayor's Resident Forum – Hlíðar

Question:
Just curious about Wednesday's ice rink, which also includes Northern Marsh and Holt/Highlands , or just Sidewalks? I don't see anything about it...mere mention of Side in the message and the subject of a meeting... Note that people in North Mill don't identify with Side, and I know many examples of people not taking on these types of announcements, meeting invitations, etc., and missing out on the whole neighborhood, especially seniors and old-grown residents. It is the responsibility of the city system to keep this clear, always the same/consistent name, and to make sure that the residents receive a clear and correct message, always mentioning the neighborhood with its full name: Hlíðar, Holt and Northern marsh. Note: The most recent name given to the Neighborhood Plan (hung at Kjarvalsstaðir a short time before Christmas) was that the neighborhood was divided into Highlands and Sides with either Neighborhood Plan, and then North Mill belongs to Highlands.... Should Highlands also be covered during this meeting?

Answer:
The residential meeting is for the city part of Hlíðar and is covered by Northern marsh, Holt, Cinderella, Hlíðar and Hlemmur. After the tip, we updated information on our website and launched new social media invitations.

Why is there a home for active addicts next to a second stage home for sober men?

Konaukot is also a short walk away. Could it be enough to build more homes for people with addiction problems in the neighborhood?

What is the thinking behind having these resources in the same neighborhood?

Was an addictive behavior specialist contacted in this planning?

It is true that many of the welfare resources for persons with high and complex needs of service are central to Reykjavik. Some of them are located in the hills, but they are also found in other neighborhoods that are considered central to the city. This is how to form the Konukot, an emergency shelter for women in the hills, while emergency shelters are intended for men in downtown Reykjavik and Granda.

Many of the service users used to be legally resident in other neighbourhoods or municipalities, but instead apply to be centrally located. Themunicipalityelo'gum shall be obliged to provide assistance tothe municipalities when they are unable to solve the problem of si' num's or si 'num's. It is important that resources are close to the individuals who use them, so that they are used to their best advantage. In Reykjavik, the "housing first" philosophy is working on housing as a basic need and as a human right.

Housing is not being built for persons with addiction problems in the hills. However, there are two remedies available to close the door (on Beard Street, a temporary rooming unit, and on Gunnarsbraut, a temporary rooming unit for women). The individuals who have lived on Beard Street will receive alternative housing, while the women who currently live on Gunnarsbraut will move back to the previous housing on Orbit, where repairs are currently taking place.

Transport for Teenage Grade Collective Schools

I am a very accompanying member of a collegiate school at an early childhood level. In this way, students could be offered a greater choice in elective disciplines and a range of faculty and staff expertise could be used for students with special needs. But no one wants their teenager to have to walk 2 km to school, and many people think of driving them. How can that issue be resolved? Free bus trips or a school car that would go through the neighborhood in the morning and one to three trips in the afternoon?

Answer:

The five scenarios addressed by the Task Force in the report provide a quantitative analysis of inter-unit transport. The report states, inter alia: “Vessels need to be rehabilitated, Bus trips should be tailored to serve students coming from these neighborhoods, and the need for other forms of transportation should be explored. It is clear that students have to go through disparate roads and across disparate streets if school districts are to be transformed, for example, with a new “early childhood school.

Need for nursery and primary school places

How does the City of Reykjavik intend to respond to the increasing need for playgrounds and primary places in the neighbourhood? With the arrival of Side End District, demand for slots has never been greater. An adventure city opens on an airport road, but 100 slots aren't enough to respond to demand. The same can be said with primary education, parents are frustrated that the city lacks prospects for building the neighborhood. Rightly so, children should have clear access to education already in their neighbourhoods. Parents will be regularly asked about this.

Answer:

Bridging the gap, the action plan involves a large increase in the number of preschool places, and this increase is most central to the city, which will include parents in the Side District. This year, new kindergartens at Nautholsvegur, Bríetartún, Ármula (Mulaborg), Guard School, Kleppsvegur and Safamyr open, as well as the Laugasol kindergarten in Laugardalur. All in all, these new kindergartens and expansions centrally in the city increase the number of kindergarten places by over 500.

Nursery Affairs

I would like to ask about a kindergarten issue. Now I am single with a 7 month old child and am in school. I'm lucky enough to have a good girl to help me, but I don't expect to have room for the baby in a neighborhood kindergarten until he's 1 1/2 - 2 years old! What is being done about these issues?

Answer:

In accordance with the policy of the majority and the adoption of the City Council of 18 November 2018, the number of preschool places is being significantly increased, with the aim of being able to invite children from 12 months of age to preschool. The adoption of the Bridges the Gap Action Plan assumed that children from 12 months of age would be able to reach school by the end of 2023, but a revised plan is now being finalised that will reach school age a year earlier or as of next autumn, with an increase in places twice as much as previously planned. There is every chance that a child who is 7 months old today will be able to attend kindergarten in the autumn, when a new kindergarten is opening at Bríetartún, Ármula, Safamýr and Nauthól Road, which will be used, among other things, by parents in Side District, as well as a kindergarten opening at Eggert Street and later in the year at Laugasol in Laugardalur for the main tasks to be mentioned.

Adolescent-level reunification and green highlights

According to a recent report by the school and recreation team on the future of school and recreation at East Village School, High School, Side School and Guard School, it seems clear that the city's plan is to combine the high school and/or Side School youth levels with the high school and/or East School youth levels at Guard and/or East School in the near future. How does the City of Reykjavik's green city, car-free lifestyle, sustainable neighbourhoods, and convenience services go within walking distance to the High Neighbourhood's youth and Side to get basic education outside of their neighborhood?

Answer:

It has to be an incentive for students to walk, bike or take the bus to school. Transport needs to be safe and quick. Bus trips need to be reviewed and checked with the Bus for changes in driving routes for duration and more if necessary.

The question is whether the City is willing to formally explore the position of residents in the hills to embark on Residence Road, as one proposal for the first stage of Great Railway in a cane assumes?

Has a decision been made on how many lanes will there be on the Great Lane at Klambratún, after the traffic itself goes up? Asks this question because it is very important to reduce to the maximum the way Great Britain cuts apart the neighbourhood and the Cottage Road. I've heard a lot of people in the hills mention this.

Transport: Answer: Cottage Road in cane: This has not been reviewed. Further efforts have been made to reduce throughput and to reduce the speed of traffic and to make the environment more eco-friendly and safer for pedestrians and cyclists, i.e. in the part of Cottage Road which is east of Roundabout, i.e. owned and managed by the City of Reykjavik.

When does a bridge cross the Great Ladder overpass?

When does a real cycle path along the Arctic/Wadden Sea then come in the direction of the Roundabout?

Answer: Bridge over Great Ladder at Stairway: A bridge over the Great Ridge at Stairwell is not expected. In accordance with the Transportation Charter of the State and the Metropolitan Municipalities, it is expected that Great Lakes will embark on a cane in this area. During this operation, vehicular traffic on the surface is reduced to the point where it will be possible to have a more accessible and safe pedestrian crossing at Ladder Hill.

Transportation Answer: Cycle path along the Orbit/Waterfront: A cycle path along the Ring and Great Lane is expected for the future. Together with the Great Lane being moved into a pedestal, it is expected that bike paths will be made on the surface of the pedestal. Bicycle paths are also expected parallel to a city line after Great Railway, which is expected to arrive around 2030.

When do public restrooms arrive at Klambratún?

This outdoor space attracts an ever-increasing number of people of all ages well into the bright spring and summer evenings, but there are no toilet facilities after closing Kjarvalsstadir. That's not inviting!

Answer: There have been comments in the Neighborhood Planning on work proposals requesting the improvement of the Klambratún public toilets score. It will be broken, and terms will be established under which it will be allowed to install public toilets in this important outdoor area.

Are being executed in the South Side.

Several things have been done well, but they have not been finalized in the lower part of the street. These include green spaces between sidewalks and streets, and clearances to woods down the street. It should also be mentioned that there is no playground near our multi-storey building. We would then like to point out that the care of the street and the surroundings has not been carried out properly. We hope to have some answers during the meeting.

Answer: South slope, planned works nearby: Special activities are not planned in the Southside itself, but indications for the rectification of crops are being addressed on an equal basis, as far as possible. The City of Reykjavik and the National Roads and Traffic Service are working together to prepare waiting stations for buses on the Roundabout at the footbridge.

Planning for Vedurstofuhaed

Good morning. Good morning. It would be good if you could cover the expected layout of the Meteorological Hill, the situation and how the building should be constructed and the volume of construction, especially given the absence of green spaces in the neighbourhood and Meteorological Hill being used extensively by the population. There has also been a lot of talk about the Great Lane/Roundabout in a cane, like an idea of a covered "green area" over the Roundabout. Is this a dream vision or is any of these implemented, what timing is being discussed?

Response from Neighborhood Planning /Master Plan:

Meteorological altitude is defined as a development field in a neighbourhood plan, which means that a separate division will be worked out.

Work on the design of the Meteorological Hill has not begun, but the Master Plan at the time envisaged 150-250 dwellings in the area. The new master plan does not definitively address the number of dwellings, but the building volume in the area will take into account, inter alia, proximity to City Line and environmental impact assessments, including proximity to settlements and greenery areas. The field is in the lowest category according to the policy on the floors of houses (5 floors and under). Ideas have been put forward for a student park in the old meteorological house. Cohabitation for disabled with 5-7 inhabitants. Sharing parking space with the possibility of service and shopping on the ground floor. Future building plot for the expansion of the Utility Cold Water Tank. Improved access between neighborhoods, including across Cottage Road. There is a desire to hold on to disturbed claps, burrows and mosses. Much of the area will remain a green space, smaller Cinderella at MH and the corner of Cottage Road and Roundabout. On the Hlíðar Neighborhood Planning Promotion page, an online consultation is underway, where one of the questions concerns ideas for using the Meteorological Hill.

Bubble pitch hill 41-45 - parking lot

In total, here are 60 apartments in three houses (no. 10, 12 and 14) with 60 parking spaces in the basement and 18 parking spaces outside the houses, including 4 for the disabled. Some residents here have two cars, like me.

Here at Bolstadíð 41-45 there are 66 apartments, also on behalf of the Association of the Elderly,

There are 73 outdoor parking spaces, including 4 for the disabled. It's every day and every night, dozens of things that aren't new. Over the past few weeks, I've counted the cars in the stands and I've seen 35 cars in those 73 stands most of the time. There is something about the fact that the residents of the above-mentioned houses on the East Side park in the parking lot of the houses on the Bolstad hill 41-45. Some of the residents of Buffalo Hills 41 and 45 are unaware of this, and boredom is on the rise. My question is, are these 73 parking spaces, mentioned above, the property of Community House and Residents at Bolshoi 41-45? Heard the city had one of those 73 stands.

TransportReply:

Parking: Buffalo Hill 41-45 The referenced parking spaces are within plot 41-45 of Buffalo Hill. Parking lots north of the East Ridge 14 (9 parking spaces, two of which are for people with reduced mobility, belong to the East Ridge 12-14, but have approaches from the Buffalo Ridge. Agreement with the landowner on the use of the city by the residents is not known.

The question is whether it is true that a building/block should be clawed down between an energy gas station and a fire station in Forest Hill, and if so, I am asked whether these councillors will never take into account the population that will be exposed to reduced views, vastness and declining counter space.
that will be at these endless tribulations. I live in a block in Eski Side next to the gas station and from my larger living room window I have the block below me completely inside me but from the dining room window and balcony I have a little more counter space in the south-west direction which is now planned to be destroyed. Although those of us who live in the capital fully realize that we live in a city. (In fact, in no big city like some people seem to want to mean), I don't see any need to narrow down the population so that it's no longer desirable to live there. Thought these councillors were so concerned with the quality of life of the population, but it seems closer to each other except in the narrowing of streets, it is justified by lower levels of pollution and other things like that that I don't actually think are appropriate because more traffic delays occur as a result of more pollution and longer time it takes to reach one's own home. I find it with all the urgency to be able to use this violence against the population through this kind of decision after one has bought a property where the environment had a great influence on that choice. Yes, I call this violence as it has caused me to feel worried and unwell with all these endless constraints in all areas.

Response from Neighborhood Planning/Master Plan:

The wooded slope is defined as a development area in the neighbourhood plan, which means that a separate partition will be worked out. AR 2040 states about Forest Cover. Mix of offices, services and institutions. Light industry is a household. It is prohibited to operate grocery stores in the area unless explicitly stated in the division plan, unless it is permitted. Forest cover continues to be identified as a mixed occupation area and no residential development is foreseen there at this time, according to AR2040. In the region, therefore, there are opportunities to boost shopping and services to residents in the hills – and to create new employment opportunities. In general, accessibility needs to be improved between Hill, Woodland, Vale area and Cinderella.

What is the policy regarding apartments in garages in Sides/Holes/North Ant?

A. Questions relating to new information?

B. Questions relating to the Convention have already arrived...

There are already many apartments furnished in garages in the neighborhood, as they are presumably the majority if not all are unlicensed - therefore, escape routes from these apartments are not guaranteed - the property is not properly registered and therefore not properly paid for by the property in question - no extra vehicles are expected to accompany these new residents.

ANSWER:

Neighborhood planning for Side assumes that small apartments may be furnished in garages subject to fairly strict equipment, access and scope requirements.

Sort waste into 4 categories at home

Would it not be convenient to increase the number of drop-off centers, where it is geographically possible? Rather than having more bins at every single home. Would it not be suitable to have a sorting center at the end of every street or on city land such as school or preschool parking lots.

Answer

Waste management: A home does not require more bins. If a home has a blue bin, green bin, and a gray bin, the gray one will be replaced by another one that has an organic waste compartment. It will also be possible to combine the blue and green bin in one.

• The legislation on the circular economy adopted by Alþingi last spring is the reason for more types of waste being picked up at the house.

• This legislation makes it compulsory for the classification and disposal of organic kitchen waste, paper, and plastic at home by the outer wall the house.

• Icelandic municipalities have to respond to these changes and add containers for these types of waste, if they were not already in use.

• The task force’s ideas assume that there will be so-called split bins (I. “tvískiptar tunnur”), so we won’t necessarily need to add more bins. This is for the needs of single-family housing, row housing, duplexes, and triplexes.

• Since residents have only had a gray bin, and a maximum of one bin for recycling materials – this adds 1-2 bins.

• The smallest unit, for example, at a single-family residence will be two split bins. Example: a house with 2 gray bins, 1 blue bin, and 1 green bin – there we replace one of the gray bins with a split bin. No increase

• In multi-family housing – brown bins will be added, and the same number of gray bins will be removed if possible.

• Reykjavík City is starting to analyze what's needed for each house, and we will be making the changes one neighborhood at a time. It will always be possible to make changes and we try to meet the needs of residents as much as possible.

• There is a fairly good and dense system of drop-off centers throughout the city.

• In December, 90% of housing was less than 500 meters from a drop-off center and these houses are inhabited by 83% of the population. In January, another drop-off center was added, located in Sigtún.

• We will continue to make the system denser and will end up with a network of smaller drop-off centers within 500 meters of homes. These will have containers for metals, glass, textiles, and returnable packaging

• We will continue to have drop-off centers with containers for paper and plastic. There we aim for 1000 meters from the home. Residents can bring paper and plastic there if the bins at home are full.
