New garage package: 185 parking spaces for Josefstädter - but 300 are missing!

New garage package: 185 parking spaces for Josefstädter - but 300 are missing!

Parking spaces in Josefstadt have become a short resource since the Astoria garage was closed. This garage, which had been available for residents for 89 years, was closed a year ago due to the illness of the owners. The consequences are noticeable: 300 parking spaces simply fell away in a district that already suffers from a lack of parking space. In order to counteract this problem, the "garage package" has now been launched, which creates 185 new parking spaces through a cooperation with various parking garage operators.

District head Martin Fabisch (Greens) commented on these measures: "The offer should help to better use existing capacities that are available in the area." The new parking spaces can be found at several locations in and around the 8th district. These include:

• Stiftgasse 5-9, 7. District: 20 places for permanent parking
• Universitätsstraße, 9th district: 20 places for permanent parking
• Otto-Wagner Platz, 9th district: 100 places for night parkers (Monday to Friday from 5 p.m. to 8:30 a.m., full day)
on weekends)
• Franz Josef Kai 1, 1. District: 15 places for permanent parking
• Schlesingerplatz, 8. District: 15 places for permanent parking
• Pfeilgasse 20, 8. District: 5 places for permanent parking
• Burggasse 85, 7. District: 10 places for permanent parking

The challenges of the search for parking space

Despite these new parking facilities, the parking situation remains tense. 100 places less than before must be compensated for. "The Astoria garage had both long-term and short-term parking spaces and was not always busy. We hope that the 185 new parking spaces will significantly improve the situation," emphasized Fabisch.

Wolfgang Richter, marketing manager of "Wipark" Garagen, points out that there are no locations in the 8th district. Therefore, only parking spaces of adjacent districts can be offered, which may not be the ideal solution for some residents.

For those interested in a new parking space, the costs between 99 and 242 euros are located. Additional conditions apply: only people registered in the Josefstadt can take advantage of this offer and must conclude a new contract.

These developments show how important effective parking lot solutions are for the residents of the Josefstadt in order to meet the needs of drivers. For more information can be found at www.meinbezirk.at .
