Finding a parking spot in Brussels has become, for many, a real obstacle course. Every day, residents drive around for long minutes before being able to park near their homes. Businesses also find that the difficulty of accessing certain neighborhoods discourages some of their clientele.
Parking is not a secondary issue. It directly affects the quality of life of residents, the attractiveness of neighborhoods, and the vitality of local economic activity. I advocate for a pragmatic and balanced approach: guaranteeing residents reasonable access near their homes, and ensuring sufficient turnover in commercial areas.
Areas of Focus
Priority for residents, turnover for businesses
Fine-tuned management of zones, adapted to the local realities of the city center, residential neighborhoods, and commercial areas. Intelligent sharing that meets the real needs of residents, workers, visitors, and businesses.
Park-and-ride facilities and intermodality
Strengthen park-and-ride facilities at the city's entrances, connected to efficient public transport, to reduce pressure on central neighborhoods.
Simplification and digitalization
Simplify rules that have become illegible (zones, schedules, regimes). Better signage of available spaces, digitalization of management tools, and optimization of existing public car parks.
Frequently asked questions
- Is parking really a political priority?
- Yes: it's an essential service that impacts the quality of life of residents and the economic vitality of neighborhoods. A city that becomes inaccessible gradually weakens its commercial fabric.
