Finding a parking space in Brussels has, for many, become a real obstacle course. Every day, residents drive around for long minutes before being able to park near their homes. Shopkeepers also note that the difficulty of access to certain districts discourages a portion 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.
Lines of work
Priority for residents, turnover for businesses
Fine-tuned management of zones, adapted to the local realities of the city center, residential areas, and commercial zones. Intelligent sharing that meets the real needs of residents, workers, visitors, and shopkeepers.
Park and ride facilities and intermodality
Strengthen park and ride facilities at the city entrances, connected to efficient public transport, to reduce pressure on central districts.
Simplification and digitalization
Simplify rules that have become illegible (zones, timetables, regimes). Better signage of available spaces, digitalization of management tools, and optimization of existing public parking facilities.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is parking really a political priority?
- Yes: it is an essential service that conditions the quality of life of residents and the economic vitality of neighborhoods. A city that becomes inaccessible gradually weakens its commercial fabric.
