Overview
- Kai Wegner called for a swift, “adequate” rise in resident parking charges to improve city revenues.
- No specific new fee has been proposed, and discussions continue within the Senate and the CDU parliamentary group.
- Transport Senator Ute Bonde has been preparing a broader resident-parking concept beyond pricing.
- Wegner signaled he would raise the permit price first if the comprehensive package cannot be agreed soon.
- Resident permits currently cost €10.20 per year, which reports note does not cover administrative costs, and a 2020 Greens proposal to raise fees was never implemented.
