Special use

Approval of street parties, construction fences, containers and the like in the public street space.

The public road traffic area includes roads, parking lots, sidewalks and pedestrian zones throughout the city.

If you would like to use the public traffic area to erect a construction fence, container or similar for a limited period of time, an informal application stating the period, type of use and location and enclosing any site plans is sufficient. If you have any questions, we will be happy to provide information. We will also be happy to provide you with information on the fees for the use of street space by telephone.

The legal basis for the approval of special uses is the municipal special use statute, which also sets out the fees.
