Frankfurther does acknowledge that more P+R places are needed in surrounding municipalities. If those places are cheaper than in the city itself, he says, motorists can choose where they want to stand, partly on that basis.
Hundreds of places gone
Since this week, P+R site Zeeburg 1, good for 202 parking spaces, has been Closed. In Noord, parking spaces will also disappear at P+R Noord. The total will increase from 440 places to 220 in 2026. The municipality has also indicated that it will eventually close the P+R at Boven ‘t IJ.
Van der Horst also said that she supports the elimination of the P+R places. She called it ‘not so car-free at all’ to ‘encourage’ people to come to Amsterdam by car.
