• SB020105 – North Bank

  To discuss the detailed plan for the North Bank, the undeveloped plot, and the area's connection to the centre of Hafnarfjörður.

  The Planning and Building Council considers it important that consideration be given to the finishing of the coastal path along the North Shore when preparing the budget for the year 2012/2013. The connection between the North Quay and the city centre area needs to be strengthened beyond its current form, and consideration should be given to implementing a footbridge over the so-called R2 plot in the city centre plan. At the same time, the continuation of the footpath and pedestrian traffic across the car park and onto Fjarðargata must be considered. The Department of Planning and Construction is to be tasked with proposing an implementation for the walking routes. />

  It is then the task of the stage to investigate whether it is possible to add to the public spaces in the current planning at the North Shore.
