Parking Policy Survey Results
In December 2023, the Municipality of Voorschoten conducted a survey to gather residents’ opinions and ideas about parking. Nearly 1,000 residents responded to the survey. This has provided valuable insight into the views and needs of our village.
Councilmember Schokker, in charge of Transportation: “We are grateful for our residents’ active participation in the survey. Their input is essential for developing a parking policy that meets the needs of our village.”
How are we going to park?
Participants generally indicate that they do not experience any parking problems in outlying areas. Residents in the Bloemenwijk neighborhood, for example, on the other hand, largely do face challenges. When asked which type of parking best suits Voorschoten, the majority preferred free parking and/or a blue zone. In a few neighborhoods where parking demand is high, some participants are open to discussing some form of parking regulation. Nearly 70% of survey participants believe that additional or new parking spaces should not come at the expense of public green spaces.
Developing a Parking Policy
“On Wednesday, January 31, we held a productive session with the city council, during which we presented and discussed the results of the survey,” said Alderman Schokker. “With the valuable input from both the city council and residents, we are hard at work drafting a new parking policy. We aim to present and adopt this policy at the city council meeting on July 4, 2024.”
