Referendum on Paid Parking Costs at Least Half a Million Euros, City Council Votes Thursday
The Rotterdam city council will vote on a request for a referendum regarding paid parking, which could cost the municipality at least 500,000 euros to organize. Leefbaar Rotterdam initiated the proposal, arguing against the expansion of paid parking zones that would affect most of the city. If approved, the final decision on the parking plan would be delayed until after the vote, potentially costing the city millions in lost revenue. The coalition government opposes the referendum but holds only a one-seat majority, making the outcome uncertain.
