Gaudia High School’s parking problems came up during the council’s first question hour

The Paavola campus is designed so that car traffic is as minimal as possible. Now parking has become a problem.

Students wait to enter the premises of the new Gaudia high school outside in the sunshine. — There is too little parking space at Gaudia high school in Lahti. The neighboring parking lot is too expensive in the opinion of high school students.

Suurlukio Gaudia’s parking problems and the situation at Villähte school came up during the first questioning session of the Lahti council on Wednesday.

– As an environmental city, we promote sustainable movement, i.e. public transport, walking and cycling.

According to Alho, during the planning phase of the upper secondary school, the city found out how many people can reach the campus area on foot or by public transport. Only a small part needed their own car. Alho also reminded that parking fees are high in the downtown area. However, from Kela you can get support for long trips to school for more than one hundred euros a month.

The city environmental board will discuss the monthly price of the Laaksokatu parking space in the near future.

The council’s next question hour will be held in November.
