Parking solution planned in Rossau

Innsbruck on February 18, 2025

Rossau is not only popular as a business location, but also with long-term parkers, as there has been no parking space management for this area to date. The problem here is that the permanent occupation of the public street space across the board means that there is a lack of space for dring infrastructure measures such as footpaths and cycle paths as well as available parking spaces for Rossau users.

What is planned?

These shortcomings have already been addressed several times as part of the Rossau location offensive - both by companies and by the city itself. Since we as the district management are the central point of contact for such concerns, long-term parking immediately became a hot topic for us too. We are delighted that we can now play an active role in developing and implementing a constructive solution:

In a joint process, a concept for future parking management was developed, which was presented to the public at a press conference on 18.2.2025 by City Councillor for Mobility Janine Bex and City Councillor for Economic Affairs Mariella Lutz. A free short-term parking zone is now planned in which parking is limited to a maximum of 180 minutes daily from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. at night. The aim of this measure is to prevent long-term parking on public streets.

"A parking solution in Rossau is one of the most important concerns for us business owners. We very much welcome the fact that, building on the concept of the location offensive, work is being done quickly to implement a good solution. It is particularly positive that we have been involved in this process right from the start," says a delighted company representative Markus Dax, Managing Director of STEKA Werke and member of the Innsbruck City Economic Chamber District Committee.

What happens now?

As part of the investigation and hearing process, a large number of organizations and institutions such as the Chamber of Commerce (WK) and the Chamber of Labour (AK) can submit a statement. Based on this, the political bodies will be consulted and the implementation of the free short-term parking zone is planned from summer 2025. An evaluation of how the situation in Rossau is developing and the feedback from all those involved will then be carried out over the summer.

In order to ensure that the new regulationdruck is implemented, priority checks by the Mobile Monitoring Group (MÜG) are planned after a certain period of time. As the new parking solution in Rossau will result in a shift in long-term parking, measures are being developed in parallel for the other areas where free parking is still possible for an unlimited period of time. This primarily concerns the districts of Mühlau/Arzl, the Olympic Village and Kranebitten. The Innsbruck city government attaches great importance to detailed examination and gradual implementation.
