Summary of the March 3 City Group meeting

Summary after City Group meeting 3/3-2023

  • GAIS provides summer parking on the gravel field. Lisen checks with Erling if we need to seek any permits for this.
  • Discussion about what we want to do with the sidewalk on Brahegatan this year. Should we broaden it like last year? We ask around and make suggestions/opinions to those responsible at Jönköping municipality.
  • We continue to lie to Jönköping municipality about bike racks that we can’t seem to get rid of.
  • Information from Jönköping municipality that they are organizing spring flowers this year but then the flowers are gone. during the rest of the year. Lisen has emailed the municipality if they leave the pots on the square so we can plant ourselves and if we can instead get the money for the spring flowers and thus plant perennial plants with the help of Ebe plant (which lasts over spring and summer). Watering of pots will have to be handled by ourselves.

  • Easter market on April 1
     more like an Easter shopping day with local shops.
    – Opening hours 10-17 (those who can)
    – Lisen creates an event on facebook and feeds information as it happens (you can send it over if there is something special you want to include).
    – We organize an egg hunt by placing eggs in shop windows, Karin Sjögren makes a competition stall. All participants get a candy bar, we also have 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize that the shops can sponsor.
