Majority rejected reopening of Nørre Allé

The By- og Planudvalget considered a response on Wednesday, 19 August 2026, to a council motion from Venstre, Liberal Alliance, Danmarksdemokraterne and Dansk Folkeparti on reopening Nørre Allé to ordinary car traffic.

The proposal was to abolish the bus gate. Teknik og Miljø recommended that the proposal not be adopted. The issue was instead to be included in the ongoing evaluation of the traffic consequences following the transformation of Vesterbro Torv.

A majority on the udvalg (committee) adopted the recommendation in line with the magistrat's (municipal executive) recommendation.

"A majority on the committee could adopt it" (translated from Danish) (Aarhus Kommune – dagsorden · item)

Kristian Sommer, Anette Poulsen, Liv Gro Jensen, Albert Rosenkrantz Conradsen and Isabella Heilmann could adopt the recommendation. Gert Bjerregaard and Jakob Søgaard Clausen could not.
