Borgå's Svinö parking fee failed; funds are unaccounted

yle.fi (Swedish)

The voluntary parking fee program on Svinö, initiated by the city of Borgå to support the nature area, has seemingly been abandoned, with funds collected and their use unclear. The parking meter is damaged, and the city struggles to account for the funds collected, raising questions about the program's effectiveness. Only 371.62 euros have been collected, primarily in the first two years, and used for basic maintenance. The initiative, launched in June 2019, aimed to preserve Svinö's unique nature. The future of the program is uncertain, with the city considering whether to revitalize it.
