The MyStreet digital platform is entering a new operational phase, expanding its scope from a simple public space monitoring tool to a comprehensive infrastructure for urban organization. This evolution, linked to the new legislation implementing the European AI Act, focuses on accessibility and transparency.
New Registry for PWD and Accessibility
At the heart of these changes is the creation of the Electronic Registry for Access Points and Parking Spaces for People with Disabilities (PWD). This registry will operate under the Ministry of Digital Governance and will be directly linked to MyStreet and the National Road Safety Observatory.
Through this infrastructure, municipalities across the country are required to register data regarding:
- PWD parking spaces
- Ramps and pedestrian crossings
- Public building entry points
- Other autonomous mobility facilities
Active Citizenship and Legality Monitoring
The platform maintains and strengthens its function for monitoring commercial seating and public space concessions. Citizens can use an interactive map to view the boundaries of legal permits and submit reports for unauthorized occupations directly from their mobile devices. These reports are automatically forwarded to municipalities for evaluation.
Furthermore, MyStreet is expanding into electromobility, providing real-time updates on the availability and operational status of public electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
"Our goal is for the citizen not to be a mere spectator, but an active participant in ensuring legality and transparency in our neighborhoods," stated the Minister of Digital Governance, Dimitris Papastergiou.
This approach follows the MyCoast model, transferring the expertise of protecting public space from beaches to the urban fabric, aiming to create more functional and fair cities.
