Resident Meeting: Street and Park Plans for Etu-Töölö and Taka-Töölö Presented

The City of Helsinki presents street and park plans for Etu-Töölö and Taka-Töölö at a resident meeting. The plans cover Hietaniemenkatu between Hietakannaksentie and Mechelininkatu, Hietakannaksentie, and Merikannontie, and are developed as part of the Infrastructure Programme Helsinki project.

Planning is based on current zoning plans and the Munkkiniemi Railway master plan. Cycle paths are planned for Hietaniemenkatu, Hietakannaksentie, Merikannontie, and Merikannonranta. Merikannontie will become one-way for car traffic between Kesäkatu and Rajasaarentie.

These changes will reduce through-traffic in the area, improving road safety. As cyclists move to the roadway, pedestrians will have more space.
