OmaStadi is Helsinki's way of implementing participatory budgeting. In OmaStadi, you can submit proposals and, through voting, decide how the city uses €10 million. A new round starts in the autumn of 2025, and you can submit proposals on this website from September 22nd to October 5th, 2025. The city will implement the proposals that receive the most votes.

Itäinen saaristoreitti laajenee – OmaStadi-​hanke tuo helsinkiläisille uusia ulkoilusaaria sekä pääsyn Itä-​Helsingistä keskustaan vesiteitse

Itäinen saaristoreitti laajenee 1. kesäkuuta alkaen. Uusi lähtö- ja päätepiste sijaitsee Kruununhaassa Meritullintorilla ja lisäksi alus pysähtyy jatkossa Läntisellä Neitsytsaarella, Malkasaarella ja Kotiluodossa, joihin on aiemmin päässyt ainoastaan omalla vesikulkuneuvolla. Reitin laajentumisen mahdollistaa kulttuurin ja vapaa-ajan toimialan OmaStadi-hanke.

Nyt valmistunut peruskorjaus toteutettiin rakennuksen rakennushistoriallista arvoa kunnioittaen.

Cleaning up Mätäjoki

Mätäjoki restoration, Kannelmäki-Lassila section. The area starting from Urkupillintie is filled with shrubbery that mostly covers the river. I propose clearing the riverbank, as this would contribute a great deal to the attractiveness of the area.

Accessible Helsinki archipelago even without a boat

It would be great if people without boats could also enjoy the maritime Helsinki. Due to this, the charter boat service should be extended to other islands. The islands should also offer opportunities for camping with a tent.
