Improving Vuosaari’s transverse recreational connection

Plan

The transverse recreational connection will be improved by additional signs and resting places, opening the views at intersections, and re-surfacing part of the routes. In addition, a connection will be marked from the nature trail between Isonmastontie and Kallvikintie to Merikorttitie over Vanttikallio where the terrain allows.

Objective he transversal recreational connection aims to promote the creation of Helsinki’s uniform green and recreational network (VISTRA 2016, theme map Recreation and green network 2050 in the master plan). In Vuosaari, in particular, there is a need to strengthen the transverse lines of the recreational route network forming in the north-south direction. In addition, the project aims to create a comfortable and attractive environment. Creating a green connection in an increasingly densified urban structure requires planting trees, and good signs. Benches will be placed at sufficient intervals ction he transverse recreational connection will be improved by additional signs and resting places, opening the views at intersections and re-surfacing part of the routes. In addition, a connection will be marked from the nature trail between Isonmastontie and Kallvikintie to Merikorttitie over Vanttikallio where the terrain allows. Vanttikallio’s nature and landscape values will be considered in the route planning. The route will be implemented as a maximum 1.5 m wide path surfaced with crushed stone fines or sawdust and, where necessary, a pier or duckboard structure to accommodate demanding terrain forms.
