Ehdotus
Nowadays Itäkeskus area is regarded by residents as dysfunctional and even rather dangerous. Creating a recreation zone (possibly with Asukastalo/Community Centre) for kids and adults at the crossroads of Turunlinnantie and Korsholmantie will definitely improve well-being of area residents, engage them in more active social life and promote outdoor recreation.
According to the information from the City experts, parking areas are private property, so it is not possible to put playgrounds or sports equipment there. Moreover, the City has recognized the need for a playground in Itäkeskus, but because of the metro and car traffic noise, it has been very difficult to find a suitable area near the big streets.
Therefore, we agree with the suggestion of the City to create a small outdoor sports area in the middle of the parking lot (there is a small triangle shaped greenspace with grass and trees. That area ( showen at the attatchement 1) is the only one in that direction where the noise level remains somehow reasonable (45-50 dB). The area could include a variety of outdoor sports equipment depending on the size.
Also, it would be great if it's possible to improve the situation with bicycle lanes, e.g. if you ride from Kontula to Itäkeskus, you need to ride on a narrow path for pedestrians sharing it with pedestrians, runners, and other bicycles. Some of those paths require repairing and are in terrible condition.
Budgeting: advice from the City experts

Hello,
Apologies that these comments have taken a while. We discussed in OmaStadi teemaraksa –workshop about your proposal and I mentioned that the parking areas are private property so it is not possible to put playground- or sports equipment in the area. However, in the middle of the parking areas there is a small triangle shaped greenspace with grass and trees that is available.
Because of the loudness of metro and car traffic, it is unfortunately not possible to build a children’s playground. Instead, a small outdoor sports area is possible. The area could take a few sports equipment depending on the size. I have contacted the city planner about the Puhos area and turns out it will be renewed but not until at least 10 years. This means that it is possible for the outdoor sports equipment to stay in place for appropriate time.
When you have made these changes to the proposal description, it is ready for budget calculation.
Kind regards,
