Implementation

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.

Making the experiences provided by the sea and the archipelago more accessible to Helsinki residents by developing archipelago boat connections. A pier in Lauttasaari would be preferable. Final destinations to be determined later.

The recreational trail around Pikku Huopalahti invites people to move when enriched with a few activities. A birdwatching tower on the beach by the reeds. A picnic park and electricity connection for events along the trail.

Installing waste bins in every area of Vuosaari (e.g. Rastila, Ramsinniemi, Aurinkolahti, Itä-Vuosaari and Pohjois-Vuosaari), including bird-proof ones.

Barbecuing is a good way to cook food and spend time with loved ones. Barbecue sites also increase the time people spend outdoors. Let us bring barbecuing opportunities to South Helsinki.

The pupils of Laajasalo Comprehensive School want to boost the school’s yards and break activities. This could be achieved by acquiring spider swings, a calming down bubble, ‘duck, duck, goose’ equipment, paddle game and basketball equipment and plenty of other things.

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.

Himalayan balsam to be weeded out, grit guards to the runoff sewers of artificial turf fields, embankments to the borders of the field to prevent the grit from getting out, and well filters for the runoff sewers in the street network of the catchment area.

A ferry connection from Herttoniemenranta to the Market Square, especially now that the Kulosaarensilta bridge will be under renovation.

Let’s plant natural flowering pollinator plants – especially berry bushes and fruit trees. Could be partly implemented through volunteer work and made visible through signs and maps.

Planting flowering pollinator plants – especially berry bushes and fruit trees – to public areas, parks and near playgrounds, selecting species that are also native to the area.

Creating a goose-free area in Kaivopuisto by fencing it off so as to block geese from entering. This would make having picnics and other activities in the park easier.

Kontula has become known for the many popular events in the area. It now needs an event producer that can support the residents with organising culture events of all sizes.

Lawn areas do not benefit nature and should be transformed into meadows. Traditional Finnish field and meadow plants should be used for the meadows. Even small meadows are good for pollinators and other insects.

Increasing the pleasantness of the surroundings of the Herttoniemi metro station. This could be done by adding more benches, flower plantings, trees and lights and by tidying up the area, etc.

More greenery, such as trees and planted flowers. After the previous OmaStadi round, the city identified four ways of bringing more greenery to the central area, and these should be taken into use.

Strengthening the Haaganpuro meadow route. A resident survey and event regarding the locations and meadow walks, volunteer projects, seed collecting and info signs. New maintenance plans created with residents for Mätäjoki (Malminkartano–Pitäjänmäki).

More outdoor gyms. Possible locations: Jätkäsaari, Eira, Etu-Töölö, Sinebrychoff Park and Lauttasaari. The locations (a maximum of two) are selected during the co-development stage.
