Phase

Design

The streets, parking areas, pedestrian and cycle paths, squares, and parks planned for the Finnoo centre will serve the planned apartment buildings, shopping centre, and metro station entrances. Ridarinreitti is part of the Länsibaana cycling route. According to plans, part of the Finnoo centre will be built significantly above the current ground level. Seating steps will connect the Finnoontori and Skarpnäs squares, which are at different levels. A lush seating area with a pergola is planned at the edge of the Skarpnäs square, and Finnoontori will be enhanced with varied plantings. In the Syvänsalmenmetsä plans, the habitats and movement corridors of the flying squirrel have been taken into account. The planning area also includes two stormwater depressions for water retention and treatment based on wetland vegetation.

Kiikarikatu leads to the Finnoo centre. There are pavements on both sides of the carriageway. Cycling takes place on the carriageway.

Several planted areas are planned for Finnoontori. Areas have been reserved for bicycle parking.

The Finnoontori and Skarpnäs squares are connected by seating steps with greenery added through planted areas.

A green relaxation area with a pergola is planned along the edge of the Skarpnäs square.

The draft plans are available for public comment on the otakantaa.fi(external link, opens in a new window) website between 8 October and 22 October 2025.

After the commenting period, the plans will be finalised and made available for public review, which will be announced on the city’s website, in the Have Your Say Now newsletter, and by letter to interested parties.
