Streets and trafficKauklahti

The City of Espoo’s Public Works Department has started drawing up street and park plans for the Mynttilä local detailed plan area. The plans are related to the implementation of transport connections necessary to develop the area, the improvement of traffic safety, and the development of land use in the Mynttilä area. The work includes street connections in accordance with the detailed plan and plans for the necessary runoff water management structures. The Technical Services Committee approved the plans on 16 August 2023.

A runoff water sewer is also planned for the street area when preparing the street plan. The lateral ditches will be removed when the street is constructed. The drainage of the street area will be by runoff water sewerage. The property is also obligated to join the runoff water sewer once the construction is completed and the area is established as a runoff water sewerage area (Water Supply Act, Section 17b). If the property has another effective way to manage runoff water (e.g. infiltration on site or directed to a park area), the property can apply for an exemption from joining the runoff water network from the City of Espoo’s Environment and Building Control Department. (Search www.espoo.fi for “Exemption from joining the water utility’s stormwater system”)

We ask the property owner to provide information about the desired runoff water network connection point by 2.1.2023. Please send the information about the connection point to the project planner (peik.salonen@espoo.fi) in the form of a free-form map drawing, photograph or verbal description.

The draft plans can be viewed in the Ota kantaa service. Residents and interested parties can comment on the drafts for a period of two weeks 14.12.2022-2.1.2023 on the site. Link to the otakantaa.fi service.(external link, opens in a new window)

After the draft phase, the finalised draft street plan will be made available for public consultation from 5 June to 19 June 2023. The parties concerned will be notified by letter of the presentation in public.
