Streets and trafficLeppävaara

The City of Espoo has begun preparing a street plan for Vahtirinne. The plan will enable street-side parking and improve and streamline the pedestrian and cycling route to Helsinki. The street plans will be available for public review from 3 November to 17 November 2025.

There will be roadworks to widen the street to 5.5 metres on certain sections to enable street-side parking. Pedestrian improvements will include a widening of the current pavement to 2.5 metres. At the end of the street, there will be a better connection to Helsinki for pedestrians and cyclists.

The solutions of the proposed plan do not impact the properties and plots on the street. There is room in the current street area for the planned solutions. Existing structures, planters and other similar features on the street area will be removed unless they have a placement or building permit.

People can read and comment the draft street plan between 1 and 15 September 2025 at the Otakantaa.fi website(external link, opens in a new window).

After the draft phase, the proposal for the final street plan will be made available for public review from 3 November to 17 November 2025. The parties concerned will receive a notice of the public review in the mail.

We have created a glossary of planning terms that you may find useful. You can find the glossary on the City of Espoo’s website by searching for ‘Street and park planning glossary’.
