Trees and shrubs will be planted on the separators and sidestrips of the streets and walkways. Water supply, telecommunications and energy network lines will be built in the street area.
Gräsantori is a new square formed on the site of a former service station plot in accordance with the plan change. The square will be green with plenty of trees and shrubs. An artwork will be placed in the southwestern part of the square. The square has a reservation for a kiosk/restaurant building. There will be a parking area in the northern part of the square.
