Street maintenance, situation on 12 January 2024
After weeks of sub-zero temperatures, the weather quickly became milder. The snow began to melt, and the rising temperatures softened the piles of snow and ice on the streets. Changeable weather and temperatures, along with snowfall, are expected during the weekend and early next week.
We will be ploughing the streets, removing packed snow, and preparing for the next change in weather. Slipperiness prevention is also needed because temperatures have fallen below zero at night.
According to the forecast, the weather is getting colder again. As the slush on the streets freezes, the street surface becomes uneven and slippery despite our prevention efforts. Please be careful on the streets, whether you travel by foot, bike or car!
Feedback on maintenance
Our customer service works closely with maintenance staff and informs them about the feedback received. Please note that sending us feedback will not speed up the ploughing of your street. All streets in Espoo are cleared in order, one area at a time, based on their pre-determined maintenance category.
We ask you to send your feedback directly through the city’s online feedback system(external link, opens in a new window). Both our feedback and telephone services are quite busy from time to time, and waiting times may be long.
If you can, also send us a photo of the site in question. Based on the photo, we will be able to assess the urgency of the situation, which will accelerate the processing of your feedback.
Trimble Feedback mobile app
You can also give location-based feedback through the Trimble Feedback mobile application(external link, opens in a new window). It is a quick way to send a message to customer service, for example concerning a need for maintenance. We go through all mobile feedback and forward it to experts who will take the necessary measures.
