Renovation of Puutarhakatu
After the renovation, the street will have a wider two-way cycle track on the northern edge, pavements on both sides and a one-way carriageway for motor vehicles. The renovation will improve walking and cycling conditions and road safety, and make the street a more pleasant environment. The management of stormwater, i.e. rainwater and meltwater, will also be improved.
