Questionnaire prompts masses of proposals for City of Dreams
The Helsingin Sanomat web-pages entitled The City of Your Dreams that were opened last week have been very popular with online readers. By Monday, there were already over 500 proposals for the improvement of the Greater Helsinki Area and the surrounding municipalities.
The proposals vary from ambitious visions to minor details. While one wants to build a railway line from Helsinki to Tallinn, another wants to have a speed bump installed in his or her home street.
The majority of the suggestions are related to the City of Helsinki, with the basic idea being to brighten up the city centre. On the other hand, there is also room for improvement for example in Kirkkonummi and Järvenpää, where more services and train departures would be needed.
The readers are welcome to hand over their own proposals or to support the existing proposals on the following web address, which will be accessible for another two weeks: omakaupunki.hs.fi/ (in Finnish only).
