Helsinki Kruunuvuori Bridge opens to pedestrians and cyclists
"Kruunuvuori bridge an exceptional project by international standards. Bridges of this scale are rarely built exclusively for public transport, pedestrians and cyclists."
"From the outset, the focus was on pedestrian and cyclist safety, a comfortable travel experience, and barrier-free accessibility...Opening the bridge to light traffic marks an important milestone, providing a safe and distinctive route across the surrounding urban landscape." >>

It is not a fuel crisis,
it is a fossil fuel crisis!
Oh dear, We forgot to transition our mobility system
Go e-anything now without the matching active mobility infrastructure.
This fuel crisis could last for a while. It’s time for a new approach to fuel use – end it. >>
