Smart mobility
Savilahti is easily reachable from the city centre, from the wider Kuopio area and regionally. The area will be designed to be easy to live and move around in even without a car. In Savilahti, walking, cycling and public transport are designed to run smooth and be attractive options. This goal is supported by user-driven transport service models as well as by creating facilities for and preferring low-emission means of transport.
Parking in the area will be mainly concentrated in parking facilities and block or plot-specific parking solutions. In the latest local detailed plans for Savilahti (the Yliopistonranta area, the eastern part of Vanha Varikko), a flexible parking standard has been introduced with the aim of improving the preconditions for walking, cycling and using public transport.
Objectives for smart mobility solutions in Savilahti:
- Walking, cycling and using public transport are inspiring and attractive options for mobility.
