Most important actions for the City:
1. Straight and smooth routes, with good arrangements for crossing, pedestrians and cycling quality-separated
2. More and better bicycle parking spaces3. High-quality maintenance all year round 4. Clear-term and high-quality worksite traffic5. Marketing and communication

Cycling in a key role in enabling growth
![Page 11: Bicycle traffic in Helsinki](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58a20fcb1a28ab40098b687f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Enabling growth
By 2050:• the City of Helsinki +250 000 people• Greater Helsinki Region +600 000 people
The new Helsinki City Plan proposes: Expansion of the inner city as a major part of the growth

New City Plan
1. Creating a Public Transport Network City
2. Expansion of the inner city
3. Infill development of important nodes
4. Improving the green network city

How can we achieve this?

Space
40 bicycles vs. 40 cars

Bicycle Network for city center 2025
• One directional bicycle paths at city center

Part of the network is already built

Winter maintenance pilot on cycle paths
2015-2016
![Page 26: Bicycle traffic in Helsinki](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58a20fcb1a28ab40098b687f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Current quality standards
Bike paths:– Plowed by 7 o’clock: 410
km– Plowed by 10 o’clock: 1
200 km– Plowed by 12 o’clock: 860
km
Plowing has to start, when the layer of snow is more than 5 cm.

Why are we developing winter maintenance now?
Increase the number of cyclists
Find out the winter maintenance quality standards needed to increase the number of winter cyclists
What are the costs of better winter maintenance?
![Page 28: Bicycle traffic in Helsinki](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070600/58a20fcb1a28ab40098b687f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
New route-specific winter maintenance methods
Baana – Helsinginkatu (3,1 km)– Brushing– New de-icing solution Granlux– Potassium formate-liquid Eco-Melter
Helsinginkatu – Oulunkylä (5,6 km)– Brushing– Salt Kuva: Reetta Keisanen / KSV

Preliminary results
Granlux and Eco-Melter
• More eco-friendly than salt
• Costs tenfold compared to salt
• Make snow stick to the bike
Anti-skid using salt
• Needs to be applied often
• Costs bigger compared to gravel
• Works well in near-zero-temperatures
• Good maintenance level at very low temperatures
• Negative environmental effects
Brushing snow
• Brushing essential to achieve better quality
• Slower than plowing snow
• Machines big and have little other use

Summary
Better winter maintenance quality is clearly more expensive than current quality.
Brushing is in central role.
The pathway is to be built with high quality, drainage needs to be well executed.
No considerable differences in the quality of the winter maintenance between the two methods.
Pilot to be continued with salt due to cost-efficiency
