In Finland, city dwellers use cars as in the countryside – in Lahti it has become a problem

Officially green bay can’t get rid of car emissions

There is no money or political will to curb emissions.

The foundation of the Lahti traffic system is car traffic. Vesijärvenkatu crosses the center of Lahti in a four -lane. On March, the air is gray with sand dust coming off the street surface.

Traffic causes the greatest emissions in Lahti, but there is no money or political will to curb it.

Behind the traffic arrangements of Lahti and many other Finnish cities is the idea of \u200b\u200ban American motor city. This is because Finnish cities grew most powerful at the same time as private cars became more common.

In the provincial centers, the development was inevitably pushed in this direction, as the municipalities of rural areas were practically forced to come to the city by car.

The winner of the tendering operator will take the bus lines in the summer of 2026.

The local bus lines of the Lahti region were already selected for the Lita, but the acquisition is delayed due to an error.

Lahti will have to suspend bus lines due to an error in the procurement procedure.

In November 2024, the Lahti Public Transport Board decided in November 2024 the bidding process of more than 30 bus lines. The lines were divided into two destinations.

The tender was won by Koiviston Auto Lahti Oy with a bid of approximately EUR 11 million in both destinations. The Lahti City Engineer approved the company’s offer in March. In the gross model, the operator receives the ticket revenue.

However, a recent decision of the official decision shows that the City of Lahti’s contracting entity received an appeal against Pohjolan Liikenne, which participated in the tendering.

The Mayor of Lahti will cook new delegates about financial management: schools also have to be cut

Lahti Mayor Niko Kyynäräinen speaks to the city council.
Lahti Mayor Niko Kyynäräinen, among other things, prepares budgets for the council to decide. Archive picture.

Lahti Mayor Niko Kyynäräinen believes that new decision -makers selected in the spring should find both the necessary savings and a lunch for new investments.

The city has reduced operating expenses by EUR 24 million last year, but at the same time tax revenue and government subsidies have also fallen by more than EUR 30 million.

The success of economic balancing is based on the growth of the economy. For example, Fazer’s new chocolate factory had already been calculated to improve the Lahti economy by several million euros, but the company has not yet made an investment decision.

So you have to continue to cut expenses.

– This means that we may have the biggest and most painful savings in the service network ahead.

The league’s disciplinary delegation has imposed a three-match suspension on Pelicans’ Wyatt Kalynuk for the incident in Tuesday’s game against Jukurit.

Lahti Pelicans lost 3-8 to Mikkeli Jukure in a playout series in the Finnish Ice Hockey League on Tuesday night.

The league’s disciplinary committee ruled that Kalynuk’s tackle was almost exclusively on the head of a Jukurii player and was worthy of a three-match suspension. The full reasoning can be found on the SM-liiga website.

Jukurit leads the series 2-1. Four wins will secure their place in the league, while the loser of a pair of matches will be eliminated from the league against the Mestika winner.
