A round yellow seat and planters have been placed at Centralvägen and Köpmannagatan in Rimbo. The temporary furniture will activate the site while a future Central Square is planned. Residents can provide feedback via a QR code and a digital form.
What happened?
The future square is a working name for the intersection and eastern Köpmannagatan up to Stockholmsvägen. The municipality is mainly planning a car-free place, with the exception of where Centralvägen crosses the square. The permanent transformation is several years ahead, so the furnishing is an early test and not the finished square.
Location
Rimbo, Norrtälje, Stockholms län
Impact and significance
Center development affects meeting places, services, footpaths, traffic and later housing projects. Through the form, residents can describe what works, what needs to be changed and send a picture. The views become a basis, but the municipality does not promise that every idea will be implemented or that the temporary color and shape will become permanent.
Background
According to the municipality, the larger project for central Rimbo includes new housing, a bus station with waiting areas and service, as well as development south of the center and east of road 280. The yellow round shape reappears in the project's communication and is to connect routes and meeting places.
