The project was intended to improve the backyard-like appearance of Vartius into a clean and organised scenic environment. The construction of the traffic ways was seen as an essential enabler for the systematic planning of the area and the meaningful positioning of functions there. The growth of new vegetation was to be promoted and the environmental and scenic damage resulting from the operations was to be repaired using scenic roadside green areas along the main road. The environmental reconditioning work at the discontinued gravel pit adjacent to the groundwater extraction location within the local land-use plan was to protect and secure the availability of highquality groundwater.
