The partial master plan for Rykmentinpuisto must be reopened

The Rykmentinpuisto local master plan must be opened up, and our objectives must be reassessed.

The Rykmentinpuisto local master plan was approved in 2012. Rykmentinpuisto already has a legally valid local detailed plan covering an area of approximately 79 hectares, with building rights allocated for almost 364,000 square metres. This local detailed plan area can accommodate up to 6,000 residents. The entire local master plan area is designed for 12,000–15,000 residents.

However, times have changed and the importance of recreational and outdoor areas has grown even further. Rykmentinpuisto has everything it takes to become the central park of Central Uusimaa.

The local detailed plans and unplanned areas of the Rykmentinpuisto area are mainly for efficient apartment building construction. Rykmentinpuisto already has apartment building rights for up to 20 years based on the current population growth and targets in Tuusula. There is no longer a need to increase apartment building construction. Instead, Tuusula’s housing zoning and
construction should focus on small house construction.

We propose that the Rykmentinpuisto local master plan and area, as well as the objectives of the municipality of Tuusula in the area, be reviewed. This could be done, for example, in the ongoing master plan work or in the detailed planning or plan amendments to be carried out in the local master plan area.

The solutions currently being developed for the Puistokylä planning area will play a key role in reforming the content of the local master plan, making room for nature and safeguarding the outdoor recreation and exercise trails and natural environment that are important to the residents of Tuusula, centred around the Sports Centre and the adjacent forest area.
