It’s a tram/light rail project meant to connect a large island in Eastern Helsinki with downtown. The most significant part are 3 new bridges that only carry trams, cyclists and pedestrians.

The tram will start operation in 2027, but the bridges are opened for pedestrian traffic as they are completed. The next one should be finished later this summer.

Here’s a short video of the project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTW2VIf5k0I

Many politicians are fools. Mayor Ed Gainey is no fool.

I’m genuinely impressed. He said that he would reduce traffic deaths and injuries. And he actually delivered. Props to the guy and his team 👏.

My city has a lot of accidents. Our mayor doesn’t care : /

Cette ONG fait un travail véritablement extraordinaire :

Cependant, je ne la soutiens pas.

Je soutiens déja financièrement 3 excellents journaux :

• Médiapart

• Le Monde

• The Guardian

Cette année, j’ai pris la décision d’appuyer aussi durablement des logiciels libres dont Libre Office, VLC, Qbittorrent, et GIMP.

Mes moyens financiers sont limités…

Alors que les besoins sont absolument immenses :/
