The most important areas of development in the village

School, daycare center, counseling center, youth facilities, proper lighting for park areas, sledding hill, more garbage and park benches. There should be three skating rinks, a rink, a bigger rink and a small practice area for beginners. Development and renovation of the park next to the school, playground equipment and equipment renovation in the park, so that it is safe and comfortable to play. Cycle paths and their poor condition, public transport very inadequate. There could be more cooperation with city operators in events organized by residents' associations. It would also be worthwhile to think about e.g. the amount of rents for sports facilities, especially from residents' associations or other local adult actors.

Threats to avoid

Unsafe and poorly maintained light traffic routes and routes to schools (Kärjen school and Pruuk unified school) are a threat. Lack of youth facilities, young people gather in the front yard of the school in front of the doors. The traffic of mopeds, motorcycles and moped cars along the park corridors. With better planning, cooperation with the city and decent facilities and human resources for children and youth work, threats can be prevented from happening. Counseling services back in Kärke, there are a lot of families with children in the area.

Construction sites

The tip is rapidly expanding towards the south towards the new bypass road.
