A green city

 

Copenhagen prides itself of being a green city but sometimes the city council seems to take it a bit too far. On my street the green has taken over on the sidewalk in many places like here where the weeds are being measured in meters. I know that the funds for maintenance has been cut, but repairing the damage usually ends up being more expensive than maintaining it.

A new sidewalk

One of the many streets in Copenhagen closed to traffic due to construction work seems close to be opened again. A four lane street, Vester Voldgade running across the central square Rådhuspladsen, has been transformed to a two lane street with a wide sidewalk perfect for café tables or outdoor life. It's still closed down to traffic at the square and will be until construction on the metro finishes in a about 2018.
