The pilot activities are focused on designing mobile green boxes by planting the trees in mobile containers to which the modular benches have been attached. Mobile containers are made of ‘corten’ and weather-resistant durable wood. By implementation of pilot-action the street that is already the street with half bicycle lane and half pedestrian zone becomes greener place with new traffic solution giving preference to pedestrians and bicyclist, without vehicle parking and limited motor vehicle traffic. With the placement of new green solutions – tools/materials/equipment – in this street particularly, City of Varaždin will partially minimize warming effect in the city centre regarding the concrete surface and enable beneficiaries longer stay in city centre and in the street area.
The equipment that is utilized in Šenoina street (5 green boxes/modules – combination of seats and trees) is made of natural materials and gives the feeling of a green oasis within the city streets. (wood, steel-corten boxes for planting trees). Green boxes – combination of seats and plants are mobile that could be arranged as needed and could be moved around the city (‘PopUp green settlements’) in case for new public transport solutions needs. This pilot action will represent best practice example in improving the urban environment, tactical transport and sustainable mobility in general and City administration will, continue with the same actions with their own funding in future.
