There are plans to build a new and wider opening towards Svartlamo(e)n at the Strandveien entrance. This will also help to connect the one house of Svartlamo(e)n that is on the South side of the railroad to the North, making it a mare natural and smoother connection to the others. It will also create a safer traffic pattern and make up for the upcoming demand for a better, safer, and controlled passage under the bridge, in and out of the city centre. A wider opening means safety measures for the train tracks need to be addressed. Thus, calling for, a well-designed constructed bridge to hold the wider opening for the railway. The group has produced an idea of how the solution could be. This suggestion consists of , a modern rounded truss bridge this will welcome people to Svartlamo(e)n, as well as the other up and coming areas around, like the soon to be business centrum of Trondheim Nyhavna. This improvement will also make the tunnel on Strandveien safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and other traffic on this path. This widening of the entry point is a large-scale and drastic action, it will consume great amount of money and time. However, , to open the long and dividing train track will help Trondheim’s plans of expanding and densifying, making safer traffic patterns and getting Strandveien ready for the inevitable traffic from of future expansions. The constructed road will have a sidewalk for pedestrians on the east side facing Svartlamo(e)n, then a 2-way cycling path for other soft traffic and at last a safer one-way road for cars. The car road will be 3,5 meters which is the minimum demand of roads in Norway. These, measurements meet Norway regulations and will allow cars in both directions to safely travel side by side with cyclists and pedestrians.
5.2. Long-term Vision for Strandveien The Solutions presented also include a long-term plan that the group wants to focus on. This plan hopes, to better Svartlamo(e)n or more specifically Strandveien even more so, . Tthe solutions already presented will pave the way for this vision and make it more likely for this to happen. The only problem as it stands now is non-cooperation and relying on important stakeholders that need to agree to give away their buildings, railway, and land. This means that , others may need to move away their businesses. Therefore, it was too complex to integrate these kinds of plans in the shorter-term spatial solutions. However, the group choose to make these ideas into a long-term vision for Svartlamo(e)n and Strandveien. Figure 55 & 56: Strandveien entry point, Before and After, Authors
