Āgenskalns market and its adjacent territory is the center of Āgenskalns neighborhood with an active flow of people and traffic, which is why a project was developed and implemented improving the forecourt outdoor space, making it a pleasant and accessible environment for the community.
The improved territory consists of several zones – the forecourt of the market building, which is allocated to changing environmental and art objects; on the side of the road away from the market building, there are public transport stops and a resting area with benches, green boxes, a water filling station and an info stand; on the side of the street from the entrance gate of the market is the multi-functional area where benches with urban sport elements are placed.
