Great maintenance in public areas in Steenwijkerland

In the coming period, a lot of work will actually be done in Steenwijkerland municipality. It is part of the major maintenance work that the municipality will carry out this year in public spaces.

Alderman Melvin Smit: “We are talking about improving and renovating roads, bike paths, sewers, slabs, bridges, playground equipment, and also major trim work, among other things. To make this clear to everyone, we have drawn up a map showing where we will be working in the municipality and we will be doing major maintenance.” . A general map can be found on the municipality’s website ( www.steenwijkerland.nl/grootmaintenancesteenwijkerland ).

43 km of roads, 5 km of bike paths, 7.5 km of sewers, 1.5 km of slabs, 37 buildings (such as bridges and scaffolding), 39 playground equipment and 10 sites to be bulldozed. Work ranges from repairs to complete replacements. Major maintenance work comes in addition to normal maintenance in public spaces, such as mowing roadsides, maintenance of beds, lawns, green spaces, sweeping, cleaning, inspection tours and repair work in response to reports from residents. Alderman Melvin Smit: “In addition, we make time for residents’ initiatives. If the district comes up with a good plan, we as a municipality are happy to lend a hand.”

Schedule

A detailed schedule is drawn up for all activities. Once the project is set up, communication with relevant local interests or neighborhood associations and local residents also begins. Alderman Melvin Smit: “If you work in a public place, of course you will always notice something. We want to inform everyone about this in a good way. Of course we also try to take into account questions and wishes as much as possible.

In addition to the general map – which will be expanded online in the coming months with information for each project – there is also a detailed “branching map” on the municipality’s website. It shows for each core when the trees will be pruned this year.
