Moreover, the sidewalk on Boschdijk is worn out and everything is empty, with lots of stone and concrete and little greenery.

More space for cyclists and pedestrians is also provided with separate tracks. In addition, there will be more trees and facade gardens. The number of parking spaces will be reduced, from about 200 to 150 in total. That’s enough for residents and visitors, according to the municipality.

There will also be a green water tank. This is to prevent flooding during rains. The maximum speed remains 50 kilometers per hour. Traffic lights at Marconiplein, Zernikestraat and Pastoor Petersstraat will remain in place.

So the renewal will start at the end of next year. Work should be completed in the summer of 2023.
