In the new Ravel residential district, something extraordinary is happening. To the south of the AFC football pitches, we are digging a canal: Ravelgracht. The fertile soil that we are removing is set to be reused in other places in Amsterdam.
Starting in September 2023, we will spend a year working on the entrance to the new Ravel residential district: Maurice Ravellaan, with space for pedestrians, cyclists and plenty of green areas. We are also digging an actual canal, complete with bridges to the AFC sports fields.
The cycle path in Beethovenstraat heading in the direction of Valley is again in use. We needed the cycle path in order to carry out work on cables and pipelines and prepare the two plots in the new Ravel residential district for construction. This has now been done.
In the period from Monday, 6 March until Friday, 10 March, Liander will be replacing a gas pipeline in Antonio Vivaldistraat. Vehicles travelling in a northerly direction will be diverted and the number 464 bus stop will be out of service. There will be little or no disruption for pedestrians and cyclists.
In the Ravel residential neighbourhood, the Kindercampus Zuidas has a brand-new natural playground and it’s even better than the old one. ‘In my view, a natural playground can be judged a success if there are as many places to hide as possible.’
From Friday, 2 September until Friday, 21 October 2022, there will be further traffic disruption and potentially also noise nuisance in Beethovenstraat, between Gustav Mahlerlaan and De Boelelaan. This is because of works in preparation for the new Ravel residential district.
From Friday 26 August, 2022 until 05.30 on 29 August, there will be traffic disruption and potential noise nuisance in Beethovenstraat, next to Valley. We are carrying out works in preparation for the new Ravel residential district.
The fifth and final AFC pitch has now been moved in a northerly direction. This completes the redevelopment of the sports park. It has created space for the new Ravel residential neighbourhood, where we will be building around 1,350 homes in the years ahead.
In order to develop the new Ravel residential neighbourhood, we first need to reposition or remove a lot of cables and pipelines. In the period up to August 2022, Vattenfall will be repositioning the pipelines that supply heating and cooling, moving them closer towards the new Maurice Ravellaan.
We are going to cut down four trees on the eastern side of Beethovenstraat. These are located just south of Valley and the future Maurice Ravellaan. They need to be removed because we have to reroute underground pipes and cables for the new residential area of Ravel.
Next to the southern entrance to Valley, the first piece of Maurice Ravellaan is now in place. This avenue will be the access route to the new Ravel residential neighbourhood. A crossroads has now appeared where Mahlerlaan previously formed a T-junction with Beethovenstraat.
Goed Genoeg, the new public sports park, and the new AFC clubhouse were officially inaugurated on Saturday 4 September 2021. The sports fields have been moved slightly to the north to make room for new houses in the residential district of Ravel.
