Thursday, 17 November saw the official opening of the newly relandscaped Europaplein-Oost. It creates a real meeting place for the neighbourhood, in a green and leafy setting that features a new play area. In the evenings, it will be brought to life by the Virtual Fountains light artwork.
The restructuring work on Europaplein-Oost has been delayed by four months. We will also only be able to include 46 of the 55 parking spaces planned. The roots of some of the trees are too big, preventing us from paving the soil on top of them.
The design of the upgraded Wielingenstraat is now definitive. With a separate cycle path, optically narrowed lanes and a reduction in freight traffic, the street is set to become safer. A green central reservation will also give it a leafier look and feel.
In the course of 2022, maintenance work will be carried out next to the RAI Exhibition Centre in order to make the area greener and safer. Following consultations with residents, parts of the design of Wielingenstraat and the Boerenwetering canal bank have been improved. The schedule has been adjusted accordingly.
The waste containers in Wielingenstraat are being replaced and immediately repositioned. At the moment, there are three containers in two different locations, but these will be replaced by five containers next to each other, between Eendrachtstraat and Krammerstraat.
The renovation work on Europaplein-Oost, opposite the RAI, will be starting on 8 November 2021. Before it can be relandscaped, some things will need to be removed. By the summer of 2022, the neighbourhood will have a new green area to enjoy.
A sustainable and multifunctional meeting place, with the delivery and transport of goods underground and housing on top. That is the future plan for the area around the RAI. In a letter to the Council, Deputy Mayor Everhardt has expressed his support for this Masterplan.
After two years of designing and talking to local residents, we now have a definitive design for Europaplein-Oost, located opposite RAI. We have made a few changes to the provisional design that we presented in December 2020.
