2. Summary
3. But first… accesibility!
3. Main principles
• Main entrance via A12 – Schommelei
– Reduce trafic attraction from West to East
• Accumulated effect of new functions in all zones
– Livability in “Voetballersstraat” and “Kapelstraat” !
– Focus on urban and dynamic functions in Western zones
– Focus on less dynamic functions in East.
• Take in account identity and uniqueness zones
• Gateways linked to urban areas
– adapted to individual character and capacity of each gateway
3. Conclusions
• “voetballerstraat” bottleneck for
recreational area

Capacity 300 pae
Totaal visitors +/-110.000/year
