Several streets around Vogelplein no longer meet modern standards. The quality of the paving is poor and in need of replacement. At the same time, the council wishes to improve the layout of the parking areas and, where possible, add green spaces to the streetscape. Vogelplein itself is to be transformed back into a meeting place with play facilities. The public space will also be deconcentrated.
Bird Square
The entire square is being redesigned. The existing trees will be retained as far as possible. The playground equipment will be relocated and fitted with a different surface. The square will also feature spaces for people to meet and socialise. In addition, there will be more space for greenery to create shaded areas. When deciding on the planting, care will be taken to ensure it is open enough to allow a clear view to and from the square.
Residential streets
In the residential streets, the existing surfacing will be replaced with paving stones. The parking bays will be clearly marked. Where possible, green areas will be extended – for example, on Fazantweg between Vogelplein and Korhoenweg – or new ones created to demarcate the parking bays. An infiltration drain will also be installed in all streets to allow rainwater from the road to seep into the ground.
