That means a reduction of traffic in the area. Cyclists will be able to use these streets as well as Paleisstraat-Damstraat. A ronstraat will be closed to all vehicles except trams. The point of departure is to use contemporary styles in a reserved way so that the lay-out will remain current for a long time to come, justice is done to the buildings and the spatial image of the square is not disturbed. For the design and choice of materials the unity of the square is the primary consideration.
Stainless steel is maintenance-free, timeless and chic.
Disturbing elements such as posts and technical facilities will be kept to a minimum or laid underground. The total cost of the project is thirty million guilders.
