The cut on the Weesperstraat will become the watershed in Amsterdam's mobility policy

by: dr. Walther Ploos van Amstel (AUAS)

This opinion piece emphasizes that the 'Knip Weesperstraat' pilot will be a crucial moment for Amsterdam's mobility policy. The debate in the city council shows division and a lack of a clear vision. There is a plea for an integrated vision of mobility and public space, both within the city and in the region. A master plan and community involvement are essential for effective solutions. Building blocks for a vision are mentioned, such as limiting car use, stimulating shared mobility and promoting sustainable modes of transport. The goal is a connected city and region where people are central.
