The road, which runs past several campsites and the Gardaland amusement park, has now been made safer. The local population and Koen’s family have been pushing for this for a long time. There is now a cycle path at the spot where Koen died. His parents had mixed feelings about this, they told RTV Utrecht last year. “It is very nice that it has been made better now,” his mother said at the time. “But the spot where Koen died is gone. We had a bit of a hard time with that.”
