There are also proponents of the cut. The Cyclists’ Union, itself located on the Catharijnesingel, usually supports all plans that limit car traffic and therefore also the cut, almost on their doorstep. Residents of Pijlsweerd and the surrounding area welcome any measure that reduces car traffic in their neighborhood. And with the cut, the thinking goes, through traffic will disappear. “But what exactly is through traffic in this case?” councilor David Bosch (UtrechtNu!) wants to know from the municipality. The project leader first falters a few times and then comes up with a confusing story about measuring telephones.
