Residents lose battle against asphalt, D66 supports Weerdsingel plan

Judge agrees with the municipality of Utrecht residents lose battle

It was unclear for a long time whether the alderman’s plans could count on a majority in the municipal council. D66 hesitated for a long time about asphalt or clinkers. In the corridors it appeared that D66 councilor and spokesperson on the subject Joost Vasters would prefer to opt for vowels. D66 is part of the coalition, and that is why he votes for the councilor’s plan and therefore for asphalt. D66’s argument is that a policy document, the city center environmental vision, stipulates that the entire canal will have red asphalt for cyclists.
