Minister of the Environment Zuhal Demir points out that a master plan was drawn up by various authorities for the Kortrijk station area as early as 2015. “During this second phase, the intention is to demolish the old station building and build a new station building with raised platforms and guaranteed accessibility for everyone,” the N-VA minister explains.
In addition, the environment is being redesigned. For example, two underpasses are created as a kind of ‘street’ or ‘square’ under the tracks. The intention is that Stationsplein will also become greener in this way.
