Who knows better how things work in our city? The Zoetermeers themselves of course! That’s why it’s nice if we as residents can participate in decisions made by our municipality. In a while, the parking lot at the De Leyens shopping center will be tackled. Do you have an opinion about that? Then share it!

The layout of the site is not logical and the parking spaces are too tight. The municipality of Zoetermeer wants a major metamorphosis for the site on the Sartre side.
A lot of changes
Students from Alfrink College feel that they cannot cross the street safely, and who exactly has priority when entering or leaving the car park? Residents, shopkeepers, staff, visitors and travelers all come up against points that need to be addressed.
A huge nuisance is the freight traffic that supplies the supermarkets. Very good and important work, of course, but those running engines and reversing from the parking places at Albert Heijn and Lidl are really not pleasant and safe. This also applies to the accessibility of the environmental island: refuse collectors cannot easily reach this place. Time for a change!
Trees must stay
The trees in the parking lot are in poor condition and at the end of their lifespan, according to the municipality. They also have too little space to grow properly. That is why the municipality is putting forward the idea of replacing the trees with new ones and the new plantings will be given a larger piece of land to allow them to grow better. The green appearance, which is so appreciated by residents, will then be preserved.
Do you also have something to say about this? There will be one on Tuesday, March 21 from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm walk-in evening in the committee room of City Hall. You can submit your questions in advance and talk about this subject. The municipality can include these ideas in the proposed plan.
