🌈☔🌦️🍄🌱🍉Frederik Hendrikstraat in 1910. Before cars... soo much better. can we have wide streets again with space to play?
A single car doesn't have to be an issue. There is a difference between made for cars and having a few cars around (for for instance care needs).
This is the crossing of Bilderdijkstraat and De Clercqstraat in 1903. So much space in comparison with now.
Eerste Constantijn Huygensstraat crossing the Overtoom in 1956. Redesigned for cars, pedestrians or bicycles hardly get any space any more.
In the middle ages the overtoom was a pilgrims path to the Rokin, now it takes cars into and out of the city.
ca the 1930's the pedestrian space was already claimed, even if there where not so many cars yet. Space for cyclists and trams
Roelof Hartplein.
