There is going to be so much parking here. This development has not received a minimum parking retirement waiver from the king (serious.)

One day the Netherlands will be as progressive as NYC and allow development without parking.

What we publish in English doesn't matter, it's marketing.

Idk Merwede gives me vaporware vibes because they've been saying "OMG SHOVELS IN THE DIRT SOON YOU GUYS" since at least 2020. I trust it as much as any dev plan for the old Newark ballpark.

Bike lanes are controversial mostly everywhere. Because those poor cars need space.

Protest in Utrecht against changing a through route for cars to be a bike only through route. Alsoonnecting the largest underground car parking garage I have ever seen.
