This stretch, between the intersection of Elektriciteitsstraat and the junction with Antwerpsesteenweg, will be transformed into a new city boulevard.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">a green gateway to wattland<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-margin-small\">The redesign of the central reservation will start with the removal of the crash barriers and the lowering of the existing green strip to encourage natural water management. This will allow rainwater to soak into the ground more effectively, rather than running off into the drainage system. The plans also include additional planting, featuring native tree species that naturally thrive in the area. As a result, Wattland, along the side of Keerdoklaan, will benefit from around 100 new trees, significantly enhancing the green space.<\/p>\n\n\n<div\nclass=\"text-center flex flex-col items-center wp-blocks-block  alignwide\"\n>\n                <div class=\"text-9xl rotate-180 flex justify-center text-primary-500 pointer-events-none max-h-16\">\n            &rdquo;\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"text-3xl normal-case\">\n            The future residents of Wattland will benefit, along the side of Keerdoklaan, from around 100 new trees, significantly enhancing the green space.\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"h-1 bg-primary-500 w-64 my-8 justify-center mx-auto\">\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">putting safety first<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-margin-small has-text-align-left\">On the side where traffic leaves the city, the hard shoulder and crash barriers will be replaced with a green verge, trees, a 3-metre wide two-way cycle lane, and a safety strip with hedging between the cycle lane and the road to improve cyclist safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-margin-small has-text-align-left\">On the side where traffic enters the city, a wide cycle lane will be created alongside a new green strip. The buffer canal will remain in place, as it plays an important role in collecting rainwater and promoting water infiltration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-margin-small has-text-align-left\">Want to learn more about the redevelopment of the N16 \/ Keerdoklaan into a city boulevard? <br>Click here for more details:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mechelen.be\/stadsvernieuwing\/n16\">https:\/\/www.mechelen.be\/stadsvernieuwing\/n16<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div\n    class=\"flex flex-wrap wp-blocks-block  alignwide\"\n>\n            <a class=\"flex-grow w-1\/3 xl:w-1\/6 h-72 lg:h-120 2xl:h-160\"\n            data-fslightbox href=\"https:\/\/coresdevelopment.be\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Wattland_Woningen_coliving.jpg\">\n            <img decoding=\"async\"\n    src=\"https:\/\/coresdevelopment.be\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Wattland_Woningen_coliving.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coresdevelopment.be\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Wattland_Woningen_coliving-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/coresdevelopment.be\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Wattland_Woningen_coliving-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/coresdevelopment.be\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Wattland_Woningen_coliving-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/coresdevelopment.be\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Wattland_Woningen_coliving-1536x922.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/coresdevelopment.be\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Wattland_Woningen_coliving.jpg 1800w\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1080\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"object-cover object-center !h-full w-full\"\n>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Monday 13th January, the city of Mechelen will begin work on the N16 \/ Keerdoklaan.
