News about the Design Landscape Park Madestein
The ‘GEM Vroondaal’ has been commissioned by the city council to develop the ‘Preliminary Design Quality Impulse Landscape Park Madestein’ (unchanged) into a Final Design. The reactions from 2020 from residents have not (yet) been taken into account.
On 11 May 2022, the city council commissioned to develop the Preliminary Design Quality Impulse Landscape Park Madestein’ and, in parallel, to conduct research into (provincial) subsidy options for funding and construction of the bridge connection between Vroondaal Hofstedepark (via Oostmadeweg to the bridge in the direction of Parnassia) and Vroondaal Zuid. We, as the board of the residents' association Vroondaal Hofstedepark, note that our previous comments from 2020 have not (yet) led to changed decision-making in the city council. At the end of 2020, the Temporary Design for the redesign has already been presented to local residents and those involved. The residents' association Vroondaal Hofstedepark already indicated at the time that we would like to see the Temporary Design adjusted on the following points:
1. No bicycle bridge or other connection via Oostmadeweg to Parnassia site;
2. Include a playground for older young people in the park;
3. Limit BBQ spots and picnic areas due to parking nuisance:
4. More space for off-leash areas for dogs.
GEM Vroondaal, as delegated client for the further elaboration, has promised ‘de Bewonersvereniging Vroondaal Hofstedepark’ that another consultation round with interested parties will take place. The Safety and Residential Environment Committee has now drawn up a draft letter addressed to the Municipal Executive. This concept is available on the member login page. The board cordially invites its members to support us in this and any arguments or additional points. The decision of the municipal council, including the Temporary Design and annexes, can be found on the municipality's website:
