Case Oude Brandenburgerweg in Bilthoven
Tuindorp is a part of the city of Bilthoven (community de Bilt). It has the classical atmosphere of the Thirties and in this neighbourhood you will come across the ‘Oude Brandenburgerweg’. All along the ‘Oude Brandenburgerweg’ you will see various types of real estate, both for rent and privately owned, a municipal swimming pool, a fitness centre, a pub, a hairdresser and a couple of luxury outlets. There used to be a grocery, a bakery, a shoe shop etcetera, but they have moved towards the city centre. Cars are parked to the left and right side of the street, under the over 80 years old, lovely green, trees. A peaceful place to live….
The street is part of a 50 km / hour zone and needs to be renovated. The tarmac is a combination of stone and concrete. For ten years now this street has been budgeted for renovation by the local authorities. Whenever people living in the street ask for it, they are told ‘that the renovation is on its way’, because the whole of Tuindorp is being renovated. The ‘Redecorate Tuindorp’ project has been running for a couple of years now and the Eastern sections have been completed. The sewer has been inspected and partly replaced, rain water has been separated from sewer water, all waste pipelines have been renewed, the tarmac has been renovated and the street has been rebuilt and now has marked parking places and new lighting.
The renovation of the Western sections is due. A number of active people living in the street are advised to start a street committee that will act on behalf of all people living in the ‘Oude Brandenburgerweg’. Just a couple of days later this committee is established.
In the mean time the local authorities have started up a project to renovate the street.
This project will need to deal with the following issues:
• The sewer will have to be renewed and any rainwater needs to be separated from sewer water
• The tarmac for the cars needs to slowly but surely run into the tarmac for pedestrians
• The allowed maximum driving speed will be adjusted to 30 kilometers / hour
• The amount of work needed to keep the green sections under control should be brought back to a minimum
• Car parking will only be allowed in explicitly marked areas (indicated by a different color of stones).
The local authorities have just appointed a project manager. The project manager has to plan the renovation and then manage that the planned work is carried out accordingly. The current month is the month of March and if all runs according to plan the shovels are expected to move the ground by the end
