Let's Build a Better Roetersstraat

The data is clear: Roetersstraat is unsafe, unbalanced, and prioritizes vehicles over the 75% of users who walk and cycle. Low-Traffic Neighborhoods have proven successful in London, reducing accidents by 60%, improving air quality, and garnering overwhelming public support. It's time to bring this proven solution to Amsterdam.
