Very Nice
the orange Plate is a traffic sign for boats..
With the number of elder citizens rising this seems like a very very strange idea. It makes for a nice picture, surely, but suppose for any reason you need to cross that bridge frequently. At a certain point you are going to be fed up with this mandatory excersie. I hope that in the nearby parts of Purmerend not too many elder people are living.
This excercise in artistic design reminds of the Red bridge that connects the Europaboulevard with the Amstelpark in Amsterdam Buitenveldert. This rather arched bridge effectively cuts of many eldery people from going to that park as quite some homes for the elderly are located in that area. If you are in a wheelcair or use a rollator you are even warned about it. Lots of people were very angry about but the city council could not reverse the whole matter. They were so much critizised that they even subsidized taxis fares for the physically challenged people to get into the park via the main entrance.
This bridge seems to fall into the same category. I would be very interested to hear how much input from the citizens this design (sic) bureau had organised and how they have taken into account the demographics of the neighbourhoods there in Purmerend.
yes, why? while it looks nice, it is a bit of a BS, to cross the river with a bridge like that, you might as well try to swim across, it’s less of a workout and think about the danger of a fall….haha
and don’t blame it on regulations, just a total lack of consideration in the name of being “clever”….
@parker solar panel?
Awesome. I wonder why the orange plates at the top of the arch?
why?
