amsterdam - On holidays, parts of the city are made car-free to prevent a new day-long gridlock. That wish D66 and GroenLinks, who see a closing of the center as the final solution.


         The parties will stop today through oral questions to the council at the bustle in the city during its heyday. During the Christmas holidays the traffic was often stuck. Especially in the inner ring of the city, roughly between the Weteringschans and the Central Station and the Marnixstraat and Weesperplein there was a couple of days no getting through.
Has experienced especially the tram traffic suffered from, the CFP has been warning for several days for delays on the lines that cross the city. Particularly in the week between Christmas and New Year's Eve to the touch, but also on Saturday, January 2nd, there was no getting through it, so it can be seen from the delay messages that did go the CFP.
GroenLinks cars rather fends off the town should come as no surprise, but now also for D66 had enough.,, How do we prevent it in 2016 with Easter, Pentecost and Christmas similar scenes take place, 'council member Jan-Bert asks Early himself on behalf of the largest coalition party in the city council. Early mainly sees the infamous beehive-file ', a long line of stationary cars waiting for a spot in the parking garage next to the department store on Dam Square, as culprit.
The queue for entering the garage often causes congestion across the Damrak and Rokin.,, How long will we tolerate a private dairy cow caused much inconvenience? Is not it time for drastic measures, such as the full closure of the Rokin and Damrak to discourage this kind of heyday? ''
The politician wants the council to contact the management of the garage, Q-Park, to allow the company to take more responsibility for the consequences in the surrounding area. But the alderman himself is encouraged by Early.,, What also struck me was the absence of the government to direct the traffic infarct in the right direction; a few traffic on the CFP after the city was left to itself. ''
The two parties together have a majority to enforce the ban car during the holidays, but it is expected to also include other left parties are sympathetic to the proposal from D66 and GroenLinks. Also traffic alderman Litjens will have to come later today in the City Hall with a response.
