The Henegouwenkaai redevelopment is set to begin soon, promising smoother bike and pedestrian traffic in Molenbeek. On 2025-07-31 09:07:00, the obstructive fences currently complicating movement along the quay will be removed, marking a significant step forward.
- Start heraanleg kaaien begint binnenkort
- Hekken voor fietsers verdwijnen uit straatbeeld
- Samenwerking met buurtpartners voor straatmeubilair
- Mobiliteitsstudie resultaat afwachten voor testfase
- Nieuwe verkeerssituatie wordt uitgetekend met technici
Molenbeek’s Mobility and Public Works alderman, Saliha Raïss, has confirmed that the start of the quay’s renovation will be gradual. How will this affect daily commuters and local residents? And what changes can the community expect in terms of street furniture and traffic flow?
These questions are central as authorities collaborate with neighbourhood partners like Groot Eiland to select new street furniture and await mobility study results. This will guide a test phase for a new traffic layout, aiming to improve accessibility and safety.
What does this redevelopment mean for local mobility and urban life? The project reflects a thoughtful approach to urban renewal, balancing functionality with community input. Key points include:
- Removal of current fences easing bike and pedestrian movement
- Collaboration with local partners to choose appropriate street furniture
- Implementation of a mobility study to design a new traffic situation
- Gradual redevelopment to minimize disruption
As the project unfolds, residents and commuters are encouraged to stay informed and participate in consultations. Will the new design set a benchmark for future urban projects in Belgium? Only time will tell, but the focus on community and mobility is a promising start.
