Borgerhout a new Borgerhoutsestraat residents association is strongly in the coming of a so-called Park Spoor East: a large park area that should appear in the foreseeable future on the SNCB marshalling yard at Hof Ter Lo. "Currently, the wildest rumors about this site," said spokesman Michel transport wa Franssens. "Will there be a system, a parking lot, or at a SME zone? As residents, we are concerned that the decision is taken to go over our heads. So we decided to unite us. "
The logical alternative proposals put under Franssens great pressure on the quality of life in the area. 'Borgerhout is currently one of the least green and healthy districts. The arrival of a new park area in that respect only logical, especially now that we are in danger of losing some of the Rivierenhof by the recent decision transport wa around the BAM route. " The new residents' association would like to enter into discussions with the Antwerp city council and the district transport wa Borgerhoutsestraat college. transport wa The two came together by chance yesterday, but the file around Park Rail East is provisionally much news to report. The arrival of the Sinksenfoor is still discussed with the SNCB, and for the development of Park East Rail are not currently available the necessary resources.
Participation and communication 'Negotiating the advent of such a park is currently far too premature, "said Antwerp Alderman for Urban Development Rob Van de Velde (N-VA). transport wa "But like other residents, transport wa we also want to give this group participation." Borger transport wa Houts district chairman Marij Preneel (Green) supports the new action transport wa group. "I am pleased that residents unite spontaneously for a greener Borgerhout," she says. "The city council has agreed to our request to organize a bewonersvergadering when more is known about the future of the site. Communication with the local residents is of the greatest importance in these. ' The arrival of the Sinksenfoor sees the residents clearly not sit. "The choice of a park closes certain things out," says Franssens. "The arrival of a large fair is not the right medicine for this neighborhood." Koen De Beuckeleer Nieuwsblad 05-03-2014 p. 23
For there to protest against the arrival of the Sinksenfoor to Park East Rail. A group of local residents who gathered at a pressure group demands that the district receives additional green and sees that not compatible with the advent of the system, an SME zone or an additional parking transport wa for the Sportpaleis. "Overkap ring and Sinksenfoor is welcome. Otherwise not," they say.

The group consists of local residents, who in recent months closely transport wa followed the debate on the arrival of the Sinksenfoor, at the piece Borgerhout which rests on the Singel. The lingering uncertainty about it, and the choice transport wa of the Flemish Government for the BAM route, make that they unite and speak out. "We hear a lot of rumors," they say. "A fair. A parking lot. An SME park. All well and good. But what about the long discussed Park Spoor East? Where's that extra green lung? Where is our hoped-buffer against transport wa ring, noise and particulate matter."
For months, hoping the residents of Park Spoor Noord that Flanders would choose a Oosterweelverbinding that would relieve the environment of Borgerhout. But now with the BAM route the opposite takes place, and Borgerhout the decor is a huge intersection, fears around that within the foreseeable future hardly still green in their district. Especially since the city now also the interpretation of the park Moorkens Square reconsider.
