Improve environment and look of Mercator plein and Hoofdweg-Kinkerstraat crossing

Door: Georgina Pipe

Mercatorplein is a very barren and unattractive brick square. I think its one of the most un-loved and un-tapped areas in West that could do with a makeover.
Secondly the buildings on the hoofdweg - postjesweg cross-roads are also ugly, particularly the one with the 5G antennas on it - is there a way to improve with trees or updating the facade (paint etc) ? compared to the park areas these spaces are an eye-sore.

This proposal is to improve the lived environments of the west communities around Mercatorplein and Hoofdweg-kinkeratraat.

Mercatorplein is a very barren and unattractive brick square. I think its one of the most un-loved and un-tapped areas in West that could do with a makeover - the fountains and restaurant make a good start - but there is a huge square of empty brick space that could be made more attractive - either social space, green space, or something cultural such as art or food pop-ups.

Secondly the buildings on the hoofdweg - postjesweg cross-roads are unloved, scary and ugly, particularly the one with the 5G antennas on it - is there a way to improve? We could paint the façade, line the building with trees or bushes, maybe move the antennas to be less visible from the street, and give the building a general facelift.

I see so much improvement in the parks and ‘nicer’ areas of Amsterdam west, but I think we really let the communities that live around mercatorplein and on the edge of kinkerstraat down with un-loved buildings and spaces. I believe making the space more attractive, green, and cultural will foster a more friendly atmosphere to the people living there and for visitors.

Zeker voor vergroenen van mercatorplein en omgeving een grote must! Zowel winkelstraat (Jan evertsenstraat) als het plein zelf zou gekeken moeten worden hoe het er minder "vervallen" uit zou kunnen zien. Met goed schilderwerk, winkeliers aanspreken op het schoonhouden van stoep, winkelraam & uithangborden/gevel winkel...samen met veel meer groen en bankjes, kom je al een heel eind!
