In the Rivieroevers programme, the municipality of Rotterdam, together with all kinds of partners in the city, is giving the Nieuwe Maas, Rotte and Schie rivers a boost. Running, a bit of fishing, strolling through the greenery, grabbing a terrace or lying in the grass. Rotterdam’s rivers are becoming even more attractive, natural and alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The platform with steps and seating at Grotekerkplein is the first in a series of bank modifications along the Rotte. This will allow visitors to the city park to sit closer to the water. Also, canoes and other small boats can moor more easily. The Grotekerkplein is part of the sailing route network on the Rotte. Using this network, a route across the water is easy to plot. The platform in the Delftsevaart (offshoot of the Rotte river) is 45 metres long and offers at least 11 moorings for single canoes and sloops.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Ambition and objectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Based on the various themes as described in Programme River Banks, places such as the Grote Kerkplein have been assessed for their relevance to the Rotte as a whole. Together, these themes bring into focus the main synergy opportunities for each site. Here, a distinction is made between 2 types of preconditions; the opportunities in terms of continuity and placemaking; and in addition to that, the opportunities for water, ecology and greening are depicted. The quays of the Rotte will initially be provided with the Rotte capping beams at key locations. The remaining quays retain their masonry quay with a brick coping course. In the north of the Rotte, a natural bank is applied where the profile allows.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      More visitors to the city park will soon be able to sit on the waterfront. Canoes and boats can easily moor at the lower platform. The Grotekerkplein is part of the sailing route network on the Rotte, specifically for canoes. The approach to the quay at Grotekerkplein is the first in a series of adjustments to the quays along the Rotte.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
