Open evening for through-cycle route Nijkerk-Nunspeet
Municipalities in the Noord-Veluwe region and the province of Gelderland are collaborating on a safe and pleasant cycling environment. They are exploring a new through-cycle route connecting the towns of Nijkerk, Putten, Ermelo, Harderwijk, Hierden, Hulshorst, and Nunspeet. A through-cycle route is a comfortable, wide, recognizable, and direct cycling path that effectively links larger towns in the region.
Over the past period, a preferred route has been selected, partly based on feedback from residents. A concept sketch design has been created for this preferred route. We would like to hear your opinion on it so we can further improve the design.
