Residents asked to help shape walking routes and footpaths
The Municipality of Zaanstad wants everyone who walks to be able to move around the streets easily, regardless of age or disability. That is why we have created the Action Plan for Accessibility and Accessibility for Pedestrians. As part of this plan, we are compiling a list of locations where we want to improve footpaths and walking routes in Zaanstad. Your experience is crucial in this process.
One of the actions involves creating a list of locations where footpaths and walking routes can be improved. Your experience plays a key role in this.
Why your experience is so important
Everyone has different experiences. Perhaps you walk to work, the supermarket, or public transport every day. Maybe you often go out with children. Or you use a walker, wheelchair, or mobility scooter and encounter difficult spots along the way.
Because everyone experiences Zaanstad differently, we highly value your feedback. This helps us identify which locations truly need attention and how we can improve them.
Share your input via map or questionnaire
You can share your experiences, wishes, and suggestions for improvement in two ways:
- Via the online ‘Pin on the Map’ tool
- Via the online questionnaire
You can submit your feedback until 27 April 2026. We will use your responses to determine where improvements are needed.
