Cycle route along Schipholweg (N232) one step closer
A cycle route (F232) will be created along the Schipholweg (N232) between Haarlem and Amstelveen.
The existing cycle path will be widened and moved further away from the carriageway. Lighting will also be improved. The parallel roads in Lijnden and Boesingheliede will be modified. This will make cycling safer and more comfortable.
On March 23, the Province of North Holland and the Municipality of Haarlemmermeer signed a cooperation agreement. The plan, which residents have helped shape, can now be further developed.
Safe and comfortable cycle routes
The cycle path is part of the network of cycle routes in North Holland, which connects towns and villages. Destinations such as workplaces and shopping locations will be more accessible for cyclists, even for longer distances of up to 15 kilometers. In addition, traffic safety and cycling comfort will improve.
Next steps
On March 23, the Province of North Holland and the Municipality of Haarlemmermeer signed an agreement in which they acknowledge the importance of realising the cycle route and the collaboration involved. The Amsterdam Transport Region is supporting the project with a subsidy.
The preliminary design for the cycle path along the N232 will be further developed into a final design. After that, permits will be applied for and finances arranged. Once these are in place, construction of the cycle path is expected to begin in 2030.
