To Amsterdam North: with Bridge, tunnel or cable car?
The popularity of Amsterdam North leads to increasingly crowded ferries that the growing number of pedestrians and cyclists over the river IJ. The North/South line should be in 2017 for a better connection. Only Northern park to the new Leeuwarderweg station is too far away for the trendy shore on the north side. The city of Amsterdam presents Friday night 77 plans to the IJ-shores better connect with each other. A few of the ideeënbak:
1 Station Sixhaven although it would be just a stone's throw from the metro station at Amsterdam Central, but by the crowds on the shore seems to be a drive to the Marina Sixhaven the most obvious solution. The intention for a third drive in North was deleted in 2003, because when it was thought that there are too few travelers would get in and out. The arrival of film museum alone Eye and music venue the tolhuistuin proven quickly that this was a misjudgment. In the construction of the subway tunnel is also taken into account a station at Sixhaven.
2 Put one or more bridges to Bridge over the river IJ. Suggested is to build and one behind the CS at the stone head. Or just pull the Jan Schaefer bridge on Java island. Pedestrians, cyclists, cars and even trams would about the 6 to 10 metres high bridges can. At the KNSM island would be a retractable bridge can be built so shipping not affected by the bridge. If necessary, there may be a floating bridge, which can give way to huge cruise ships.
3 electric four day conceived by a Amsterdammer after a trip to Venice. This boat can pick up people day and night on the canals and drop off at North, and vice versa of course. With the four solar panels on the roof would also completely green.
4 more ferries all ferry services on the river IJ are now going to and from the cs. but there would, of course, as more lines to the head of the Java island and the stone head.
5 cable car at about 100 meters above the river IJ via a cable car to and from North. The bike can with it, and you have a super view also. A cable car over the river IJ would certainly become a tourist attraction of vengeance. Question is though: it is not too busy? And you would have to pay for a crossing?
6 Just under the IJ Tunnel by through a tunnel to North, on foot or by bike. In Antwerp is also such a thing in the river Scheldt. Via an escalator or elevator down the CS you go on, and in the same way at the tolhuistuin up.
