Big walking and cycling demonstration against Dutch govt's plan to spend €1.5 billion to cut down more trees of our centuries old park #amelisweerd, and add a few lanes to highway A27. More traffic, more CO2, more pollution, more noise, and more congestion elsewhere. 
This is what was already done to #amelisweerd in the 1980s. Forty years later, in the middle of our growing climate crisis, govt plans to make matters worse, despite opposition by the city of Utrecht, the province, and the majority of the people. Irresponsible.
Tomorrow the A27 will be discussed in parliament. Coalition party @D66: Minister has not presented a solution to the additional nitrogen deposition (were already exceeding the limits), and she has not explained where the additional budget will come from:

Almost 2,000 people on their way from Utrecht to Rhijnauwen (#amelisweerd area) to show they don't want our money to be spent on widening the A27 there.
