road – and the Tunnellaan – the car adaptation to the chaussee road system
of Linkeroever. Both of these east-west oriented roads were used as the basis
of Linkeroever’s current grid structure. And as we go further to the east, we
see that this grid structure also starts to become visible in the landscape, in the
earlier mentioned grid of Tophat, and the north-south axis extending from the
ring exit on Linkeroever, that is going to be picked-up as a bicycle highway in
the ring project. When looking for a border for the development of Linkeroever,
this axis might be a suitable candidate, as a, perhaps natural extension of
Linkeroever’s grid structure, combined with it being the divider of the ecological/functional
nature from the previous section.
