Save the Zuyderzeedijk and save more than 200 million tax money!
The old seawall of Amsterdam to Hoorn will be taken unnecessary on the shovel. This 800 year-old dike, winding itself along towns and villages with a rich history is a beautiful provincial monument. The water board (HHNK) recently presented far-reaching reinforcement proposals for this dike.
Petition
We
All proponents of a safe dike and preservation of cultural and historical value
establish that:
• that the dike will be irreparably affected by massive excavating
• that there are risks for houses and roads because one builds on soft surface
• that a risk assessment is missing
• that new surveys show that the dike is much stronger than previously assessed
• that innovative solutions are not sufficiently examined
• HHNK together with Boskalis and others pass without regard to valuable cultural inheritance nor the interests of citizens
and request
To postpone the decision making process to examine properly
• the proposal of ex RWS-engineers Frank Spaargaren and Cees Vroege for a pumping station in the Houtribdijk - the wall between Enkhuizen and Lelystad
• proven strength over the entire length of the dike • innovative solutions
• for proper risk assessment
• for more public security and a monumental dike that largely remains intact.
