Countries such as the Netherlands, where cycling has been part of everyday life for decades and cycling infrastructure is fully embedded in town planning, have now become the ultimate example of how to go about creating attractive and well function- ing cycling infrastructure. As one of the main Dutch bridge design offi ces, ipv Delft has focused on designing bicycle and pedestrian bridges for two decades. Their extensive experience in designing bicycle bridges prompted the Dutch technology platform for transport, infrastruc- ture and public space, CROW, to ask ipv Delft to write the Dutch design guide for cycling and pedestrian bridges, which was pub- lished in 2014. In recent years, ipv Delft received growing international atttention after completion of the renowned Hovenring, a circular cable- stayed bicycle bridge in the city of Eindhoven. When talking to professionals from the fi eld of bridge design and engineering in various countries, the Dutch designers found their knowledge and experience was something that could benefi t city councils, en- gineers and designers worldwide. This realisation led the fi rm to write an English summary of the Dutch Design Guide for Bicycle and Pedestrian bridges. This publication focuses on the fundamentals of bridge design, answering practical questions on bridge width and slope design. It also lists all things that should be taken into account before starting on the actual design, and it offers insight in the Dutch regulations regarding loads and collision forces. To illustrate the theoretical fundamentals, several of ipv Delft’s projects are shown and discussed. General advice on cost reduction is also included, making this publication a vital source of practical information and bridge design inspiration. < Tanerij Bridge, Zwolle 5 1 CONTEXT Once the decision to build a new bicycle or pedestrian bridge has been made, it is key to assess all preferences, requirements, and regulations. Each location also has its own qualities, parties in- volved, and (im)possibilities. Listing all things that could be relevant to the bridge design is the fi rst step towards building the best pos- sible bridge. It may also reveal contradictions or possible confl icts of interest. Among the things to assess are subsurface conditions, under- ground infrastructure, and existing development plans. Future developments need to be taken into account as well, for instance when the new bridge crosses a two lane road that in future will be expanded into a four lane road. The location itself can also have a large impact on the bridge design. Spatial integration could be challenging, especially when building a bridge in a busy and complex built environment such as inner cities. This chapter will therefore also take a closer look at the main site-specifi c characteristics that could infl uence the design, namely existing infrastructure and site adjustment. In order for the project to succeed, it is vital to have the support of all stakeholders involved. Ask for their opinions right from the start and keep them involved in the project as it unfolds. As this chapter only briefl y points out all aspects that can be rel- evant (illustrated with pictures and real life examples), it can best be used as a checklist. < Bicycle underpass, Haarlem 7 Figure 1.1 Pedestrian bridge Waalwijk Participation of locals lead to a design that refers to the site’s railway history Figure 1.2 Bicycle bridge Heerhugowaard Businesses remain clearly visible due to slender bridge design and transparant railing Figure 1.3 Hilversums Kanaal bicycle bridge Newly built bicycle bridge respects existing historically signifi cant road bridge 8 1.1 LOCAL RESIDENTS • Is participation desirable? (Fig. 1.1) • Is there a risk of noise nuisance? If so: can this be prevented? • Is there a risk that the bridge will have a negative infl uence on residents’ views from their homes? If so: can this be prevented? • Is there a risk that the bridge invades residents ‘privacy? If so: can this be prevented? 1.2 COMMERCIAL PARTIES • Could the bridge have a negative infl uence on the visibility of a nearby company? If so: can this be prevented? (Fig. 1.2) • Does the situation offer any co-fi nancing opportunities? 1.3 OWNERSHIP • Is there an inventory of the ownership of nearby parcels? If so: does it offer potential confl ict or possibilities? 1.4 PLANNING • Does the location have signifi cant historical meaning? (Fig. 1.3) • What function(s) should the bridge fulfi l? • Does social safety require extra attention? • Are there sightlines that need to be preserved? • What new opportunities does the site offer? (Fig. 1.5.) • Does lighting require extra attention? • Is there a zoning map? If so: does it contradict building a bridge? If so: can the zoning map be altered? If so: look into what needs to be done. • Is there a site plan or development plan for the site? • Are there any plans to possibly expand or adjust existing infra- structure on site in the (near) future? • Which regulations apply? 9 1.5 ROAD OR WATERWAY PASSING • Is there a nearby turn or corner in the road or navigable water- way? (Fig. 1.4.) If so: try to refrain from intermediate supports. • Should that be impossible, make sure the supports do not ob- struct views and place them as far apart as possible. • Are there nearby traffi c lights? If so: make sure the bridge does not obstruct motorist’s views of the traffi c lights. (Fig. 1.6) • Also: ensure motorists notice traffi c lights in time to safely re- duce speed and stop. 1.6 ECOLOGY • Is the site part of an ecological zone? If so: consult an ecologist. • Does any type of vegetation at the site require extra care or at- tention (such as preservation)? • Does any type of animal at the site require extra care or atten- tion (such as preservation)? Do any trees need to be preserved or replanted? Figure 1.4 Motorists sightlines Clear sightlines require extended span over curved road 10 Figure 1.5 Ulft bicycle and pedestrian bridge Curved layout offers room for benches, adding a function to the bridge Figure 1.6 Unobstructed view of traffi c lights 11 Positioning It will sometimes be necessary to opt for another location or a slightly different positioning of the bridge. When the proposed lo- cation is right next to a busy intersection, it can be a better option to place the bridge away from the intersection by several meters. On other occasions, a relatively simple adjustment to the site such as lowering the road underneath (Fig. 1.7) or moving the connect- ing bicycle path might make a big difference to the viability of the project. 1.7 SUBSURFACE • Has a land survey been done? • Are there any vibration vulnerable buildings nearby? • Has a soil survey been done? • Is calculation of load factors for embankments necessary? • Are there any factors that might infl uence planning? • Is the soil possibly polluted? • Is soil excavation necessary? If so: start necessary procedures, apply for clean up order et cetera. 1.8 INFRASTRUCTURE • Is there an underground utility map? If so: is it recent and likely to be accurate? • Should the utility company be contacted? • Are there any underground cables or pipelines that (might) pre- vent the bridge from being built on this particular location? If so: make an inventory of the possibilities. • Are there any overhead power lines nearby? If so: be aware to earth steel structures and check if inspection is required (Fig. 1.9). • Does the proposed bridge cross any type of railway? If so: look into the specifi c requirements of building across a railway. 1.9 MAINTENANCE • What is the bridge’s required structural lifetime? • Has a maintenance budget been set for the bridge? • Does the city council have a maintenance management plan? • Are there any special desires regarding the bridge’s mainte- nance, such as low or no maintenance? 12 Figure 1.7 Hovenring Lowering the intersection underneath allowed for comfortable slopes Figure 1.8 Nesselande Bridges Overhead power lines meant the steel bridges had to be earthed Figure 1.9 Nesselande Bridges Close-up of earthing system applied 13 14 2 USERS Knowing who will be using the bridge is key to a good design, as is the predicted traffi c fl ow.

Wandelnetwerk Noord-Holland DE VINEX VAN HEERHUGOWAARD

Wandelnetwerk Noord-Holland DE VINEX VAN HEERHUGOWAARD Veel water en groen in de vinexwijken van Heerhugowaard. Tekst en foto’s Joop Duijs e rijkste 1% van de wereldbevolking bezit de helft van alle rijkdom op deze aarde. Ja, laat dat maar even tot u D doordringen… Van alle tijden, deze hemeltergende ongelijkheid. Zo’n vierhonderd jaar geleden leefden de rijken van ons land ook al in de Grachtengordel van Amsterdam. Ze verdienden hun gigantische kapitaal met de VOC en zochten naar allerlei manieren om hun geld te investeren om zodoende nog rijker te worden. Met hun geld werden niet alleen de Schermer en Beemster drooggemalen, ook de Waert werd leeggepompt met de bedoeling er landbouwgrond van te maken. Maar in tegenstelling tot de Schermer en Beemster was de grond van de Heerhugowaard, zoals de drooggevallen polder werd genoemd, zo arm dat er zelfs serieus is overwogen de polder weer te laten vollopen zodat er dan in ieder geval met visvangst nog wat geld kon worden verdiend. De paden van het Waarderhout zijn van nieuw zand voorzien. nno nu zijn de Schermer en Beemster nog steeds groene oases met rechte vaarten en wegen, terwijl A Heerhugowaard een van de drukste bevolkte gebieden is van Noord-Holland. Om die vinexwijken eens te ‘beleven’ reizen we naar het Coolplein, het horecadeel van winkelcentrum Middenwaard, het grootste overdekte winkelcentrum boven het Noordzeekanaal waar we beginnen aan een leuk, 12 ½ kilometer lang ommetje. Er wordt er wel eens smalend gedaan over al die op elkaar lijkende nieuwbouw, maar de wijken doorwandelend lijkt het bepaald geen straf in Heerhugowaard te moeten wonen.

The History of the Wheel and Bicycles

NOW & THE FUTURE THE HISTORY OF THE WHEEL AND BICYCLES COMPILED BY HOWIE BAUM OUT OF THE 3 BEST INVENTIONS IN HISTORY, ONE OF THEM IS THE WHEEL !! Evidence indicates the wheel was created to serve as potter's wheels around 4300 – 4000 BCE in Mesopotamia. This was 300 years before they were used for chariots. (Jim Vecchi / Corbis) METHODS TO MOVE HEAVY OBJECTS BEFORE THE WHEEL WAS INVENTED Heavy objects could be moved easier if something round, like a log was placed under it and the object rolled over it. The Sledge Logs or sticks were placed under an object and used to drag the heavy object, like a sled and a wedge put together. Log Roller Later, humans thought to use the round logs and a sledge together. Humans used several logs or rollers in a row, dragging the sledge over one roller to the next. Inventing a Primitive Axle With time, the sledges started to wear grooves into the rollers and humans noticed that the grooved rollers actually worked better, carrying the object further. The log roller was becoming a wheel, humans cut away the wood between the two inner grooves to create what is called an axle. THE ANCIENT GREEKS INVENTED WESTERN PHILOSOPHY…AND THE WHEELBARROW CHINA FOLLOWED 400 YEARS AFTERWARDS The wheelbarrow first appeared in Greece, between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE. It was found in China 400 years later and then ended up in medieval Europe. Although wheelbarrows were expensive to purchase, they could pay for themselves in just 3 or 4 days in terms of labor savings.
