Redevelopment of Felixwei in Stiens
Felixwei in Stiens is due for major maintenance. The asphalt is worn down, so we will be taking care of this street. In doing so, we will also look at ways to make the street safer and more orderly, especially around the CBS De Sprankel primary school.
What will change
We will work on Felixwei from the intersection with Pim Mulierwei to the intersection with Hellasstrjitte, past CBS De Sprankel.
30 km/h zone
Felixwei is a 30 km/h zone, but this is not clear. That is why we will be making some changes:
- entrance/exit constructions at Pim Mulierwei and Hellasstrjitte;
- a smaller roadway, so cars will slow down;
- a raised plateau at Perzenstrjitte;
a school zone at CBS De Sprankel.
The school environment is currently busy and not orderly. Many parents drive into the street to find a place to park. This results in unsafe situations for cyclists and children. For that reason:
- Two real bumps will be installed at both ends of the school zone.
- Red asphalt will be laid for better recognition.
- Ten parking spaces across from house numbers 10 to 24 will be removed.
- Clear pedestrian crossings will be introduced.
- We will put up eye-catching coloured poles to increase the visibility of the school zone.
Parked car counts show that getting rid of 10 parking spaces should not cause any traffic problems. Fewer parking spaces means less traffic searching for parking and therefore more safety.
Trees
The trees will stay. They are in good health.
Pavements and driveways
- All pavements will be repaved and widened to 1.8 meters where necessary.
- Thick, solid tiles will be used for driveways.
Planning
We started construction on Felixwei after the summer of 2026. We have since finished the first part, between Pim Mulierwei and CBS De Sprankel.
We are still working on the paving and asphalt for the rest of the street. We are also making sure the verge looks good again. We expect to be done by mid-November 2026.
Sharing your thoughts and taking part in the conversation
At the start of the project, we talked to local residents and Plaatselijk Belang Stiens. We discussed whether Felixwei, in addition to maintenance, also needed a better and safer layout. The discussions revealed there was a need for this. That is why we drew up a design for a better and safer layout for this street.
We discussed the design with the Stiens Traffic Committee. Residents had the opportunity to ask questions and respond to the plans during a walk-in evening. No comments were made that necessitated changes to the design.
