A key part is this intervention is the diverse experiences along the line and the possiblity to link to different slow and fast routes. Each stop has its own character and will affect the type of activities that occur in its vicinity. DEN
HAAG
Most of Westland’s cities and villages are along this line, connecting their residents to Den Haag and Rotterdam by public transport. Given the spread out nature of the horticultural businesses in the area it is not possible to link them all to public transport. However some of the area’s biggest employers are along this line such as the flower auction house FloraHolland. The proposed Westland Food Knowledge Centre is an important stop on this line. As a centre to stregthen and promote Westland nationally and internationaly as a horticultural knowledge cluster, we think it is important that it is well connected by public transport. Finally this line also connects passengers with green routes in this region. It is free to take a bicycle on board, making it easier to access green recreational areas.
