Potgieterstraat is situated in inner Amsterdam, in a context of 19th century buildings dating back to the first big enlargement of Amsterdam. Amsterdam is world renowned for its walkability but this street in particular was heavily dominated with vehicle traffic. In addition, new bike lanes had infortunately infringed upon the sidewalk rather than the vehicluar lanes.(1)
Carve Landscape Architects' response was to create a "Play Street" where the entire street was closed to all but bicycle and pedestrian traffic.
