1 Stationsomgeving Diksmuide

2 Introduction Dynamic seamless interchange in Diksmuide: introduction Diksmuide: small sized medieval town inhabitants including the inhabitants of the 15 small villages forming greater Diksmuide - in the region Westhoek - along the river IJzer borders with the muncipalities/cities Koekelare, Lo-Reninge, Alveringem,Veurne, Kortemark, Houthulst, Nieuwpoort and Middelkerke

3 Diksmuide : maps Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: introduction

4 Main access possibilities Seamless dynamic interchange Diksmuide: introduction By car: A18/E40 via Nieuwpoort or Middelkerke By bus: call bus for the rural villages By train: on the line Leuven Brussels Ghent De Panne (1 train/hour) By waterway: along the river IJzer Opportunity: tram extension Koksijde Veurne + train link Diksmuide Veurne: improved connection Diksmuide coast (supplementary service to bus connection)

5 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: current situation Station View of bus station Bus station building Fallow ground between bus station and depot

6 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: following application form Accessibility Sub platform access Adjust train platform heights Relocation of the bus platforms Raise the passengers comfort Integrated real time information Integrated passenger transfer logistics Economic impact study Study how the investments in the railway station area attract new public and private investments Sustainability Low carbon multimodal interchange infrastructure

7 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: masterplan Tendering procedure to develop a masterplan for the railway station area of Diksmuide NV Plantec appointed by the executive board (Mayor and Alderman) on Masterplan finalized on Masterplan approved by executive board on

8 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: Masterplan, aireal view

9 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: to be included in Masterplan Multimodal interchange Focus on easy access & seamless changing between modes Remove height differences between platform height and public realm: steps and ramps Footpath between platform 2 + car park & station building + platform 1 Crossing train & bus platforms: at road level

10 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: to be included in masterplan Relation with surrounding area Swimming pool: will be demolished Station building: only ticket office rest without function & unused Unused quay for loading & unloading: unused obstacle between platform and bus station Existing bicycle shed: obsolete, needs a better position for seamless interchange

11 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: masterplan concept

12 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: concept development City park environment Develop green slow link between city parks and interchange area Dwellings instead of swimming pool Depot De Lijn Access through main road along new bus station Green buffer zone New hybrid building With underground parking Ground floor: offices, shops, services De Lijn Dwellings with view on bus station square or city park 4 to 5 levels high

13 Bus station square Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: concept development Platforms along an island square static stops Focus on easy access and clear walking directions Ground level access between station building bus square platforms High quality shelters for passengers Bus square with raised plant boxes to be used as seats Grass, solitary trees, bulbs Strong green character Place to meet

14 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: concept development Bortierlaan (access to station building) Fallow ground NMBS integrated in the public realm Green zone divided in garden rooms (hedges) and with seats New bicycle shed Other side railway tracks Car park (150 cars) Trees to green the area New bicycle shed

15 Masterplan

16 Motorized traffic Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: traffic circulation Main roads remain accessible from both sides New junction at the new hybrid building Bus traffic: Busses drive clockwise around the bus square New entrance to depot New exit from depot under new hybrid building Road along bus square: only for busses and bicycles

17 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: traffic circulation Slow traffic Existing regional bicycle path locally used as pedestrian/bicycle connection between different city areas Pedestrians Subway access under the train tracks Via foot path along the tracks to the crossing (ground floor) Interchange bus - train Seamless, at ground level, clear walking lines Island bus square: visible connection with city parks Improved accesssibility to platform 1 through changes at Bortierlaan and by demolishing quay for loading/unloading

18 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: Bortierlaan

19 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: Bortierlaan Bortierlaan: important changes to improve accessibility and image Car park space along the buildings Road becomes a lane with trees and plant boxes Square zone with foot path towards platform 1 (description: slide 14)

20 Other side of the tracks Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: Bortierlaan Regional bicycle path (see slide 17) Foot path from platform 2 to car park and to station, platform 1, bicycle shed and public realm Bortierlaan Bicycle sheds Glass walls to raise control and security Design compatible with area Greening of the area Buffers to smoothe away height differences and hide back parts of developments Car park with tree rows Low green elements between bycicle connection and platforms or roads to secure openess and overview

21 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: bus square

22 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: bus station square Bus station square: mobility function Strong waiting function Strong transit function (connection to other city parts e.g. city park) Part of the city identity: it is a square with the function that comes with it Busses drive clockwise High quality shelters along 3 sides of the square At the connection between station building and bus square: marked crossing for the busses

23 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: bus station square Bus station square: urban function Bus station square = city square Connection with city parks Large raised plant boxes with grass to be used as e.g. sunbathing or picnic area Long benches Other green like solitary trees, bulbs but without obstructing visibility & overview

24 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: negotiations with De Lijn & NMBS

25 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: negotiations with De Lijn & NMBS Long and difficult process Still ongoing NMBS part in Diksmuide delayed until 2018 for budgettary reasons no more negotiation possible Raise the height of the platforms Subway access adaptation Footways along the tracks towards the main road

26 Seamless dynamic interchange in Diksmuide: can be realized in Sintropher Bus station and bus station square New platforms (adjusted height) Shelters with photovoltaic roof Blind persons guidance for the bus station Real time information for busses Bicycle shelter with photovoltaic roof Improved connections between train and new bus station & the subway access under the platforms together with the demolition of the quay for loading/unloading
