Brussels, (Brussels Morning)- The Flemish government has chosen a scenario for widening the Ring and calls on the Brussels government for constructive consultation. “Brussels has been asking for such a consultation for some time,” said MP Arnaud Verstraete (Green) to BRUZZ. “But we also want to tackle the cause of the traffic jams. This can be done via a kilometre charge, but the Flemish government does not even want to have it investigated.”
The press release that the cabinet of competent Flemish minister Lydia Peeters just sent out about the widening of the Ring – and the associated government decision of two weeks earlier – came out of the blue for the Brussels government on Friday.
“If there are new proposals, we will of course look at them,” said Marie Thibaut, the spokeswoman for Elke Van den Brandt (Groen), the Brussels minister of Mobility and Public Works.
