Subject: Invitation to information meeting on Rhijnspoor electricity substation
Date: March 28th 2025
Dear resident or business owner,
We are pleased to invite you to an information meeting on the upgrade of the electricity substation at Deymanstraat 5, Amsterdam, to be held on the evening of Wednesday 16 April 2025.
What will this information meeting be about?
During this meeting we will inform you about how the project has progressed since the previous meeting on 2 October 2024. In the neighbourhood survey conducted after that meeting people asked questions and made suggestions relating to the design. The design suggestions for the electricity substation arising from the neighbourhood survey were passed on to the architect. If you attend the next meeting, you will be able to talk to the architect and give your reactions to the draft design. The architect will talk you through the design choices that were made and the reasons behind them. Lastly, we will look ahead at the schedule and there will be an opportunity for discussion.
