A Tree on the Steenweg: A Step Towards More Cooling, Greenery, and Socializing

The Steenweg is a well-known shopping street in Utrecht. In this street, there is a lot of stone and almost no greenery. As a result, it is often very warm there, especially in summer.

Now the street has become a little greener. At the corner near Mariastraat, there is now a new tree with a bench around it. Today, people officially opened the tree and bench.

This way, people get more shade and can comfortably sit and chat. In this way, the street becomes more pleasant and beautiful to be in.
