QR-code against Tervuren’s bike theft plague?
Tervuren is handing out free stickers with a QR code to counter ongoing bike theft. All Tervurenaars need to do is pass by the reception at De Zevenster or the police office. But will the sticker really help combat bike theft?
Date for Tervuren’s Vier-Armen cycle bridge
The cycle and pedestrian bridge over Vier-Armen is now expected to be placed over the weekend of 21-22 September. Logistics will be easier that weekend as Brussels holds a car-free day on Sunday 22 September. And the 290 ton bridge is expected to be officially opened towards the end of October, once all works are completed.
Tervuren’s summer festivals continue
