Woman breaks wrist after falling on collapsed sidewalk; municipality can only address it in 2027
Residents of Schoonegge in Rotterdam-Zuidwijk are concerned about the deteriorating condition of their sidewalk, where uneven and sunken tiles pose safety risks. Neighbor Hans Mulder reported that a woman broke her wrist after falling, describing the hazard as dangerous for elderly residents and those using mobility aids. Although multiple complaints have been filed with the municipality, large-scale repairs are not scheduled until 2027 due to complex root issues and contractor availability. The city acknowledges the problem but states that temporary fixes are insufficient given the scale of damage caused by tree roots.
