Hunzestraat - Amsterdam (Netherlands)

Hunzestraat 30/05/2021 14h22
Forgotten tram tracks in the Rivierenbuurt of the old tram line number 25. This tram line from the President Kennedylaan via Rijnstraat, Churchilllaan, Ferdinand Bolstraat, Vijzelstraat, Rokin and Damrak to Centraal Station was discontinued on 14/12/2013 and this terminus was abondoned. Catenary has been dismantled and most of the tracks has been removed since then, except parts on the President Kennedylaan, Hunzestraat and Uiterwaardenstraat. These tracks are telling the story of 83 years of history of tramline 25 in this neighbourhood.
More than 7 years these tracks are not in use anymore and they are still there. They will be removed when the street will be reconstructed and repaved.

Rivierenbuurt
Rivierenbuurt is a neighbourhood of Amsterdam, Netherlands. The neighbourhood is situated in the eastern part of the borough of Amsterdam-Zuid, bordered by the river Amstel to the east, the Boerenwetering canal in the west, the Amstelkanaal in the north and the A10 motorway in the south. In 2013, the Rivierenbuurt had approximately 28,400 residents.
The Rivierenbuurt was built in the 1920s as a primarily middle-class residential area, part of the Plan Zuid urban expansion programme designed by Dutch architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage. The neighbourhood features many fine examples of Amsterdam School architecture. The Dutch word Rivierenbuurt translates as 'Rivers Neighbourhood', which refers to the fact that most streets in the area are named after rivers in the Netherlands.
Until World War II the area had a sizable Jewish population which included Anne Frank and her family, who lived at Merwedeplein square until they went into hiding in the secret annex located in the old city centre.
The neighbourhood is served by tram routes 4 and 12, bus routes 62 and 65, as well as Amsterdam metro and national rail services from Amstel Station and Zuid Station.
