阿姆斯特丹正在建设一条新的南北走向的地方铁路线。这条线路从中央车站开始，沿着穿过阿姆斯特丹北部的主干公路Nieuwe Leeuwardenweg一路向南。北阿姆斯特丹市议会提出将公路和铁路线建在现在的地平面以下，以便减少交通噪声，改善线路对视野的影响。

A new local railway line, the North-South line, is being construct- ed in Amsterdam. Starting from the Central Station the track follows the Nieuwe Leeuwarderweg, an arterial road through the northern parts of Amsterdam. The Amsterdam-North City Council seized this opportunity to reduce traffic noise and the visual im- pact of the line, by lowering the road and the railway line below the existing ground level. In 2003 the City Council chose the competition design of West 8 for the transformation of the urban landscape into a new central park. It is to be one of the key green pockets of Amsterdam that functions as a central meeting point, with spaces that can be used for large gatherings and functions.
