“Regulating the tunnel is not enough, you have to solve the surface problems”, then deplored, in early 2023, Ahmed Laaouej (PS). The Mayoral scarf having been passed to Olivia P’tito, the speech has not changed. “”It does not make sense to activate the radar-tronçon if there is no surface security development“, Indicates the Mayoral cabinet, which insists on the support of the college of the Brussels-Ouest police zone.
Olivia P’tito’s team requests that interventions be carried out on Boulevard Léopold II to secure the premises. A possible zone 30 is mentioned.
Among the Greens, this argument has often been presented as a pretext not to activate the device. A criticism that the Koekelbergeois socialists sweep, ensuring “look for the point of balance “ in terms of mobility.
One thing is certain: the redevelopment of the Boulevard Léopold II is not planned in the short term. What is more in the absence of a full -service government.

“A miracle that there has never been any death“
Koekelberg’s position as for the radar is supported by Ganshoren. “”I have no ideological problem to activate this radar. But we do not want this to create a postponement of rodeos on the surface “comments the mayor Jean-Paul van Laethem (Le), who pleads for a security of the surface and in particular the entrance to the tunnel. “There are two schools. It is a real security problem. It is a miracle that there has never been any death.”
Currently, the Brussels region has seven radars sections: Hal Porte Tunnel, Tunnel Stéphanie, boulevard Léopold III, avenue Jules Bordet, Quai de Mariemont, quai Demets et Chaussée de Gand (Berchem side).
