Drug user bus won't move to Linnaeusstraat: Dapperbuurt's vulnerability not sufficiently considered

The Amsterdam-Oost district government has reversed its decision to move a drug consumption bus to Linnaeusstraat following protests from residents and business owners in the Dapperbuurt. Officials acknowledged that the initial plan failed to account for the neighborhood's existing social vulnerabilities and lacked proper community consultation. A new location for the bus is currently being sought while it remains near the OLVG hospital.
