Rooseveltlaan

The Rooseveltlaan in Amsterdam's Rivierenbuurt is a poplar-lined avenue that stands out from its neighbors because it has no wide median. Originally known as Zuider Amstellaan, it was renamed in 1946 in honor of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Part of the street is protected as a municipal monument. Since 2018, flower beds referencing the "Four Freedoms" have decorated the corner at Maasstraat. Streetcars have run along the avenue since the 1930s, with the tracks laid down the middle of the roadway. You'll find a green, historic thoroughfare in the south of the city.
