In the Hillesluis district of Rotterdam, plans to upgrade the Beijerlandselaan to meet modern accessibility standards face delays due to a lack of available budget. Alderman Sabine Biesheuvel noted that while the street currently meets outdated guidelines, full compliance requires a larger-scale approach. 

The municipality is managing maintenance through existing teams and communicating with the transport company RET regarding infrastructure under their ownership. Major upgrades will likely be deferred until larger maintenance projects are scheduled. 

Other local infrastructure developments are also in progress, including a preliminary design for the Beijerlandsepassage and plans for the Kokerstraat and Polderlaan areas, which include reserving funds for additional parking during the redevelopment of Wapenstraat and Schildstraat.
