Demolition of the Stadsbalkon in front of Groningen’s main station is scheduled to begin in 2027 as part of plans for a new green station square. Alderman Rik van Niegenhuis announced the plans.

Work on a bicycle tunnel or bicycle facility beneath the station is also due to start after the demolition. The reports disagree on when it will be accessible or completed: one says it will be accessible from 2028, while the other says completion is not expected until 2032. The new station square is planned for completion in 2032.
