Dutch term
een boulevard met gesloten rooilijn
Dutch to English
Tech/Engineering
Architecture
Vanuit het kleinschalige middeleeuwse weefsel met meanderende stratenen korte zichten, verandert de typologie aan het Warandepark en de Brusselse vijfhoek in een statige boulevard met gesloten rooilijn en perspectiefzicht richting triomfboog
'with a closed building line'? I do not know whether anyone would say that and, if so, what it means.

a boulevard of neatly aligned buildings
We've had roolijn before:

I think the whole phrase means that the building line is strictly complied with, so that all the buildings front directly onto the street. This is contrasted with the narrow, jumbled medieval streets, where some buildings extend forwards and others recede, so you can never see very far into the distance.

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Phil. The only other thought that I had was that there was no gap between the buildings. |

: This is the right idea, but we wouldn't say this in English.
