Bucharest City Hall orders study for 100 km bike lanes

The Bucharest City Hall has started the procedure to acquire a feasibility study on the construction of 100-km long bicycle lanes. About EUR 73 million were allocated for the construction of bike lanes under the Integrated Urban Development Plan (PIDU), said Bucharest mayor Gabriela Firea. Some EUR 2 million have been allocated for this year. The project is eligible to get EU funding. The 2016-2030 Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan provides the construction of 250 kilometers of bike lanes, with 12 priority projects of 60 km to be implemented in the short term. The estimated total value for the 250 km of bike lanes is EUR 50 million. editor@romania-insider.com
