The acting General Mayor of the Capital, Stelian Bujduveanu, announced that the Velo Master Plan has been completed and will soon be submitted to the General Council for debate.
The plan foresees, by the year 2035, 150 km of primary routes, 415 km of secondary routes, bike racks, parking facilities, as well as 'clear' regulations and 'safe and well-structured' routes, Bujduveanu wrote on Facebook on Wednesday.
"I believe that Bucharest must become a city for people, not for cars. A city where you can move easily, safely and freely, including by bicycle. That's why, for me, the completion of the Velo Master Plan is an important moment.
After months of work, consultations and debates, the document is ready, and I will soon submit it to the General Council of the Municipality of Bucharest for approval.
The Velo Master Plan proposes a coherent network of bike lanes that will connect homes to workplaces, schools, institutions and commercial areas. It's infrastructure designed as an integrated part of urban development,' he said.
The creation of the network will be done through a collaboration between the City Hall and the six sector town halls. Once the Master Plan is approved by the General Council, feasibility studies will begin.
