We have 35.000 kilometers of bike lanes and it’s pretty much all interconnected. But you have to start somewhere, we didn’t get here overnight either.
This was announced in 2021, but I don't know how the current state of this project his. Moreover, since changing the streets in the city would be nearly impossible (traffic, locals against road works even if it's improving their quality of life, we Italians are moronic about these themes) I'm afraid those "bike lanes" will be something like this.
This is the sort of competition we need, and it goes to show how incredibly cheap cycling infrastructure is compared to car infrastructure.
They're going to try to get it done in 13 years? That's impressive!
Our regional cycling plan has historically added 1 to 11km of new cycling infrastructure every year... under 40km of new cycling infrastructure from 2012 to 2019. 😵 Milan put up nearly that many temporary cycling lanes in 2020 alone!
Amazing. Montreal has built 900 km over the past decade and it's changed it for the better.
They also need to build way more public transport. In one of the most corrupt European countries though? I wish them good luck!
