Vienna plans comprehensive cycle path offensive: security for pedalists!

Leopoldauer Straße, 1210 Wien, Österreich - The City of Vienna sets a big sign for cycling: in the 21st district, Floridsdorf, a comprehensive cycle path offensive starts to significantly improve the safety and attractiveness of cycling. As Today.at , the mobility committee will decide in December the construction of an approximately 1.3-kilometer-long installation cycle path along Leopoldauer Straße. This measure, which is implemented in two phases, is scheduled to begin in the coming year and offers a emphatic connection for cyclists between important roads and facilitates commuting and leisure trial.

Expansion of the wheel infrastructure

In the next two years, the main cycle path network in Floridsdorf will be expanded by about 6.6 kilometers, including new two-direction cycle paths on Floridsdorfer Hauptstraße and Prague Straße. The Floridsdorfer Hauptstraße in particular is transformed into an avenue, which not only improves the cycling infrastructure, but also contributes to the greening of the surroundings. According to bicyclewien.at , around 50 new trees are planted along the main street, which contribute to improving the microclimate in the city.

In addition, a "climate gay" will be created, which runs through the district from the Danube field to Lower Austria and is supposed to create an environmentally friendly connection. These developments show that the city tour not only plans traffic infrastructure, but also wants to significantly improve the quality of life in the outdoor districts through more green areas and secure bike paths. Particularly noteworthy is the securing of the distances between motorized and non -motorized road users, a concern that is emphasized both by the mobility councilor Ulli Sima and the district head Georg Papai.
