The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has announced that it is in the process of implementing the ‘Cycling as an Alternative Transport’ project.
According to the civic authority, over 146 KM of dedicated cycling lanes will be developed all over the federal capital under this project. It aims to reduce carbon footprint and traffic congestion through this project.
CDA further stated that a protected path will enable female and senior citizens to use this track. According to details, the bicycle lanes will be built around Islamabad in three phases, scheduled to be completed by February 2025.
Initially, during February and March next year, the authority plans to build bicycle lanes along Jinnah Avenue, Margalla Road, G-7, and G-6. In the second phase, the rest of the 14 sectors and major avenues of Islamabad will be getting bicycling lanes from May to November.
In the final phase of the project, planned between December 2024 to February 2025, bicycle lanes will be constructed along the Srinagar Highway and Islamabad Expressway (up till PWD).
Moreover, the authority also plans to introduce electric bikes in the final phase. The authority will partner with a private company to provide electric bikes for rent at 72 locations throughout the city.
All electric bikes will travel through signal-free roads in a separate lane at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour. According to Member Technology and Digitization, the project will be completed at a total cost of Rs. 1.5 billion.
CDA has prepared a PC-I in this regard, and the CDA board will deliberate on the matter in its meeting scheduled for tomorrow. The PC-I highlighted the frequent use of public transport by the residents of Islamabad, and the benefits of the project.
Kuch Farak nahi parna; Karachi Seaview ke cycle-only lane pe motorcycle parked hoti, log picnic kar rahay hotay aur thelay kharay hotay
Bhai yeh karachi nahin hay. In Islamabad the administration is not under a saeen
بھئی یہ اسلام آباد ھے کرانچی نہیں ھے جہاں الگ ھی مخلوق رھتی ھے جن میں گندی پھیلانے، ھر غلط کام کرنے اور اپنے شہر کو تباہ کرنے کا مقابلہ چل رھا ھے. اسلام آباد میں جو آتا ھے اس میں آھستہ آھستہ تمیز آھی جاتی ھے اور وہ شہر کو اون کرنے لگتا ھے تو یہ مقابلہ ھی غلط ھے.
اسلام آباد میں ھمیشہ سے جاگنگ ٹریک، کھیل کے میدان قائم و دائم ھیں
بھائی آپ غور کرو اسلام آباد کی بات کر رہے ہو یا یورپ کے کسی شہر کی؟ کتنی تباہی دکھاوں؟ باقی چھوڑو اگر لیک ویو پارک کو شروع میں دیکھا تھا تو ایمان سے بتانا اب کی حالت دیکھ کے رونا آتا ہے یا نہیں؟
Islamabad kabhi ana per pata chala ga apko Karachi or Islamabad ma katna farak hai
Ye Islamabad hai Karachi nahi bhai
Kabi islamabad aaen gae tu pata chalay ga k karachi aur islamabad mae kia fark hai,
A good news
Very nice initi5
Funny 🤣
زیادہ مت ھنس بھائی.. گیس خارج نہ ھو جائے
PLEASE!!! No one cares about these western adaptations… Try and start with the basics atleast… Spend this money on education or healthcare, may be?
Please first think of lawless reckless bike riders we are unable to control theses reckless create a lane for them first then think of bike I am sure only few may use cycle lane this lane will be big relief for car drivers
It is a great news that CDA is giving some importance to senior citizens and women,it is really appreciated. Kindly make walking paths on St 67 & 73 in F-11/1. Going to Masjid and walking on these streets are extremely dangerous, people are over speeding and not bothering about pedestrians.
good initiative
What about those 100s of cars parked on Left most lane of main road on Main Blue area from D chowk to Centerus
It’s a positive step, yet for the protection of cyclists, substantial and robust barriers are essential to shield the bicycle lane from over-speeding cars. Numerous incidents involve drivers exceeding speed limits, losing control, and colliding with pedestrians or motorcyclists.
They plan to destroy the city at the expense of public🟢
سی ڈی اے سے پوچھو جو سیور کے ساتھ پارکنگ پلازہ بن رہا ہے وہ قیامت تک مکمل ہو جائے گا؟
