The Biciplan Cambio promoted by the Metropolitan City of Milan is launching in Feb 2022. The ambitious project aims to create cycle paths that will connect Milan with the other 132 municipalities by 2035.
One of the challenges that Milan is called to face, in order to make urban mobility ever more sustainable, is less cars taking up space parking (not me, I just report the news)
"In the city the car is used only 8% of the time, while the remaining 92% remains stationary" explains the architect of the urban landscape Valerio Montieri who has been dealing with these issues for years. A use that does not seem to be "convenient" and that causes a consumption of one of the limited resources of the city: space. “Parked vehicles take away space for pedestrians and bicycles” says transport engineer Alfredo Drufuca who explains how there are alternatives. “
Once completed, the cycle paths will pass at most one kilometer away from all this. A 250 million euro project which, explains Beatrice Uguccioni, the councilor responsible for mobility, “will bridge the gap we have with respect to the most virtuous European metropolitan areas”: Berlin, Paris, Munich, Toulouse are the models. It starts in February, with the opening of the construction site for the first section of Line 6, from Milan to the Idroscalo. By the summer of 2022 the sea of the Milanese will be reachable by pedaling.
