Paris is gearing up for the 2024 Olympic Games not only by preparing its athletes but also by revolutionizing its infrastructure. The city has unveiled a new network of bike lanes designed to connect the various Olympic venues, making it easier and 🌊more sustainable for visitors to navigate the city.
Mayor Anne Hidalgo hailed the project as "a grand celebration of cycling and a catalyst for ecological transition." The network spans 60 kilometers and is evenly divided between Paris and its neighboring areas, ensuring safe and convenient travꦛel between major Oly✱mpic sites.
Imagine cycling from Roland-Garros to watch tennis, then pedaling to the newly renovated Grand Palais for a fencing match, and finally heading north to Seine-Saint-Denis for a basketball game. This vision of seamless, eco-friendly travel will be a reality 🐓thanks to the new bike lanes.
These l🐷anes are not just a temporary fixture for the Olympics—they will remain in place post-Games, promoting long-term sustainable transportation in the city.
To accommodate the anticipated surge in cyclists, Paris will install 10,000 tempor⭕ary bike parking spots around the venues, which will be relocated after the Olympics. 3,000 new Vélib bikes w♔ill be added to the current fleet, ensuring ample availability for all.
