Born from the first confinement, the “coronapistes” have since multiplied in the capital. If the health situation improves in the country, there is no question of seeing these reserved lanes recognizable by their yellow plots disappear.
On the contrary, the mayor of Paris seems determined to perpetuate them, according to the promise of Anne Hidalgo, by the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, as shown by David Belliard, deputy mayor of Paris in charge of the transformation of public space and roads, which tweeted this Tuesday, September 28, a video of the track on avenue de la République, which links place de la République and avenue Richard Lenoir in the 11th arrondissement.
A series that extends until 2024
This section “open for a few days” and in advance – it was expected for October 4 – now has two cycle lanes, one on each side, delimited by small medians. A strong symbol for the elected official who had committed to making it the first long-lasting track of a long list (available on the website of the Paris town hall) which will run until 2024. Cyclists are not the only winners in the delivery of this project since the entire road has been redone.
