Lahore’s urban landscape is set to transform as the Lahore Development Authority (LDA) discloses plans to introduce cycling tracks along major roads, aiming to promote cycling as a viable mode of transportation within the city. The initiative, revealed in a recent report, highlights LDA’s commitment to fostering a sustainable and eco-friendly urban environment.
A climactic development in this effort is the recent meeting between the LDA Director General, Tahir Farooq, and representatives from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). The discussions centred around exploring avenues for implementing a cycling track network across Lahore. The primary goal of the meeting was to kickstart a feasibility study for a broad master plan to enhance cycling infrastructure throughout the provincial capital.
The proposed cycling tracks are about promoting a healthier lifestyle and addressing various urban challenges. The initiative seeks to tackle environmental pollution, improve traffic flow, enhance pedestrian facilities, and optimize parking arrangements along prominent thoroughfares like MM Alam Road.
As the city gears up for these exciting developments, Lahoris can look forward to a future where cycling becomes a safer, more convenient, and more appealing mode of transportation.
