The cycle paths completed in 2008
and 2011 were established only on
sidewalks and turned out to
be very expensive and unsuccessful
experiments.

Until October 2012,
the Police Traffic
Division had already
declared illegal so
many paths that their
length exceeded 100
km out of the 117 km
manged by the
Bucharest Streets
Administration.

On March 11, 2013, the Mayor
announced that he refused to lay down the cycle lanes on roads and that he supported cycle lanes exclusively on the sidewalks.

road infrastructure of his dreams: 13 billion Euros !

With the current city income, the infrastructure planed by the Mayor
would be ready in 40 years.
Bucharest will be buried in debts in order to get buried in concrete.

In 1900, the Mayor’s
plans would have
been visionary!
But we live in 2013…

“If you plan cities for cars and traffic, you get cars and traffic.
If you plan for people and places, you get people and places.”
