ISLAMABAD: The Capital Development Authority (CDA) has announced plans to introduce dedicated bicycle tracks across Islamabad as part of efforts to promote sustainable transportation and improve urban mobility.
According to officials, the initiative aims to develop a comprehensive network of cycling lanes across various sectors and major roads in the federal capital. The project is intended to provide residents with an alternative mode of transport while reducing traffic congestion and environmental impact.
The bicycle track plan is part of broader urban development measures focused on enhancing public infrastructure and encouraging healthier commuting options. Authorities indicated that the project will include proper planning for connectivity between different sectors, ensuring accessibility and usability for daily commuters.
