Dedicated cycling tracks coming up in parts of Mysuru

With a view to promoting environment-friendly mode of transport, Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) has begun the task of laying dedicated cycle tracks on selected stretches of roads in the city.

The ‘Retro Reflective Flexible Delineators’ that seek to create a dedicated cycle track have begun making their appearance on Vishwa Manava Double Road. Soon, dedicated cycle tracks will be created on certain stretches of Jhansi Lakshmi Bai Road, Sita Vilas Road, Bogadi Road, Krishnaraja Boulevard, Chamaraja Double Road and New Kantharaj Urs road apart from Vishwa Manava Double Road.

Development Officer of MCC Zone 1 Shushruth told The Hindu that the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT), Government of Karnataka, carried out a survey of the roads in the city and suggested the creation of a total of 8.7 km of dedicated cycling tracks selected stretches based on the “width of the carriageway”.
