Carried out by Toulouse Métropole services from confinement, new temporary cycle paths (recognizable by their yellow markings) are being tested on boulevards Émile Calvet and Corps Franc Pommies, and around the Mediterranean roundabout .
Since the start of the school year, in addition to taking into account the comments of the Columérins, counting devices and various studies have been put in place to assess in particular the number of people on these routes: flow of bicycles and cars, speeds, all associated with accidents. (study of the causes and consequences of transport accidents, and accident risks). At the end of this observation period – which has been extended – the municipality of Colomiers, the technical services of Toulouse Métropole, and the association 2 feet, 2 wheels, will draw up the results. Experimentation will probably lead to future developments.
“In 2008, Colomiers had 30km of lanes reserved for cycles and / or pedestrians. Today, we are at 54km”, recall Martine Berry Sevennes (deputy mayor responsible for ecological transition and mobility), and Josiane Mourgue ( representative of soft and active mobility), who specifies: “The City is very closely associated with the decisions of Toulouse Métropole. I regularly intervene in the Community Council to present our priorities, in particular on the occasion of the creation of new roads or roads. ‘development of cycle paths “. Martine Berry Sevennes adds: “Securing roundabouts and reducing nuisance – mainly noise – for residents, are part of our priorities. The first feedback from this experiment is largely positive, but the inconvenience caused to motorists will be also taken into account. “
Recently updated, the guide “Our city has charm” and the map of “Cycling and pedestrian routes” are online on the City’s website (www.ville-colomiers.fr/).
