The Metropolis of Lyon presented Tuesday, May 31 the development of line 2 of the Voies lyonnaises. The first section, which is the subject of consultation, crosses the east of the city and part of Villeurbanne from north to south. he goes upset the habits of many motorists.
Between now and 2026, the Voies Lyonnaises should make even more room for cyclists in the conurbation. Line 2 will connect Fontaines-sur-Saône to Saint-Priest crossing Villeurbanne, the 6th, 3rd, 7th and 8th arrondissement.
21,000 cyclists will leave the Vivier-Merle tunnel every day
It will therefore be necessary to make space in order to pass two bike lanes and to plant plants all along. For this, the 200 free parking spaces on the back alley of boulevard Stalingrad will disappear, as indicated News Lyon Tuesday, May 31. This passage which serves the entrance to the Parc de la Tête d’Or can only be taken on foot or by bike.
The other big change concerns Boulevard Vivier-Merle. “Lane 2 will use the Vivier-Merle tunnel instead of the left-hand traffic lane. Eventually, there will be as many cyclists as cars in the tunnel”, predicts the Metropolis of Lyon, which goes even further by giving these figures: 21,000 cyclists will leave the Vivier-Merle tunnel every day in 2030.
–The cycle lane will take the place of the contraflow lane
On the part of boulevard Vivier Merle, located south of avenue Felix Faure, the cycle lane will take the place of the contraflow lane and a discontinuous parking lane. Boulevard Vivier Merle will be planted throughout this section and the parking lot will be removed on the west side.
–Work on the first section will begin in March 2023. This first section begins by crossing the Rhône at the Raymond-Poincaré bridge and ends in the south at the intersection of avenue Berthelot (5.9 km).
In 2026, its 21 km route will cross the banks of the Saône, Caluire-et-Cuire, Part-Dieu and the Boulevard des Etats-Unis. In 2030, Voie lyonnaise 2 will be extended to Cailloux-sur-Fontaines in the north and Mions in the south for a total budget of 10 million euros.
