Although Lisbon is known as the city of seven hills, 73% of its streets are flat or have slopes of less than 5%, meaning they are accessible to most users. On the other hand, the proliferation of the electric bicycle and other similar soft modes, as well as mechanical means of support, has made it possible to solve the difficulties imposed by orography and aspire to a fully cyclable Lisbon.
Lisbon City Council created the first sections of cycle path in 2001, but it wasn't until 2009 that construction began on a more comprehensive network linking the city's green structure. In 2017, with the increase in cycling infrastructure in the urban fabric and the introduction of the GIRA shared public bicycle system, cycling began to be considered a real alternative for many people in Lisbon.
Increasing the supply of parking for cyclists and creating a "continuous, efficient and safe cycling network that promotes the daily use of the bicycle on home-work-school journeys by people of all ages", as envisaged in the MOVE Lisboa 2030 Mobility vision, will therefore be a fundamental contribution to many more people being able to choose this mode of transport for their journeys. In this way, it will be possible to help reduce the high number of cars circulating daily in Lisbon, where 38% of journeys of up to 5 km are made by private car, relieving the city of more congestion and pollution.
The use of bicycles has become even more important and urgent in the context of a public health crisis, especially a pandemic, due to the relationship pointed out in various studies between air quality and the greater lethality caused by COVID-19.
Cycle paths
This intervention aims to upgrade, standardize and bridge the gaps between the Cais do Gás and Ribeira das Naus cycle paths, by implementing improvements to the riverside path (cycle and pedestrian), creating a cycle-pedestrian corridor (includes 30+Bici), vertical and horizontal signage, and road sidewalks.

Implementation of a one-way cycle path, about 1.7 m wide in each direction. Between Rua João das Regras and Rua da Palma, the cycle path will be bidirectional, continuing the existing section.
The road channel will be segregated with elements that can be crossed in emergency and rescue situations. The solution is to use paint and segregation elements to create preferential conditions for cycling.
Av. Almirante Reis is a structuring axis in Lisbon's cycle network, being the flattest and most direct route between downtown and the urban areas in the eastern center (Arroios, Anjos, Penha de França) and the eastern north (Areeiro, Alvalade, Olaias). The completion of this cycle path will make it possible to create a safe connection and improve road safety conditions along this axis, as well as resolving a number of issues identified following the cycle path already implemented up to Praça do Chile.

The work included maintenance of the green spaces and tree planting, as well as improvements to rainwater drainage, paving, lighting and horizontal signage. This section of bidirectional cycle path, associated with a pedestrian route, is 2km long, so the work was phased and began next to the Lisbon Camping Park, following the Estrada da Circunvalação and Estrada da Portela to the Pina Manique traffic circle, where it connected to the existing cycle path.
The initial project to build this cycle path had to be altered in order to safeguard an existing alignment of trees near the Bairro da Boavista Municipal Swimming Pool, giving way to an alternative proposal whose construction contracting process is expected to be completed shortly.
In order to mitigate the negative effects on users, a temporary solution was found which aims not to affect the operation of the entire section built, but to create a segregated channel for cars to cross and significantly improve this connection.

Completion date: April/2021
Implementation of a two-way 'pop up' cycle path on Alameda dos Oceanos (north), as part of Lisbon's cycle network. This cycle path will provide a continuous cycle link between the southern and northern areas of the parish of Parque das Nações, and create a new inter-city link with the municipality of Loures. It will form part of the structuring riverside axis, which links Sacavém to Algés continuously.
Alameda dos Oceanos (north), despite its local character, is often used as an alternative crossing route to Av. Dom João II by those entering Lisbon via the IC2 in the direction of the center, which causes congestion that prevents residents from leaving the neighborhood. On the other hand, the road profile that existed before, with two wide lanes in each direction, led to excessive speeds, which contributed greatly to road accidents on that axis.
The implementation of the two-way cycle path was achieved by converting one lane, next to the central divider, into a northbound lane between the Rotunda dos Vice-Reis and the Rotunda das Oliveiras and a southbound lane between the Rotunda das Oliveiras and the Rotunda da República da Colômbia. This is expected to reduce the amount of traffic crossing from the interior of the parish at the entrance to Lisbon from the IC2, as well as reducing traffic speeds due to the narrowing of the channel.
The new 'pop up' cycle path has made Alameda dos Oceanos safer for all road users, pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, by redistributing the available space and making it easier for residents in the northern part of the parish to access heavy public transport, particularly the metro and train stations. It also connects the various educational establishments in the parish.
Highlights include the use of new elements to separate the cycle path, improving the finish, signage and the use of the cycle path by vehicles in the event of an emergency and access for public transport to passenger pick-up and drop-off areas.
Start date: July 13, 2020
Completion date: August/2020
