Outside Slottegymnasiet in Ljusdal, an excavator is doing what can be compared to widening the current road.
- Right now we are excavating for a new section of a pedestrian and bicycle path that will connect Verkstadsskolevägen with Bjuråkersvägen, says Anders Berg, street and park manager at Ljusdal municipality.
These are just some of the Ljusdal municipality's investments in making cycling more attractive in the municipality.
In addition to the initiatives to facilitate cycling in Ljusdals köping, there are also plans to facilitate cycling commuting between urban areas in the municipality.
Järvsö and Färila
The municipality of Ljusdal is currently investigating the possibilities of building a pedestrian and bicycle path between Färila and Ljusdal in the long term.
When it comes to Järvsö and Ljusdal, the plans are much more concrete and close in time.
- Hopefully it will be ready for next season, ie next summer, says Anders Berg.
Among the means to achieve the Riksdag's set climate goals for reduced emissions is to facilitate the opportunities to cycle instead of taking the car, for example to work.
