Development of Infrastructure to Support the Express Bicycle Network

The purpose of this framework agreement is to carry out all or part of the project management services relating to the implementation of studies and works on infrastructures or public spaces supporting the Bicycle Express Network (REV). The contractor's attention is drawn to the fact that the assignment may concern the entire territory of the Metropolis of Lyon in a wide variety of contexts (dense urban environment, suburban environment, etc.). The Bicycle Express Network (REV is a flagship project. The aim is to build a new alternative transport network for the whole of the Metropolis that will enable cycling to triple by 2026. In order to achieve this objective, the creation of the REV will make it possible to remove the first obstacle to the development of cycling, which is the safety of travel. The REV will consist of separate tracks which will make it possible for people to travel by bicycle in complete safety. This new network will also meet the public health challenges of combating sedentary lifestyles and improving air quality. It will contribute to a better sharing of the city, as the lack of safe cycling infrastructure is a particular obstacle to women and children. Finally, the Bicycle Express Network will be a place for implementing the public policies of the Metropolis of Lyon in terms of vegetation for shade, biodiversity, reduction of heat islands and a permeable city.
