The empty streets in Milan are slowly getting used to the residents now that during the lock-down everyone has to stay inside and cars are banned in the city. Normally, about 700.000 cars a day drive into the city center, which cause traffic jams and pollution. Cyclists, electric scooters and scooters will get more space and cars will soon have to give way. In Milan they hope to realize this by constructing more than 35 kilometers of cycle paths.
Through these interventions, the Milanese also take into account the corona measures that apply with regard to keeping each other apart. Due to the current circumstances, the renovation of the center can be realized faster than usual, so the Milanese hope to have completed everything for a bicycle-friendly city center by the end of this summer.
