| Work Detail |
The City of Buenos Aires will build a bicycle lane on the central boulevard of García del Río Avenue, between Cabildo Avenue and Pinto Street, in front of Saavedra Park. This work, made official through Resolution No. 327/SECT/24 published in the Official Gazette, seeks to improve the existing bicycle lane network and optimize the use of public space. Construction details: Location: Central boulevard of García del Río Avenue, between Cabildo and Pinto (in front of Saavedra Park). Type of bike path: Two-way traffic. Background: Previously, there was a marking and asphalt for cyclists on the northern path (heading towards Parque Saavedra), which was removed between 2018 and 2019, leaving cement without signage. The new work recovers and improves this space. Legal framework: Resolution 2024-327-GCABA-SECT, dated December 23, 2024. Problems it will solve: Optimization of the cycle path network: The construction of this cycle path seeks to expand and redesign the existing network, improving overall efficiency for cyclists and other road users. Efficient use of public space: The aim is to avoid inefficient use of public roads by creating a dedicated and signposted space for cyclists. Safety and connectivity: The new bike path is expected to improve the safety of cyclists and connectivity between Saavedra Park and the Cabildo area. Other network improvements: The resolution also mentions the enhancement of the Billinghurst-Virrey Liniers axis, which includes: Widening of the section: Between Lieutenant General Juan Domingo Perón and Gorriti. Improvements to the traffic surface: In Billinghurst from General Lucio N. Mansilla to Gorriti and from Teniente General Juan Domingo Perón to Rivadavia, and its continuation in Virrey Liniers from Rivadavia to the United States. Improvements in signage: In the same sections mentioned. In summary: The construction of the bike path in García del Río, together with the improvements on the Billinghurst-Virrey Liniers axis, represents an effort by the Buenos Aires City government to improve cycling infrastructure, optimize the use of public space and promote sustainable mobility.
