The Federal Territories Ministry plans to convert the motorcycle lanes in Putrajaya into a bikeways in line with a proposal to make the administrative region a cycling-friendly city.
Federal Territories Minister Annuar Musa said towards that end, the Putrajaya Corporation would take steps to convert the motorcycle lanes, which has been gazetted, into cycling lanes.
“We have an area that was previously built to separate the lane for motorcycles from other vehicles, but there are not many motorcyclists in Putrajaya, which is why we want to renovate the route to be used as a bikeway,” he told the media after handing over contributions to the Putrajaya community under the Wilayah Cakna 3.0 today.
Annuar said the cycling lane would have an outer loop, stretching 34km, and an inner loop of about 15km, which is expected to be completed within the next one or two months.
He said various other facilities would also be built, including a cafe, workshop, bicycle spare parts and accessories shop, as well as a car park.
