The Tel Aviv Municipality says it has approved a plan to more than double the amount of bicycle paths in the city over the next five years.

The plan will see the accumulated length of bike paths rise from 140 kilometers to 300 kilometers by 2025.

“The city of Tel Aviv-Yafo has undergone a revolution in recent years and bicycles and personal vehicles have become an integral part of the urban culture,” Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai says. “We continue to work and pave additional kilometers of bike paths while keeping three main goals in sight: returning the sidewalks to pedestrians, reducing traffic congestion, reducing air pollution.”
