This project is part of the Metropole’s cycling development policy, which is committed to extending the cycle development line in line with the Urban Travel Plan (adopted on December 15, 2014) in order to respond to the issues identified: • Ensuring coherence between mobility and urban development; • Organise alternative mobility to any car for peri-urban areas; • Rethink the balance of different modes of travel for a harmonious and friendly sharing of the urban space. The PDU is organised on an action plan. They respond to a multimodal organisation of travel, the basic principles of which are as follows: • The development of intermodality through the deployment of a network of exchange points between the different modes of travel; • The development of the use of soft modes by the development of infrastructure for cyclists, by the valorisation of the collective experience, the requalification of public spaces and major urban areas. The project fully corresponds to the planned actions: • Creation of real hubs of exchanges around stations by promoting: accessibility of the various modes in good conditions of comfort and safety; • Accelerate the cycling development policy. On the other hand, in order to develop a “peaceful” metropolis, the Métropole Rouen Normandie has developed a Master Plan for Active Mobility (SDMA) with the objective of promoting the practice of walking and cycling in daily travel, by taking these uses into account in all projects and arrangements of the public space, and by promoting a change in mobility behaviours The SDMA defines a strategy of actions allowing the construction of a cycling network structuring the territory of the Metropolis. The strategy consists of: • Build a network that meets potential demand; • Identify cuts and discontinuities; • Prioritise routes, corresponding to the levels of service to be offered to the user; • Define a framework of facilities to meet these levels of services; • Prioritising and staggering the implementation of the arrangements; • Establish programming for a cycling budget. Not to mention: • Staking and parking devices; • Bicycle services (repair shop, inflation station, help with the purchase of a VAE,...). In this context, a prioritisation of the cycling network has been defined on the basis of three levels of service: Level 1: Express Vélos Network – Network of polarised intercommunal links to the centre of the Metropolis; — Meet potential demand: dominant home work, home study, links between polarities. Level 2: structuring territorial mesh routes – Itineraries of long-distance and peripheral intercity links; — Drawback routes to the TC network; — Seine à Vélo, and other tourist routes. Level 3: secondary mesh routes – Complementary mesh routes between levels 1 and 2 and polarities. The project presented is included in the Level 2 category. Its realisation therefore contributes to significantly improving the cycling mesh of the territory.
