Cycling tracks around Expo 2020 Dubai bus station

Dubai’s RTA has endorsed a project for integrated transport and flexible mobility around 9 Expo 2020 bus stations.

The project concept revolves around improving and configuring the infrastructure to support network flexibility and environment sustainability besides improving the surrounding areas for pedestrians.

Mattar Mohammed Al Tayer, Director-General, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of the Roads and Transport Authority said, “The project includes the enhancement and implementation of mobility and connectivity standards around nine Expo 2020 Bus Stations at Al Baraha, Al Ghubaiba, Al Jafiliya, Business Bay 2, Dubai Silicon Oasis, International City, Palm Jumeirah, Etisalat and the Union Bus Stations”.

The project will add 45 km to the cycling tracks network, which renders Expo Bus Stations as an excellent model of integrated and environmentally friendly stations.

RTA shall undertake the project in collaboration with Nakheel, Dubai Silicon Oasis, TECOM, and Dubai Properties.

Works of the project provide for an integrated environment around metro and bus stations, which entails constructing 226 pedestrian paths and 857 dropped kerbs, creating paths for people of determination at 1053 points, in addition to the implementation of a host of speed calming measures such as humps, shared cycling & pedestrian tracks, shared cycling & vehicles lanes, roadside parking slots, and wider pedestrian pavements.
