What can you expect from De Lijn's new mobility plan?
Quieter Bondgenotenlaan, busier access roads to Leuven
De Lijn is introducing a new mobility plan that will bring about significant changes to public transport in Leuven. The plan will have a major impact on the Bondgenotenlaan, one of the city's busiest streets. The plan also includes measures to improve traffic flow on the access roads to Leuven. In addition, De Lijn will be introducing a number of new bus lines and increasing the frequency of service on existing lines.
Bondgenotenlaan to become more pedestrian-friendly
The Bondgenotenlaan is currently one of the busiest streets in Leuven, with a large volume of car traffic. The new mobility plan will see the number of cars on the Bondgenotenlaan reduced, making it more pedestrian-friendly. The plan also includes measures to improve the safety of cyclists and pedestrians. The Bondgenotenlaan will be transformed into a shared space, where pedestrians, cyclists and cars will all have equal rights.
Access roads to Leuven to become busier
The new mobility plan will also see the access roads to Leuven become busier. This is because the plan will divert some of the traffic that currently uses the Bondgenotenlaan to the access roads. The plan also includes measures to improve the flow of traffic on the access roads. The access roads will be widened and new traffic lights will be installed.
New bus lines and increased frequency of service
De Lijn will also be introducing a number of new bus lines and increasing the frequency of service on existing lines. The new bus lines will connect Leuven to neighboring towns and villages. The increased frequency of service on existing lines will make it easier for people to get around Leuven by public transport. These measures will make public transport a more attractive option for people in Leuven and the surrounding area.
Conclusion
The new mobility plan from De Lijn will have a significant impact on public transport in Leuven. The plan will make the Bondgenotenlaan more pedestrian-friendly, the access roads to Leuven busier, and will introduce new bus lines and increase the frequency of service on existing lines. These changes will make it easier for people to get around Leuven by public transport and will help to reduce congestion in the city center.
