Project Summary

Since late 2022, Copenhagenize has been working as part of a consortium on the design of the Grande Voie Vélo A. This main cycling axis will connect the Nantes railway station to the Bottière Chénaie neighborhood. Tasked with guiding the cycling infrastructure design, Copenhagenize has been involved in the preliminary studies, and the early and advanced design phases to ensure the implementation of a high-quality cycling route with a top level of service.

Through various studies and a series of recommendations, Copenhagenize has helped determine the final configurations of the cycling infrastructure. Once the project is completed, users of all ages will benefit from a safe route, including the city’s first dutch-style roundabout. We have also provided input on the need for services along the route and the bicycle-user experience on adjacent streets after the new traffic circulation plan is implemented.
