Council members are once again unhappy with the idea of renovating the bike path. "The worse the surface, the lower the speed"

Local council members in Poznań are divided over the renovation of a 1.1 km pedestrian-bicycle path along Księcia Mieszka I Street. Last year, they opposed the project, citing safety concerns, but this year, the proposal received a positive opinion despite unchanged views. Discussions highlighted the narrowness of the path and the challenges of separating pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Some council members argued that the current surface, made of cobblestones, poses safety risks, while others believe that the type of surface does not significantly affect cyclist speed or safety. Experts suggest that cobblestones should not be used for bike paths due to health risks for cyclists. The debate continues as local cyclists advocate for better infrastructure and safety measures.
