Paleocapa bicipolitana – Cycle path municipal territory

Investments in projects of urban regeneration, aimed at reducing situations of marginalization and social degradation (Mission 5 – Component 2, Investment 4)

Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan provides municipalities with grants for investments in urban regeneration, to reduce marginalization and social degradation as well as to improve the social and environmental context of urban centres.

The measure aims at supporting the reuse and re-functionalization of public areas and existing public building structures for purposes of public interest, and at improving the urban landscape through renovation of public buildings, with particular attention to the development of social, cultural, educational and didactic services, including sporting activities.

The investment is financed by Italy’s Recovery and Resilience plan by EUR 2 billion.

The project “Paleocapa bicipolitana – Cycle path municipal territory” in Padua is part of this investment.

The intervention in question is part of a large project of the Municipality of Padua for the redevelopment of the city with a view to the development of Sustainable Mobility, through inclusive accessibility, cycling and road safety interventions. 

The project concerns Riviera Paleocapa and includes both structural works on the two arches on the edge of the bridge on which the bicycle and pedestrian lanes lay, and road works for the extraordinary maintenance of these lanes. 

The bicycle lane redevelopment project is also part of the “bicipolitana mura" route, South-West section, which is named as route no. 5 - Paleocapa Accessibility. 

The project is financed by Italy’s Recovery and Resilience plan by EUR 2.1 million.
