The Chisinau municipal council has approved the Local Action Plan for greener mobility, a document drawn up by the General Directorate of Architecture, Urban Planning and Land Relations. It provides for the classification of the streets in the capital and will serve as a guide for future interventions on the street space, reports IPN.

The interim deputy head of the General Directorate of Architecture, Mihaela Sultan, mentioned that the plan is based on three main directions: the redevelopment of streets, changing the mode of transportation and strengthening institutional support for the development of sustainable urban mobility.

The document proposes the reorganization of street space to create better conditions for pedestrians, cyclists and public transportation, as well as new design principles for future interventions. It includes seven categories of streets: main transit arteries, streets dedicated to public transportation, central streets, main neighborhood streets, residential streets, pedestrian streets and industrial streets.

The plan was developed within the framework of the European project CityWalk 2.0, funded by the European Union. The document is complementary to the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan of the municipality of Chisinau.
