Cycling development in Heves and Hevesvezekény settlements

The aim of the project entitled “Development of cyclists in Heves and Hevesvezekény settlements” is to create and strengthen the conditions for sustainable transport by refurbishing an existing cycle path of 2,100 metres and by creating a new bicycle traffic facility for a total of 10,500 metres. We would like to apply for the ‘Indicative allocation for cross-road developments’ in the area-specific annex. The planned development will contribute to climate change mitigation, the reduction of CO2 emissions, the development of a viable urban and municipal environment and the achievement of the EU2020 and the National Transport Infrastructure Development Strategy’s sustainable development and transport targets. The project will result in an increase in the proportion of people using walking, cycling or public transport as the main means of transport in the municipality. The main activity of the development is cycling-friendly development — connecting the settlements of Hevesvezekény and Heves, and connecting the Alatka part of the town of Heves to the cycling network. As a related activity, the upgrading of the existing bicycle traffic facility in the town of Heves along road No. 31 on a length of 2,100 metres. The planned route relieves the 3209 j connection road, which is 1784 E/day. State of play: Currently in Heves, the existing cycling facility located next to the 31st main road and in the streets of Hősök, János Hunyadi and Miklós Zrínyi, as well as in the framework of the project TOP-3.1.1-15-HE1-2016-00006, is the right two-sided bike lane in the streets of Vértanú, Ady Endre, Vitéz Mihály Csokonay, King Béla, József Katona, Ferenc Deák. They are expected to be implemented in the first half of 2018. There is currently no bicycle traffic facility in Hevesvezekény. Heves town and Hevesvezekény are connected by road 3209.j., the average daily traffic of the road section is 1784 E/day based on the traffic counting results of the 2015 national road network, of which the freight traffic is 93 jm/day. Alatka, which can be accessed from the 3204 j road to 3207 j., currently does not have a bicycle facility in this part, the cyclists are on the same surface as the motor vehicles. The average daily traffic of 3207 j. road is 1437 E/day based on the national traffic census data for 2015, of which 102 jm/day is a heavy-duty vehicle. The planned development can be divided into 3 main stages: Section 1: The aim of the project is to connect the settlements of Hevesvezekény and Heves, and to connect Hevesvezekény to the existing network. The planned cycling facility will be built on the left side of the 3209 j. road section 6.6 km in length between the 0+ 000-6+ 600 sections. The outskirts bike path is 2.5 m wide with a bench 0.5 m-0.5 m in length 5.5 km. On the inland section of the Heves town we plan a bi-sided bicycle lane 1.1 km long on the trail according to the enclosed cross-section plot, in the direction of Hevesvezekény in the direction of István Dobó and Petőfi Sándor Street, and then turning left along the main road, reaching the existing cycle path in Hősök square, which was refurbished in the present tender. The construction of the bicycle path would facilitate the networking of existing facilities and can be continued south to Kisköre, thus connecting the Tisza lake to the network, which is a touristly popular destination. Section 2: The condition of the existing bicycle road next to main road No. 31 is poor, so the renovation of the road is also part of the project in 2.1 km length of Love Alfréd Street, turning left along Szabadság Street and Egri Road. Section 3: Tarnaméra — Boconád and Heves City are connected by a cycling facility in the first half of 2018 under project TOP-3.1.1-15-HE1-2016-00 007.13 km long on 3204 j. road, to which the planned route is connected in the framework of this project. On 3207 j. road, 3.9 km long cycling facility is being built between the 8+ 530 and 12+ 430 sections. On the outskirts of 1.5 km, on the right side of the road, 2.5 m wide bi-directional cycle path is planned, which continues 2.4 km as a bi-sided cycling lane in width 1.3-1.3 m. For the construction of the bicycle lanes, the existing pavement will be reopened at a width of 0.5 m-0.5 m due to the feasibility of widening. The purpose of the construction of the facility is to connect the part of the settlement to the cycling network. The workplaces in the city centre can be safely accessed by bicycle. Planned track structure of the planned or intended cycle path: 3 cm AC8 wear layer 4 cm AC11 binding layer 15 cm FKZA 0/56 road base 30 cm sandy gravel frost protection layer Designed bicycle strip track structure: 4 cm AC11 wear layer 6 cm AC16 binding layer 8 cm AC22 base layer 20 cm FKZA 0/56 road base 20 cm sandy gravel frost protection layer During the design we examined the fit of the planned track with the relevant zoning plans: • National Cycling Concept and Network Plan (O)
