Is this the first pop-up bike lane in Lisbon? It seems to have all the ingredients: bucket of paint, bollards, fast execution and low cost. It is located at Rua Castilho.
Berlin, Paris, Barcelona, Brussels, Milan, Budapest, Lima, Bagota, Quito... Several European and world cities have anticipated the end of confinement with ambitious measures to extend sidewalks and create temporary bike lanes. On one hand, the goal is to make it possible to comply with social distancing and, on the other hand, to free public transportation for those who really have no other alternative. In Portugal, the lockdown ended this week without Lisbon, much less Porto, having announced anything at all.
