On Kadish Luz Street in Kiryat Motzkin, a comprehensive upgrade of the street will be carried out, transforming it into a green transportation route approximately 1.7 kilometers long, including paving a bike path, upgrading lighting, planting trees and vegetation, improving the appearance of the street, and establishing public seating areas.
On the northern border in Kiryat Bialik, a bicycle path approximately 1.5 kilometers long will be constructed, alongside a pedestrian sidewalk, landscaping work, installation of new lighting, placement of street furniture, and development of open spaces along the route, so that it will be used for both daily needs and recreation.
The projects are part of the Green Urban Transport Program led by the Ministry of Transportation, which promotes green urban transportation infrastructure throughout the country, with an emphasis on encouraging cycling, walking, and the use of public transportation, along with reducing road congestion and reducing air pollution.
Minister of Transportation Miri Regev: "We continue to realize the vision of 'Connecting Israel' even within the cities, by developing advanced, green, and accessible transportation infrastructure for all residents. Investing in bike paths and public spaces in the suburbs is part of a broad move to improve the quality of life, strengthen the periphery, and provide real alternatives to the private car. We will continue to develop smart and safe transportation infrastructure throughout the country.""
Ministry of Transportation Director General Moshe Ben-Zaken: "The projects in the Krayot are an example of the implementation of the Minister of Transportation's policy to promote advanced urban transportation, which combines mobility, sustainability, and quality of life. We are working to expand the network of bicycle paths in Israel and connect neighborhoods, employment centers, and public institutions, while creating an accessible, safe, and inviting urban space for all users.""
