Paris is to double the number of cycling lanes by 2020 as part of its Socialist mayor's push to turn the city into “the world’s bike capital". 隶属社会党的巴黎市长力争将巴黎打造为“世界自行车之都”，其中一项计划是到2020年，巴黎的自行车道长度将是目前的两倍。 The 150 million-euro project will increase the number of safe bike lanes from the current 700 kilometres (435 miles) to 1,400 kilometres within five years. 该项目耗资1.5亿欧元，计划在五年内将巴黎现有的700公里安全自行车道扩展至1400公里。 Paris town hall hopes the new lanes will help triple the number of journeys made on a bike from five percent to 15 percent in that time. 巴黎市政厅希望，届时新增的自行车道将使巴黎市民的自行车出行率在现有基础上增加两倍，由5%增至15%。 The new “express network” for bikes will introduce protected cycling lanes on major avenues throughout the city, including the banks of the Seine, separated from the traffic. 新的自行车“快线网络”将在巴黎城区各主要干道开辟出与道路交通隔离开的安全自行车道，塞纳河沿岸也包括在内。 “We think that there are people ready to cycle but don’t do it due to a sense of not being safe,” said Christophe Najdovski, Green deputy mayor in charge of transport. “在我们看来，有不少市民想要骑自行车出行，但是出于安全方面的担忧而放弃了这一想法。”巴黎市负责交通事务的副市长、绿党成员纳杰多维斯基说。 |
