In addition to the previously mentioned routes, the project will also feature cycling tracks from Ritz to Navbahar Chowk, Annandale, and Potterhill. To complement these tracks, the plan includes the installation of dedicated cycle stands, further enhancing the infrastructure and making cycling more accessible for everyone.
