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.
Although some of the proposed tracks require approval from the Forest Department, the Municipal Corporation remains confident in its ability to complete the required formalities and move the project forward without unnecessary delays.
This initiative is poised to alleviate traffic congestion while boosting Shimla’s allure as a prime tourist spot. With its picturesque landscapes and rugged terrain, the city could soon transform into a popular destination for cycling enthusiasts.
