[La Dépêche] Lasserre-Pradère. An environmentally-friendly asphalt cycle path
In Lasserre-Pradère, an ecological bicycle path equipped with LuminoKrom®.
The commune of Lasserre-Pradère (Haute-Garonne) now has an environmentally-friendly cycle path linking the Rue du Gex to the N224. The 470-meter-long path links the commune with Lévignac and the Mérenvielle train station. Built as part of an inter-communal project, this section benefited from departmental funding of 65,000€, for a total cost of 334,000€. To limit the environmental impact, the teams used a technique to enhance the existing soil, and opted for LuminoKrom® photoluminescent signage to mark the route without the need for public lighting.
A safe, sustainable trail to promote local soft mobility
To ensure the safety of cyclists and preserve nocturnal biodiversity, Le Grand Ouest Toulousain community of municipalities has chosen LuminoKrom® technology, capable of recharging indefinitely using natural or artificial light. This photoluminescent marking offers an effective night-time guidance solution, with no energy consumption. Since its opening, the track has been widely adopted by local residents, particularly for teaching youngsters to ride in a safe environment. This project illustrates the local commitment to more sustainable and accessible mobility.
