Estudo de viabilidade para implantação de uma rota cicloviária interligando a praça Getúlio Vargas ao Parque Estadual Vitório Piassa no município de Pato Branco - PR

Abstract

The proposal for a bicycle lane linking the Vitório Piassa State Park to the center of Pato Branco - PR has emerged as a viable solution in the face of the significant growth in the city's vehicle fleet. The initiative aims to provide a safe, accessible and environmentally friendly means of transportation, while at the same time improving the connection between commercial and leisure areas, contributing to more efficient urban mobility. Several factors were taken into account when developing the proposal, such as choosing the most suitable sections and the adaptations needed to integrate the road into the existing urban space. Understanding the population's expectations was essential, with the application of questionnaires and the use of technological tools such as AutoCAD, CapCad and Google Earth Pro, which help visualize the proposed route and assess local conditions. The information collected indicates a significant demand for cycling infrastructure, demonstrating the population's interest in using the bicycle as a commuting alternative. The studies also made it possible to identify the most suitable points for the implementation of the route, taking into account aspects of safety, practicality and connection with other means of transport. This project has the potential to positively transform the city's mobility, improving people's quality of life, reducing congestion and reducing environmental impacts. The initiative represents an important step towards building a more accessible and sustainable city, and it is essential that its feasibility is carefully considered by the local authorities.
