Cyclists in Reus are facing a hazardous journey on the cycle lane running parallel to the TV-3141 road towards Cambrils. Users have reported significant neglect, with gravel, sand, pine needles, dirt, and vegetation accumulating along the route, compromising safety.
This sustainable mobility axis, which is still under construction, currently stretches between Misericòrdia Avenue and the Blancafort and Aigüesverds urbanisations. The lack of upkeep has turned the path into an obstacle course, according to local cyclists.
Maintenance Responsibility Confirmed
While the Catalan government's Department of Territory was responsible for the cycle lane's construction, both the Department and Reus City Council confirmed to Diari de Tarragona that maintenance falls under the city council's remit. This clarification comes as users continue to express concerns over the deteriorating conditions.
The city council is now expected to address the maintenance issues to ensure the safety of cyclists and promote the intended use of this sustainable transport link. The ongoing construction and current state of disrepair raise questions about the coordination between different administrative bodies.
