Riga council backs over one million euros for bike path link to Carnikava
Riga City Council's Finance and Administrative Affairs Committee has approved allocating more than one million euros for a bicycle path connection to the Carnikava bike path. The decision still needs full council approval.
On Thursday, the Finance and Administrative Affairs Committee of Riga City Council approved a significant funding allocation for building a bicycle path connection to the Carnikava bike path. The approved amount exceeds one million euros — specifically 1,072,176 euros.
The committee's decision means the project can now move forward toward approval at the full council level. The planned bike path link would create a more integrated cycling network between Riga and Carnikava, providing a continuous route for cyclists traveling between the two areas.
What's next
With the committee's backing, the funding proposal can now be forwarded to a full Riga City Council session for a final decision. The source material does not provide further details on the project's implementation timeline, the exact route, or other technical aspects.
