Activities within the week Activities within the week

Sarpsborg organises activities during EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK 2014, taking into account the annual theme.

"Forbausende byfest" hvor en gate med gateparkering og smale fortau stenges for biltrafikk og fylles med ulike aktiviteter, boder og kulturelle innslag. I tillegg anlegges det sykkelfelt i Hans Nielsen Hauges gate og Follogata på bekostning av gateparkering. Dette gir sykkelfelt til en ungdomsskole, en videregående skole, idrettshall og svømmehall.
