Further info
This year town Bjelovar has built around 6 kilometers of bicycle paths, we also have finished the polygon for bicycle school and the first students are expected in a couple of weeks after they finish theoretical part of traffic education. We are continuing with traffic education of first grade students in order to reduce children getting hurt in traffic accidents. New school center is also finished and from this school year all high schools are moved to one location which is more suitable for that number of students. School center also has sport hall which is used for other activities besides physical education and because of that gives the town more space when organising all sort of events.
