Construction and Expansion of Bicycle Paths
As Lüleburgaz Municipality, we are putting the Bicycle Master Plan into practice. First of all, we launched the Lüleburgaz Stars Cycling Academy, where cycling enthusiasts throughout the city benefit from their tracks and bicycles and where travelers stay free of charge. Afterwards, we built a 2,200-meter-long bicycle path on Liberty Street. In addition, we have started the construction of a completely safe bicycle path, separate from the road, on Istasyon Street between Durak Mahallesi and Lüleburgaz city center, which is risky for drivers and cyclists. We became one of the 3 cities invited to the Turkey Cycling Project. We held workshops with city planners from the Netherlands. In the upcoming period, we plan to add a total of 30 kilometers of bicycle paths to Lüleburgaz.
Pool Construction
Swimming is one of the exercises that both pregnant women and those who experience joint, neck and low back pain can safely do. It is also known that swimming has physical and psychological benefits. Based on the slogan "No one can't swim," swimming pool was among the most requested in the survey conducted for citizens. As our municipality, we started the construction of the pool in line with the demand from the citizens. It is planned to open the pool for the use of our citizens in 2023.
Motorcycle Parking Areas
As a result of the survey conducted by our municipality in each neighborhood, it was determined that the motorcycles parked on the sidewalks are an obstacle to our elderly citizens with special needs, and motorcycle parking areas were created together with the citizens at 11 points in this direction. The park areas that were built were included in the zoning plan with the decision of the Municipality Council and the entrance of motorcycles to the pedestrianization areas was prohibited.
Pedestrian Safety in Front of Schools is Important to Us
He carried out repair and renovation work on pedestrian crossings, traffic signs and signaling systems used by students and citizens to cross the street in front of schools. "Pedestrian First" floor signs and symbols have been renewed for the safety of entrance and exit to schools. In the works where three-dimensional pedestrian crossings are also carried out, it also carries out the maintenance and repair of the traffic signs that indicate that the vehicles are approaching the pedestrian crossing and the school zone. In addition, it was made in front of the school in order to slow down the vehicles. With the works carried out, it is noted that the vehicles are approaching the school and pedestrian crossing, and they slow down.
Creation of Parking Areas
The urban crowd makes the city life even more unbearable today. Because as cities grow, green areas decrease. This brings about the formation of heat islands over the cities, the increase of air pollution and the negative effects of people's psychology. However, green spaces, gardens and parks in cities provide both a more livable climate and a more aesthetic and heartwarming appearance. For this reason, we attach importance to increasing the parking areas. In 2022, we brought 7 parks and living spaces to our city.
Martyrs Park: It has an area of 1.564m² and 635m of walking path and the remaining areas are considered as green areas.
Naim SÜLEYMANOĞLU Park: The total parking area is 5838m² and there are 2 playground fitness equipment.
Durak Neighborhood: 1 playground and 976m² parking area with fitness equipment and afforestation (Construction continues)
Özcan Değirmencioğlu Street Park: 2679m² parking area and afforestation (Construction in progress)
Yıldız Mahallesi Park: 872m² basketball court area, walking areas and afforestation
