setec is assisting the Lyon Metropolitan Authority in managing the Voies Lyonnaises project portfolio and coordinating the different stakeholders, in particular by using the Urban Set web-SIG solution. The group is also in charge of project management for several sections of the Voies Lyonnaises and is capitalising on the initial feedback from the project management mission for the Paris cycle paths. This involvement reflects the Group’s expertise in urban engineering and a strong commitment to sustainable, innovative solutions for cities.
The Voies Lyonnaises network is a major project under the Lyon Metropolitan Council’s development plan. By 2030, it will consist of 13 safe, uninterrupted cycle paths, totalling 355 kilometres of facilities, with the aim of tripling the number of journeys made by bicycle by 2026. In addition to high-performance, attractive and safe cycling infrastructure, the network will include comfortable pedestrian facilities, with an emphasis on the environment and improving the quality of life through landscaping features that enhance user comfort in line with current climate challenges. setec is assisting the Metropole with the management of projects to ensure the overall consistency of the portfolio, which is made up of a large number of distinct operations involving a large number of stakeholders throughout the region. Urban Set, the urban strategy planning and management software developed by set by setec, is being used to monitor these projects, and to ensure the reliability, synthesis and analysis of the territorial data required for the planning and implementation of the infrastructures. At the same time, setec is working in close collaboration with the city’s project managers to manage operations on the different sections of the Voies Lyonnaises, providing expertise in both design and construction. To carry out these tasks, the setec teams were able to benefit from initial feedback from the launch of the City of Paris’ 2021-2026 Bicycle Plan. Aiming to make Paris a 100% cycle-friendly city, setec is in charge of project management (design and works) for the city’s cycle facilities, which include 180 kilometres of new cycle paths, including 52 kilometres of permanent “coronapistes” and 130 kilometres of new cycle paths. setec is working in collaboration with Atelier Nous, landscape architect, and Solcy, urban planning and cycling policy consultant, to ensure that the developments meet the challenges of making cycling safer through a complete cycling network in the capital.
