Creating a chain of easy and safe walkable/cyclable routes - Rabat to Buskett
There is plenty of amazing walking paths and beautiful places in Malta but unfortunately one has to take the car or bus to most of those places. The ideal would be to connect parks and recreational spots by creating walking/cycling-friendly allocated routes.
For example they are planting trees on the way from Rabat to Buskett but unfortunately there is no appropriate space for walking. Can you imagine this road being transformed into a marked route for pedestrians and cyclists? For me, right now, unfortunately it’s a bit of a challenge to choose this road because it feels dangerous with the cars. With the introduction of safe lanes I would definitely feel encouraged. Let’s put our focus on connecting these beautiful spots that will create a chain of easily walkable/cyclable routes.
My proposal is to connect Rabat/Mdina to Buskett which is also highly popular with tourists. This would create less necessity for car and bus usage making this area less noisy and polluted. What are your ideas to make this route more accessible for pedestrians and cyclists? What other similar connections would you like to see?

Great Idea! I love cycling, but I don't do it in Malta very much because the roads doesn't feel safe to me. So, I'll love to see more safe lanes or, even better, some 'green paths' in the Island.
2Thank you for your comment Juan. Your concern seems to be the concern of many. Is there any particular route that you take that you would like to see a green path?
0I think the number of cyclists on the island will multiiply if and when there are safe cycle lanes in all the main roads.
2it's a cycle ... the more adequate roads, the more we will get people interested to cycle and the more cyclists there are, the more there is the need and pressure to have more suitable roads ;)
