Networking collective services and places of historical, cultural and environmental significance along the Strada Regina itinerary

Highlighting the thorough network of pedestrian and bicycle itineraries in the three towns being considered, which have already been connected by means of the "Strada Regina" (Agno-Bioggio-Manno), and promote it as an alternative to vehicle mobility for daily itineraries and journeys for work, recreation, tourism and for shopping. The objective is to make these movements competitive with the individual motor vehicles traffic.
The idea to recover the historic and current values of the ancient Strada Regina between the towns of Agno Bioggio and Manno stems from the local intertown project Agenda 21, and is part of the context of sustainable development and follows the policy of agglomerates of the Confederation. In particular, through a pedestrian and bicycle route which connects the three sites and places of particular interest, the objective of the project is to make people think about the great issues of our highly industrialized countries, and offer a valid alternative for recreation and leisure, health promotion and proximity tourism.
