Propuesta de mejoramiento para accesibilidad de peatones y bici-usuarios campus La Santa María Universidad La Gran Colombia

Abstract

Taking into account the lack of pedestrian paths and a lane for bicycle users on the Santa María campus of the Universidad la Gran Colombia, located in the Yerbabuena village, municipality of Chía, department of Cundinamarca. The main objective is the implementation of a bicycle lane and a pedestrian platform on the existing road. This approach responds to the need to have alternative means of transportation within the extensive university campus, since having this type of means allows generating benefits for the environment, since they reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution, It also allows an adequate development of activities, generating a sports culture, since when exercising, whether cycling or walking, a habit of good health and personal care is generated. This work will be based on plans provided by the civil engineering faculty and previous soil studies carried out by the Universidad La Gran Colombia. The design will follow the specifications of the INVIAS 2022 Manual, which will allow obtaining characteristics and details that a flexible pavement (asphalt) must have, and the Bogotá platform booklet, guaranteeing the safety and efficiency of the bicycle lane and the pedestrian platform. The implementation of this project seeks to facilitate mobilization to areas of interest, such as sidewalks, farms, shopping centers and events with great citizen participation, thus promoting efficient and environmentally friendly transportation.
