Bicycle path instead of parking spaces

Parking spaces will temporarily make way for a bicycle path along Hverfisgata street in Reykjavik on Friday.

The experiment will last one month and the idea is to promote bicycling in Reykjavik.

Some residents were not notified that parking along the street would no longer be available. They‘re told that they can use a parking garage for ISK 4,000 per month (GB 20, US$ 32, EUR 25). Residents complain as they have to walk much further carrying groceries and tools etc. Source; mbl.is, visir.is.
