    After a meeting with the Manlleu Mayor and the Urbanism Councillor (see pictures below) the teachers and students of INS Antoni Pous are asked to conduct a detailed study of the possible use of the proposed cycle lane.  

    The conclusions of this study could lead to the creation of a cycle lane in the main avenue leading to INS Antoni Pous.

     

    • January 2020:  Students and teachers from INS Antoni Pous make a study of the potential use of a cycle lane by the school community.  This is the PDF file with the study
