Integrated Cross-Sectorial Plan of Tirana-Durres Area

Crossings nearby road infrastructure must
be designed in such a way as to guarantee a
high level of safety for bicycle users, creating
dividing barriers.
Urban centre bicycle stations should be
attached to the service stations and other
transport modes.
Bicycle stations for long distances can cover
an action radius not larger than 6-8 km.
They should provide opportunities for the
exchange of transport modes without having
to return to the initial point of travel for the
vehicle handover.

TP7- Infrastructure, energy and
telecommunication
The development of water and sewerage
systems, energy and telecommunications
infrastructure should be oriented towards
the development of integrated utilities,
coordination of civil works and co-usage with
an approach towards environmental friendly
development, based on sector strategy and the
“dig-once” principle to minimize the costs.
TP7.1- Underground infrastructure
Determining priority areas in the general
local plans, such as: urban centres, economic
areas, centres of multimodal stations,
logistics centres, primary tourist structues in
accordance with ICSP Tirana-Durres and GNP
will enable the efficiency of investments in this
region.
Underground infrastructure should cover
the needs of the communities based on the
projections of population growth and tourism
flows.
Defining and preserving groundwater, which
will serve as an additional future potential to
supply urban areas, should be a priority of the
regional municipalities to be protected from
urban development consequences.
The underground infrastructure system
should be based on strategic investments,
on the hierarchy of centres, on their new
developments, on all typologies and regional
poles defined as primary ones. Coverage with
these types of services should be developed
prior to urban development, prioritizing the
densification and concentration of investments
and reduction of maintenance costs.
Urban development in low-density ruralnatural
areas, such as those with residential
buildings not connected to urban centres,
should be supported to create common areas
of water supply and alternative drainage/
sewerage not connected to the network, such
as certified water wells and drainage system
with periodically controlled and certified /
ecological controlled discharge septic tanks.
