Names For A Cultural Group

BASTIA: SEL, "For Roundabout, BUT REMAINS THE PIAZZA TO PEDESTRIANS"


the evening of Friday, December 3 was held weekly meeting of the Circle of Left Ecology and Freedom of Bastia Umbra, which saw a large participation of members, sympathizers and citizenship, the re-opening to traffic in Piazza Mazzini at the center of the debate.

"On this occasion it was mainly discussed the agenda of the City Council held on 30 bovembre. In that Council, during the general disquisition bedding to the budget 2010, there was a availability of remaining € 300,000.
Of that amount, the administration has decided to devote the majority (€ 200,000) to the viability of the city, identifying two strands of work:
- the construction of two roundabouts which will allow direct connection between Via Roma and Via Firenze - reopened to traffic on the north side of Piazza Mazzini.
Regarding the first point, the administration meets with our full agreement, because we think it is a source of streamlining the traffic (you avoid unnecessary speed of vehicles around the Old City with its decrease pollution and travel times).
Instead, in relation to the second point, we have to say our total contrarietà.Premettendo that for decades all the cities tend to preserve and expand its pedestrian zones in city centers, we do not find acceptable the link between the re-opening to traffic of the square with the possibility of increasing trade in this place, as stated Mayor Ansideri.
Considering that this reopening and the subsequent creation of new parking charges (remember that there is about 100 meters to the Post Office free of charge, hardly used) is called a "trial" and that this involves a financial investment rather than second order, we ask whether it is better to use this availability in far more concrete actions, especially in this time of crisis economy.
We believe the causes of the closure of these 7 exercises to be found in the other direction, far from the one indicated by the current administration. Piazza Mazzini
The fact that it is no longer a place frequented by people and families is a fact. It would be perhaps more appropriate to raise some public functions at the primary site, restore the benches, Offir games for kids? In this sense it is also suggested to the mayor and the administration to think about the relocation, in this place, municipal services such as municipal police, the library, the registry office.
Our city needs places where you can meet and socialize, where to take their kids to go for walks, not only for shopping. "
