Thursday, May 20 was presented to the public, the project on the main road passing through Piazza Tarchini. The project includes a technical intervention, putting in place the safety of pedestrians and traffic calming, with the construction of two hills at the entrance to the north and south of the square and a raised area between the Collegiate Church and City Hall complete with red stripe Central, like what we see from Coldrerio Mezzana. The project includes also moving the bus stops, the construction of a canopy and a reduction from 7 to 5 parking spaces on the right side of the road coming from Mendrisio. The total cost of the work is around one million and a half, in which our community should participate for a portion equivalent to 35%.
During the evening, many voices were raised in a critical way before this project, especially as regards the quality of life of balernitani that in the face as described, does not improve in any way. The number of vehicles traveling on Corso S. Gottardo will not be diminished, there will be un'abbellimento Square nor a "making it in life" or the creation of places balernitani i can pass, stop, chat, without having to pay attention to moving cars. So why contribute to 35% in this work? Beyond the financial aspect is important to the project, which unfortunately in recent years Balerna is always going to gradually decline. This project is a watertight compartment, which appears to be purely technical and minimally everything revolves around Piazza Tarchini, or rather, the main road that crosses it. Were not taken into account the various movements pedestrian journeys to school, travel, media and guests of the provident Mother and Elders of the House and the traffic that comes and goes from and Station Street. There is no overview of the whole, especially now that the former Asylum, with the advent of the new school building will lose its function prince, what do we do?
In our opinion, the Centre Balerna is all to think and to plan, then you can take steps to, for obvious reasons and financial management, but the project should be broad spectrum and non-sealed compartments, otherwise we will have many pieces of a center that already has no identity and is not with aseptic and technical interventions that we can give it.
The message we're going to vote for the June 21 City Council have been included in the small interventions for safety and Silvia Street Via Municipio. If the technical design of the County will vote against, as a group, however, we will ensure that small interventions under pressure from City Hall can be implemented to facilitate pedestrian paths in the two-way, keeping the walkways.
Some argue that unless we act now to many more years will not be anymore. Instead, we believe that by accepting this project, the risk of not doing anything to Balerna increases. To allow the Cantonal authorities no longer need to take care of the situation Balerna, for now, technically, is put in place. We can and must take the time to develop new solutions and rewarding, that maybe something will cost more, but can really be an ideal solution for Balerna and its people.
