GALLARATE – «In recent months the number of road accidents in Gallarate has continuously increased». It’s the one who says it leader of the Democratic Party, Giovanni Pignatarowhich on Tuesday 30 April in the city council will officially ask theCassani administration what urgent interventions it intends to take for reduce the speed of vehicles«main cause of accidents and in particular of the most serious ones» and what does it plan to do «for ensure the safety of school access of all city groups.”
City without bumps
«The failure compliance with speed limits constitutes one of the main causes of accidents, which the lives and health of pedestrians and cyclists in particular are at risk», he writes in his question time the councilor of the Gallarate Party, underlining that Gallarate is today devoid of any speed slowing system. The mayor Andrea Cassani he has already said in one of his latest Instagram live broadcasts that they are studying the pose of some raised crossingsbut the opposition invites him to act quickly because «this situation constitutes an obvious element of danger for the safety of all citizens.”
Wild stop
Returning to some issues raised by the petition launched by Fiab and Legambiente, the Democratic Party also points out that wild parking on the sidewalks near schools constitutes a further element of danger for the safety of young people, children and parents who travel on foot and by bicycle. «Last week – Pignataro recalls – finally and belatedly, it was also announced the positioning of arches to prevent parking on the entire Via Cantoniaffected by the wild parking on the sidewalks of those who accompany their children to the Sacred Heart school. But same problem exists in all other city schools». For the centre-left it is therefore necessary, where possible, establish school roads with a ban on vehicle transit during student entry and exit times, following the example of what already happens at the primary schools of Sciaré and the middle schools of Cedrate. «And where it is not possible, it must be positioned suitable reporting of school exit zones, as well as speed retarders with provision for Zones 30. These interventions cannot be postponed to remedy situations dobjective and serious danger for studentsother than their parents and grandparents who accompany them».
