TREVISO – The start is slowafter all it’s just the first day of openingbut the people of Treviso rather than wandering for a long time looking for a free place, seem to willing to open their wallets just to park, quickly, closer to the hospital. The new park, the first paid one, was opened just yesterday Citadel of Health at Ca’ Foncello. Some users, perhaps because they were not yet aware of the news, continued yesterday morning “invent” imaginative stalls in the roundabout or in the streets surrounding the hospital, sometimes also occupying the spaces necessary for the passage of emergency vehicles, but already in the early morning around twenty people had passed the barrier and occupied the 320 seats in the new area dedicated to parking. A choice probably dictated by the fact that users of Ca’ Foncello are still unaware of the existence of the new car park, but it cannot be ruled out that some of them refused to pay the hourly rate (0.50 cents per hour for the first three hours and then 1 euro per hour).
THE FIRST USERS
«Parking is definitely useful – commented Claudio Montagnerarrived at the hospital from Monastier – and the price isn’t that bad either: 50 cents an hour for the first three hours is a pretty good price considering considering how much parking costs in other hospitals, such as in Mestre, where it costs almost 1.50 per hour. I also think that the places will be sufficient to cover the demand which will probably increase in the coming months.” He doesn’t exactly share the same opinion Sara Cavallin who, while pregnant, arrives from Montebelluna accompanied by her father Giuseppe: «I think there really needed some more parking, even though the parking spaces are still not all occupied. The price is also quite affordable although it would have been nice to have the free space as it is a hospital car park. However, I believe that these places here and there will not be enough in the future it will be necessary to create other spaces».
HUNGER FOR PARKING
As time passes, the rooms of the new Cittadella della Salute will fill up more and more and there are many who believe that the new car park, managed by APCOA Parking, it won’t be spacious enough to accommodate everyone. «She wanted us, yes – he reiterates Maria Luisi – it is early, As soon as people find out about this parking lot, it will definitely fill up. I, for example, didn’t know it existed, I saw it from the street as I passed and went in. The cost is also affordable, despite everything.” And, to those who complain about the hourly rate for parking for such an important service as healthcare, someone replies that at least cars are checked while parked: «Useful is useful – he explains Barbara Bragatto – also because in the others it is impossible to find parking and also Those who put their car in prohibited parking now have a hard time finding a hole. Here, although there is a cost, at least the car is in a safe place. Whether there will be enough space in the future is impossible to predict.” Also definitely convinced of the usefulness of these new stalls Manuel Carboniwhich comes from Casale: «It was absolutely useful and the rate is very good. I stayed for three hours and paid only 1.50, a price which is very low compared to the car parks in the center of Treviso. Then it was a nice surprise because I didn’t know it existed and I saw it when I arrived, also because it was completely empty.” He echoes it Marco Moraby Casier, who underlines how the «Extremely popular rate is not a disincentive to parking» and that indeed, «these 320 spaces will not be enough because, in the short term, even though there are no cars now, as soon as people know of its existence, this car park will also always be very full and there will be a need for new parking spaces».
