A committee to propose, not to criticize. The premise is made by the forty citizens who met a week ago to create the Viserba Monte Committee, even if the critical issues are already on the agenda. The president is called Daniele Merlini, elected unanimously by the supporting members. The board is made up of Claudio Mazzarino, Luca Ioli and Amedeo Ricini. “The committee – they explain – will be open to anyone who needs advice and help even outside of Viserba Monte. In fact, people in neighboring hamlets have already signed up”. The objective is to become a spokesperson for Rimini north. “We want to be the intermediary between citizens from all over northern Rimini and the administration, collecting reports and collaborating proactively with the administration itself to find suitable solutions”. And here we come to the problems. “The issue of the increase in buildings with relative growth in traffic and the increase in petty crime which is of considerable concern to residents will be addressed. The committee expresses strong concern for the territory upstream from the railway which continues to lose green areas which should be preserved: from parks to agricultural land that has always been full of small and large vegetable gardens characteristic of our area”.
The result is an abundance of vehicles, asphalts which are affected by the increase in flows and the lack of cycle/pedestrian paths and car parks. Furthermore, where present, little maintenance is reported with a strong negative impact on the environment and the quality of life. of the neighborhood”. Having put the problems on the table, the proposals arrive. “We would like to collaborate to enhance public green areas.” While in terms of safety “we will try to identify and report dangerous and deteriorating situations by proposing an increase in public lighting and, if necessary, the installation of cameras”.
Attention to commercial activities. “We would like to enhance and promote the activities present by encouraging access with alternative routes to the car”. Strong attention to two-wheeled mobility with “the promotion of cycle tourism by proposing routes that would connect the sea to the ‘mountain’ and to nearby towns such as Santarcangelo”.
