Sanremo. «The beautiful street that accompanies and leads to the central Piazza Colombo deserves greater attention.
After the problems of drunk homeless men on benches, the supermarket security guard being beaten up, the shopkeepers and residents of Corso Garibaldi also have to deal with the problem of maintaining the greenery! The councilor says so Stephen Isaiah (League) who, like a river in flood, continues: «I was called by the traders of the well-known tree-lined avenue and I immediately took charge of the report. After my inspection and having collected the testimonies of residents, I found myself in front of an avenue where the beautiful plane trees, which due to their size and large foliage resemble oaks and maples,
they are seriously left to their own devices and maintenance of the greenery does not seem to have taken place for a long time and this can be seen even by an inexperienced eye.”
«Precisely because of my lack of knowledge on the subject, I consulted experts and professionals who reiterated that pruning of plane trees must be carried out in a dry period during the vegetative rest of the plants, avoiding, where possible, horizontal cuts and pollarding – he adds Isaiah -. Disinfection of cutting surfaces with disinfectant solutions is also recommended. Furthermore, I sadly note that some flowerbeds previously filled with beautiful flowers and protected by expertly crafted cast iron fences have been removed and eliminated entirely.”
«Returning to the plane trees, present on both sides of the avenue in question, I notice that unfortunately the dry branches fall to the ground and fly everywhere – he states -. The pollen from these majestic trees, which absolutely need to be protected, invades the roadway, leaving accumulations on the road surface, representing a clear danger for motorcyclists.”
«I will therefore be responsible for verifying the correct planning of the cleaning of the greenery in the competent offices – concludes Isaia – Hoping for prompt intervention and I will ask for clarification for the suppressed flowerbeds, also examining whether the cast iron railings can be reused for other flowerbeds even if located in other areas of our Sanremo”.
