PESCARA – The “tour of the abandoned areas” of the city of Pescara by the mayoral candidate of the civic coalition continues unabated Domenico Pettinari, who once again returned to make his disappointment heard and to present proposals from one of the symbolic areas of the city.
“We are located in the hills of Pescara. Some people pleasantly call them “Collywood”, some others remember the notable development that has been witnessed in recent years, but the reality is that one of the city’s historic places is now in a state of total abandonment”.
“Broken roads, broken pavements and neglect of the greenery – reports Pettinari – characterize this beautiful area which has always represented the history of our city. What now reigns supreme in these parts – he underlines – is total abandonment, especially on the part of every political class that has governed the city in recent years”.
A situation already denounced in recent months by the mayoral candidate of the civic coalition who, having returned to the site alongside the residents, had to note that unfortunately nothing has changed.
“Already arriving by car – he explains – it feels like being on a roller coaster due to broken roads full of chasms, very dangerous for motorists. Great difficulties also for those who travel the streets of the neighborhood on foot, due to the uneven pavements, as well as dirty streets full of weeds and waste. But the most shameful thing – Pettinari denounces – is that this situation has persisted for several years now without anyone having ever lifted a finger to improve it, while now, a few months before the elections, someone is trying to patch things up by making citizens believe they are able to govern the city”.
Palliatives in front of which the mayoral candidate says he is disconcerted and indignant because “they cannot think of recovering some last minute votes – he underlines – forgetting all the accidents that have occurred in recent years, which have involved both motorists and people on foot who have fallen disastrously into due to broken sidewalks. Despite some insignificant attempts at recovery by the current municipal administration, there are still many problems to be solved in this neighborhood.”
The reference is to the numerous roads that are still “cracked” or, in many cases, too narrow and therefore very dangerous to travel by car, uneven pavements, urban greenery in a total state of abandonment, with unkempt flowerbeds which in some cases end up inside of homes and dirt in every corner.
“There is a lack of safety, there is a lack of parking for the disabled, in short – Pettinari underlines with regret – the dignity of the people is missing here, but not due to their demerit, simply due to inertia and indifference on the part of the relevant bodies”.
What should be done according to Pettinari? “In the meantime, start again from cleaning the entire neighborhood, with care for urban decor, greenery and maintenance of streets and sidewalks. Our government program, in this direction, is ready to accept citizens’ requests to resolve all present inconveniences”.
Objectives that the Mayoral candidate proposes to achieve in Pescara Colli as well as in numerous other areas of the city now forgotten and in a state of abandonment.
“Pescara colli represents the emblem of a now widespread problem – explains Pettinari – We must aim for a total restyling of entire neighborhoods with the bringing of roads and pavements up to standard which will finally have to be made safe, installing speed deterrents to slow down the race of cars whizzing by at full speed, marking pedestrian crossings with clearly visible stripes on the asphalt and equipping the streets with adequate, visible and precise road signs. Let’s make our city beautiful by taking care of the greenery down to the smallest detail, cleaning all the corners and fighting those who litter, with fines that will be raised against those who do not respect the rules, thanks to the installation of photo traps against illegal landfills Citywide”.
Solving a series of problems, to make the city of Pescara beautiful and welcoming, but not only that, also “accessible to all those who are most disadvantaged – announces Pettinari – with the demolition of an infinite series of architectural barriers that make it impossible to disabled access to city services. There’s little left until the elections now – concludes Pettinari. If the citizens of Pescara decide to entrust us with the future management of the city, they must know that we will work immediately to restore to everyone the dignity they deserve, without exception, because the city is a common good for the entire population. We will work side by side with citizens to rediscover the authentic beauty of Pescara and its historic vocation, which has its roots in tourism, one of the driving sectors of the economy, thanks to the sea, mountains, rivers and, last but not least, good food and The air you breathe among its people, who will always be at the center of our objectives.
