Go by bike from Mappano to Turin it will be by the end of the year possible. Not that it wasn’t now, but it was (and currently still is) at the rider’s risk on one very busy road and certainly not too safe for those who pedal on two wheels. A dangerous road system, obviously not on the entire stretch up to Corso Vercelli, since the Municipality of Turin is already taking steps to build it on the stretch under its jurisdiction and now Mappano will do so too.
Last Wednesday, Wednesday 12 June, in fact, the Mappanese council has the executive project was approved which will connect Mappano with the start of the Turin cycle path.
«With this intervention – explains the councilor for Public Works, Massimo Tornabene – we will connect Mappano with the stretch of track already under construction by the Metropolitan City, along the Falchera flyover. A project that we shared entirely with Turin”
From the roundabout, therefore, of via Galilei, along the stretch east of via Rivarolo which runs alongside the European Union Park up to the Laghetti Park e at the Cascina Falchera hub. Cost of the work 271 thousand euros with tender tender this summer and start of work in autumn.
“A intervention that we will be able to carry out at no cost to the people of Mappabut thanks to the ability, already widely demonstrated by the municipal machine, to acquire non-repayable contributions – continues Tornabene -. Now we are working to acquire new resourcespossibly always on a non-refundable basis, which will subsequently allow us to continue with the construction of the cycle path that connects our municipality to Leini».
A new fundamental step towards increasingly sustainable mobility. On the other hand – and, to confirm this and notwithstanding the UN – the bicycle is one of the most suitable means of transport for promoting sustainable development and fighting the climate crisis. Ecological, democratic, healthy and efficient, the bicycle can play a fundamental role in reducing CO2 emissions and traffic and a safe cycle path is undoubtedly the best incentive that a municipality can offer its citizens.
