The final project for a 200 meter cycle/pedestrian path arrives at the city council today which, starting from via Fiume Abbandonato and the Borgo Montone primary school, will connect with the cycle/pedestrian path behind the Esp. A stretch that will connect with the cycle/pedestrian path of Via Quaroni with which to reach Viale Alberti and the city. A work that will allow those reaching the town from the countryside to bypass via Einstein and the Austria roundabout but which Lista per Ravenna, despite voting in favor, judges as «a minimal benefit for Borgo Montone» which «will not reduce the tormented living conditions of its inhabitants due to the unbalanced political choices which allowed the construction, 200 meters from the town, of a hypermarket with “100 shops and the ExtraCoop where everything is possible” (says the advertisement) and to build concrete, putting the town at greater risk of flooding entire area, almost 50 thousand square meters of former agricultural land, with 3,300 parking spaces and an immense lunar road just below the Montone river”. The group leader Alvaro Ancisi presents an agenda to ask for the end of the works foreseen in an agreement stipulated with the Municipality in 2014, (i.e. the widening of the Austria roundabout, with the creation of a preferential lane towards Borgo Montone), taking into account the danger of the stretch of via Einstein that connects the town to the main entrance of Esp. «For 90% of the inhabitants who live in the center of the town, to get to Esp, there is no cycle/pedestrian path parallel to via Einstein, crossed continuously by infernal traffic, especially heavy vehicles, nor a reserved lane on the Austria roundabout. This is as narrow as it was before the Esp was doubled in 2017 and in 2022 the Rosa dei Venti, a large residential facility for non-self-sufficient elderly people, was built on another 15 thousand square meters next to the roundabout.” Ancisi also remembers when the Municipality decided, 7 years ago, that the intervention “was not strictly indispensable”. Finally, LpRa’s agenda will ask for information on the new road connection between via Fiume Abbandonato, near San Marco and Esp, included in the agreement signed in 2014.
