Via Verde increasingly busy, three Municipalities ask for an urgent meeting with the Province

The growing presence of cyclists and pedestrians and the difficult coexistence between them worries the Municipalities which ask for an urgent meeting with the president of the Province of Chieti, Francesco Menna. The mayors of Fossacesia wrote, Enrico Di GiuseppantonioSan Vito Chietino, Emiliano Bozzelli and Rocca San Giovanni, Fabio Caravaggiowho had already focused on the safety issue in recent years.

«Today the flow of people who frequent the street has increased considerably, resulting in a difficult coexistence between pedestrians and cyclists – say Di Giuseppantonio, Bozzelli and Caravaggio – The routes assigned to one and the others have become narrow due to the number of presences and this generates falls, dangerous situations and even accidents, as happened last Sunday. The lush vegetation contributes to making the use of the track even more difficult, which requires imminent mowing in view of the warm season now upon us. The Via Verde is a route that many families prefer and it is essential that we think about starting inspection services and regulating its use. Even at night. There are sections that are devoid of lighting and this increases the danger situation. I am sure that our invitation will be welcomed by President Menna and the heads of the competent offices of the Province.”
