but the Municipality of Senigallia expects less collections

SENIGALLIA The revenue forecasts for parking have been reduced, despite the increases for summer parking starting in June. In particular, they will concern an extra euro per day parkingthe exchangers and in the daily subscription. In the budget change, which will be presented to the city council tomorrow, the prediction of 1,350,000 euros for paid parking has been reduced by 150 thousand euros, therefore dropping to 1,200,000 euros.

Instead, the expenditure of 231,500 euros was included in favor of Senigallia Servizi, a special company of the Municipality which will take care of parking management. «The parking revenues were calculated very prudently – explains Nicola Regine, councilor for Public Works and Mobility – taking into account the transfer of the service to Senigallia Servizi, which will have to hire 7 traffic assistants and prepare from an organizational point of view».

The 2024 budget forecast did not yet include the transfer of paid parking management to Senigallia Servizi, approved in the last municipal council. This is why the estimate of the collection has been reduced, considering this transition which will take place from 15 June, the day on which paid parking on the Riviera will come into force. The car parks in the historic center, which are available all year round, are also considered in the total revenue. The increases that will start this year, in mid-June, on the seafront and surrounding streets therefore concern 1 euro more in the daily pass (from 8 to 9 euros), while the monthly pass goes from 156 to 165 euros. In the exchange car parks you will pay 4 euros per day and no longer 3 and campers will spend 7 euros instead of 6 per day. Increases that concern exclusively summer parking. The start was postponed from June 1st to 15th so as not to interfere with the chaos expected at the European Harley Davidson gathering, and the end was extended from September 15th to 30th. This year there will be fewer parking spaces available in the former Sacelit area because a part has been occupied by the construction site of the nearby port area, but other blue spaces will be created in the former Tucano parking lot which were free until last summer.

The variations

«In total, the blue parking areas are more or less the same – continues the councilor – the variations are truly minimal». What will increase will be the controls because Senigallia Servizi will make 7 traffic assistants available. It will therefore be more difficult for the crafty to get away with it. The collections of fines, however, are not included in the parking proceeds chapter, but rather in the total fines which, for 2024, are estimated at 2 million and 300 thousand euros. «The investigations of the traffic auxiliaries end up in the total fines of the local police – concludes councilor Regine – because they only carry out the investigation of the violation and functionally depend on the local police even if paid by Senigallia Servizi». The local police will in fact notify the sanctions, which will follow their investigations.
