Peppe Caridi - Reggio Calabria and projecting into the future with new urban mobility plans.

Governor Joseph Scopelliti has presented important new deliberate by the Government in a press conference at the Palace of the Regional Council of Reggio alderman with the Regional Budget, Giacomo Mancini, alderman of Transport of the Municipality of Reggio Calabria, Amedeo Channel, to ' CEO Atami, Demy Arena and many Regional Councillors elected in the district Reggina.

Scopelliti has traced, in the beginning, the whole process of a story that had very strong tone of the campaign fueled the clash between the former Governor and former Regional Councillors Loiero Naccari and Flesh and the Municipality of Reggio, represented by Scopelliti, he was still Mayor, the Councillor Amedeo Channel and technical coordinator of the plan to mobility Gianni Artuso. January 30 title as follows: Scopelliti imbufalito thunders against the State: "cheese does not touch, we will make a revolution" and that press conference in Palazzo San Giorgio was an endless game without controversy blows and harsh responses especially between Naccari, then Transport Councillor of the Region, and Palazzo San Giorgio.

"It 's useless to repeat what we already know - debuted Scopelliti - because the abuses carried out against this city by the previous Regional Administration of the past and are no longer characterize the work of the new government of Calabria. I have here the documents certifying that our projects, made with great excellence and record-time, involving all the skills towns, were considered consistent and functional arrangements already taken last year by the Regional Manager of the area of Programming and Management transport infrastructure, Louis Zinno. But Loiero, Incarnate and preferred to leave Naccari Reggio, trying to unload the blame on a commune which has instead acted with virtuous mechanisms. But now the months have passed, to rule the region fortunately there are those people and we are here to tell you that those divisions, those spiteful and those provincial policies belong only to the past. We are working hard to urban mobility plans, and we finally called Reggio pace with other cities Calabresi. We have released 115 million € for the City of Reggio Calabria and € 100 000 have been funded to study the feasibility of project ideas. Now, after a few months of work, Reggio is on par with other cities Calabresi and all together, working for the good of Calabria, we will work for the concrete implementation of these mobility plans. Our listing is not an election like that of a few months ago when Naccari Loiero and promised the moon without any financial security. Ours is the policy of the facts. "

He then took the floor to Budget Councillor James Mancini: "It was not easy to start working by regional governments, because we have found real disasters in all sectors. With heavy legacy and a thousand difficulties, we rolled up our sleeves and we decided to tackle the problems head on. Specifically, with regard to urban mobility systems, we found a Memorandum of Understanding done at the end of last term between the Region and the Municipality of Reggio Calabria. It was just an electoral cartel with obvious differences compared to other cities with which the region since 2007 had pursued such a project. The region was lagging behind conronti Reggio due to deliberate action by the scientific and former Regional Council, which in any way hindered the growth and development of the City of the Straits. Now we have consigned to history and the past, these logics becere bad-administration and we are defining the future of the Metropolitan Strait, laying the groundwork for a system of avant-garde. On 8 July, the regional manager has signed the financing of € 100,000 for the feasibility study for this important work mobility will lead to a new context for Reggio Calabria at the level building, with a positive distortions in the values of homes in many areas of the city today more marginal compared to the old town which are linked to hiccups. Realize multistorey car parks, new treadmills and new railway stations in a system that will integrate well with the new waterfront is working Palazzo San Giorgio. This City will be a great mobility model for the entire region. The total value of the work is 115 million €: this is an important and positive step to improve this metropolitan city. The intervention is not limited to the City of Reggio - added Mancini - but more to the north, Rosamond, and reaches of Melito Porto Salvo, and has an almost provincial context. A broader discourse needs to be done for the whole of Calabria. The investments are added to those on Reggio Cosenza, Catanzaro Lamezia and where we intend to enhance the airport, in a context of wide international flights, and mobility in urban centers. Reggio retrieves a gap today than in previous years, what was harassed by delays and political science and planned by the previous regional governments. We intend to overcome the system and transport infrastructure of our region and we are working with many dynamics to give Calabria, modern and functional mobility needs of this earth. "

Mancini has also spent great words of praise for Directors of Reggio Calabria and in particular by Amedeo Channel, the Transport Councillor of the City Reggina: "We have a great team in recent months, regions and communities concomitantly. In terms of this project for urban mobility have created a positive and virtuous un'interlocuzione that has borne fruit evident.

And Amadeus Channel thanked "on behalf of the City" Governor Scopelliti because "today is able to return to the Community so need the opportunity to realize projects on which the ruling class in these years Much has been spending" and Alderman Mancini which has been shown to overcome all the political and territorial divisions that had first inspired the region's problems. With him we had suffered great tune. Another thanks goes, finally, to our engineers of the City have proved able to respond very quickly. "

Channel added that "the first draft was presented from above, fell on the head of the city. It was just one spot election without a measure of financial security but also harmful to the city on that commitment because there were no studies and evaluations of logistics that only those who live the daily reality Reggina can do. We are now able to open six new stations in Reggio and we see, finally, the same attention to this city than in relation to other Cities. He's also been concerned Scopelliti of Cosenza, Catanzaro and other provinces, as is fitting, but also reported Reggio on the track of growth and development, like other regions. Calabria is finally all together. Reggio, after a decade, finds that just takes Dignity. "

Demy Arena Atami CEO, said "the city is recovering built up the infrastructure gap between the '80s and '90s, when Reggio was the only city that exploited the funding of the 'Law Tognoli' which was that aims at achieving the parking lots. Reggio is free parking for its lack of planning policies in those years. Now the sea part of the city come increasingly into contact with the hills, and finally we can make parking in Piazza Garibaldi and the top of the treadmill that will enhance even further the function of moving himself, someone has paid only reviews aesthetic, even calling him 'a ride' but ignoring the most important aspect, namely the importance that covers the logistics of moving the city mobility. "

The Deputy Regional Nicholas Alexander, added that this measure is "fruit of the policy making that emphasizes the mentality of Scopello, a governor who has brought a new wave and a new model to the region in which the Province Reggio is situated in a major as well as throughout the Calabrese.

Projects therefore revolutionize urban mobility system of Reggio, concern the implementation of other treadmills (one probably from the station on Lido since Cardinal Portanova, to connect the coastal railway line to the pole hospital, university and Palazzo della Regione), the parking decks (they would already cantierabili Aschenez ones away, Piazza del Popolo and Piazza Garibaldi) of railway lines and stations so as to network between the City Waterfront, Via Cardinale Portanova, the tangential upstream in the hills of Reggio rich points of interest, and then rejoining the quadrangle along the straps of Calopinace.

As regards plans and projects, in the coming hours post detailed models with floor plans and exclusive images of works containing the new structure of urban mobility with the operations of public transport in the coming years will change the face of the city.

This measure was presented to the press on the occasion of an important date for the city's history and especially of public transport in cities and mobiltà in the center. On July 20, 2009, and almost exactly a year ago, was inaugurated by the treadmill of Giudecca. A system of walkways connecting the Waterfront to the hilly area of the city and that after 365 Gorni (or almost missing a week states to 1 year of moving) still works perfectly, with a dutiful manutenzone, efficiency and a Nordic decent décor. The moving was the scene of photo exhibitions and the attentions of tourists, but - more importantly - given the historical city center ever more humane, clean, breathable, less pollution, turning away a first-infested traffic, smog and parking in a savage new pedestrian definitely more enjoyable and appreciated by citizens.

One important message of a city that continues to grow in practice, despite the widespread skepticism towards anything is proposed and designed.
