“It is clear that, sometimes, the designers do not live the territory and this can lead to underestimating the real needs of the people who live in it and the directives that the administration instills. But if the administration is careful intervenes in time. It is what happened with the intervention On the cycle path in via del Vesprus, which generated some inconveniences, in particular to the most fragile user who goes to the ASP polyclinic every day. As soon as we realized the design inconsistencies and the critical issues, we immediately have the block of works will be arranged: For over a month, the construction site has been stopped just to allow a punctual revision of the intervention. I personally followed the story, going on the spot together with the deputy mayor and councilor Salvatore Mondello and to the general manager Salvo Puccioand I immediately asked that the project was reviewed. I recalled the responsible manager and prepared a variant who took into account the needs that emerged. It had already happened with the Sant’Agata cycle path and we managed to intervene in time and solve the problem. The goal is to restore the stalls for the disabled and guarantee full accessibility to the clinics. Without prejudice to the value of the overall project linked to sustainable mobility and the realization of the cycle paths, it is equally clear that each intervention must start from a careful observation of the territory and its specificities. This is why I asked managers to pay more attention in the design phase, so that similar situations no longer occur in the future “.
