GOVERNMENT IN CRITICAL MASS BIKE

Local politicians should set an example for future mobility

But luck Mr. Mayor! She is one of the few Turin that can go to work by bicycle along bike paths alone! She knows, I'll definitely have told the commissioner for traffic, the majority of citizens use bicycles as means of transport to travel to the workplace, are not lucky enough to meet even a bit of cycling and daily risk life on the streets of Turin. And she, living in Piazza Vittorio, may instead take the new bike lanes in the center to reach the Town Hall! Yes, yes, the kind that someone does not know with what foresight, want to close, plus support from the local newspaper (see : Emanuela Minucci, Grane cycle, in << The Press>> Sunday, October 19, 2008).
Obviously spare bike path are not connected to each other and then suddenly you find in the street, perhaps in a tangle of tram tracks, but definitely find a way to make do, as indeed it is taken for granted cyclists do in Turin. Perhaps it should also make sure the crossings, because nobody will give priority, will also suffer the "Rasetti" of cars that will be nearly dramatically. When you encounter the inevitable car parked on bike path, will bravely go on the road in danger of being run over by motorists often do not understand why, with hostile cyclist. Alternatively, you can get on the sidewalk, but then you will need to pay attention to traffic wardens who will choose to give her a fine rather than the car parked on bike path.
Well, of course, everything is a bit 'dangerous and stressful, but would want to put as an example? She, like everyone who wants Turin ecological and sustainable future! Perhaps you could infect other local administrators to use an alternate means to go to work. It 'possible that you too if you started to risk their lives on cycle paths maybe you would think to design in a somewhat 'more sensible to make them safe, to connect them with each other and to enforce them.

We wish you a nice ride, offering them a last tip, remember to wear a helmet, we would never read an article in La Stampa: << mayor dies on cycle paths>>!

Love,
Strale

Critical Mass is a spontaneous self-assembly of hundreds of cyclists who, taking advantage of the number (mass), invade the roads normally used by motor traffic. If the mass is sufficient (ie critical), the cycling is also blocked traffic on arterial roads.
Born in San Francisco in 1992 and spread quickly gaining more than a hundred cities in at least fourteen countries, Critical Mass is a clear gesture of protest claiming the use of alternative means to fight the spread of automobile traffic and pollution, and to pave the way for future mobility and ecological sustainability.
In Turin, Critical Mass, is particularly active, up to date and at the forefront of the battles in support of cycling in the city. In recent weeks, for example, was the only voice of dissent and criticism to the proposed abolition of the newest bike paths in the center. In two days of protest, have invaded indicted in mass bike lanes, demonstrating that they are not to abolish them but to improve and above all to enforce, reminding detractors that all the ecological and sustainable mobility is a sign of civilization as well as good sense.

Torino Critical Mass is every first Saturday of the month at 16.00 and third Thursday of each month at 21 in the Town Hall square.

TORINO THE SEA-TO-DOOR NEW

In Turin, in the coming years, Porta Nuova train station will lose its value because of the new underground railway line and will be cut off from the path of trains in the new born and other stations. In this way the stop of Porta Nuova area of \u200b\u200b200,000 square meters of track and 'waiting for new uses. The projects include the transformation of the official station at a shopping mall in the area of \u200b\u200bresidence and the building now occupied by the tracks.

In 2006, the Turin architect Maurizio Zucca proposes a project to reuse the extensive area of \u200b\u200bPorta Nuova: bring some 'sea- Turin with a swimming pool of water instead of the disused track and transform the valuable building in New Port spa, offering hot baths in the long winter.

In recent years the project has met the approval of thousands who joined Torino on a committee supporter, listened to all the local newspapers and national (and some international), radio and publishing houses.

It 's a shame that the only ones to ignore, not respond to open letters and pretend nothing happened, to making fools of themselves, their administrators are citizens.
