Milan, Granelli: “Area B reactivation and blue stripes? Citizens asked for it”

“The city has two big problems: congestion and pollution. This year made us understand how these things are very important. We have traffic levels, measured in recent weeks, which reach 47% more than in 2019. . It is clear that we must reintroduce those traffic management measures, as happens in all European cities, to facilitate the use of public transport, sustainable means and to decrease car traffic which occupies the most space and pollutes the most. “. Thus the Councilor for Mobility and Public Works of the Municipality of Milan, Marco Granelli, on the occasion of the presentation of the safe driving course for electric scooters organized by Link and Aci. Just on the day in which Milan reactivates the cameras in Area B and the payment on the blue stripes, the commissioner explains: “The citizens write to us from the neighborhoods begging us to put the blue and yellow stripes back on because they can’t park. of schools, now public transport has fewer passengers “. Finally Marco Granelli spoke of underground parking:” We have some construction sites open, we have just finished a car park in the Buenos Aires area, we have a construction site that will open in Scalabrini and one in Brasilia. These they are new parking lots. In the last 2 years we have implemented a thousand more parking spaces in the interchange parking lots. This is the right strategy, cars must stay as little as possible on the street “.
