- For the municipal spokesman of the orange formation, Manuel Padín, "it is not a matter of painting stripes on the ground and say that we have so many kilometers of bike path in the municipality, we must carry out the proper maintenance and follow the rules of security and the recommendations of the DGT, and from this Group we have serious doubts that this is being fulfilled. "

Cartagena, Tuesday, October 17th.

The Municipal Citizens' Group in Cartagena will take to the next Ordinary Plenary the deficient and third-world status of the bicycle lanes network in the municipality.

From the orange training ensure that they have been detecting and observing a clamorous lack of maintenance, and will urge in the plenary session next Thursday that the competent Department will carry out a review by the municipal technicians of the state of the bike lanes of the municipality and to repainting those stretches that need it, recovering deteriorated pavement, solving safety problems in some stretches and undertaking campaigns to make the pedestrian aware that he should not use these spaces, among other issues.

Citizen spokesman Manuel Padín explained that "this is not an occurrence of our Group, it is something that can be verified by all lovers of cycling in Cartagena, and something that has already denounced the association of urban cyclists MoviliCT who have detected more than fifty black spots ".

"In some of these dangerous sections, only a sign or a prelude to the crosses is required, but if there is no political will we can do little more than denounce it," said Padín.

The spokesman stressed the situation of Juan Fernández Street, "it turns out that the lane has the opposite direction to the road traffic, and there is scarcely any space, not to mention the innumerable problematic crosses, we expect the City Council to react before we must regret some misfortune in that area. "

For Manuel Padín, "it is not a matter of painting stripes on the ground and saying that we have so many kilometers of bike lane in the municipality, we must carry out the proper maintenance and follow the safety regulations and recommendations of the DGT, and from this Group we doubt that this is being fulfilled ".

"As reported a few months ago MoviliCT: is currently popularized the so-called 'Active Cruise' through which many of the thousands of tourists who arrive on the cruises travel the city by bicycle, making it vital for the security and the image of our municipality as a tourist destination that these roads are in perfect conditions, "said the local spokesman of Cs.
