| Collective MoviliCT for your Health | After almost a year of waiting since the previous meeting, no specific deadlines for the execution of some actions considered essential have been put on the table, which makes the groups fear that everything is in a photo and the preparation of documents that as other times , once developed, they were left forgotten in the bottom of a drawer. "After a little more than two hours of meeting and debate among the members of the same we have been, on the one hand, excited, by the issues that have been discussed; and on the other, puzzled, as there are no specific dates.
We fear that they will not be carried out as on other occasions, "says Loto Fernández, from the MoviliCT for your Health collective. "It is true that there is harmony in terms of the actions to be carried out and that the document presented by the City Council largely collects many of our requests, but we are concerned about the lack of specificity in them, especially of some actions such as the lane bici del la calle Esparta, projected more than a year ago, but not carried out; and the signage of the bike lane on calle Juan Fernández.
" comments Eduardo Lucas, from Bicue. "We would like that while the PMUS (Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan) is being prepared by members of the UPCT, some urgent actions are not stopped, such as the replacement of eliminated zebra crossings (the one located in front of the Perpetuo de Socorro ) and others necessary in the large streets of Cartagena (Alameda de San Antón and Paseo de Alfonso XIII) "indicates José Ángel Vivancos of Vía Libre. In addition, from the groups in favor of Active Sustainable Mobility, it is also proposed to implement educational programs for citizen awareness and safe and sustainable travel urgently.
"After the successful start-up of the Safe School Paths project two years ago, due to the lack of institutional support, they have not continued.
Actions like these do not require a large investment, since it is the families themselves who they carry most of the burden of them, but it requires minimal support from the local administration, "says Paula Valdivieso, from Mothers for Climate. "We are also very concerned that the new infrastructures do not include roads to facilitate the movement of pedestrians, people with reduced mobility and cyclists.
Although at the time we met with the City Council and made a series of requests for them to be included in The Rambla II Plan, we do not know if they will be taken into account, even more so after the irresponsible action of the construction company on the Avenida del Cantón highway, published in all the media, which fortunately seems to have been resolved ", comments Susana Otón from the MoviliCT collective. Pending the next meeting of the Table, which apparently will be in January of next year, the citizen groups will continue working.
Along these lines, a Bicifestation is being prepared for November 6 that will end at the zebra crossing of Bª de la Concepción, where a minute of silence will be kept in memory of the recently deceased worker, when he was run over in that place.
