More Tram ', the platform has been established for more than a year to promote the implementation of the metropolitan transportation in the Bay of Cadiz, is now expanding its field performance and to become a forum for discussion of communications and urban mobility of capital.
would be the first time a collective, formed in turn by organizations and associations of various kinds, we propose a project of this kind, questioning public transport, organization and pricing. More Tram spokesman, Francisco Piniella says already produced the first meetings in which topics have been discussed such as reducing the entry of private cars to downtown or the reservation of certain parking spaces for residents in this area. In the last meeting there has emerged a document containing all these issues with the idea of \u200b\u200bsubmitting to the relevant authorities such as City Hall and the Andalusian. " The proposals have been included in the so-called Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan of the City of Cadiz. Less private cars
The platform consists of neighborhood associations as Cadiz and Las Tres Torres Center, Agadir, Anncaje, the Bay of Cadiz Cycling Assembly, Student Assembly, ATTAC, DAUC, Facua, Ecologists in Action, the board Staff of the City of Cadiz, Union of Traders, Consumers Union and the General Plan Alternative groups, bicycle lanes and XXI Cadiz.
The plan on the work already referred to enhancement of public transport over private, especially trams and buses, coordinate these means, to implement a new tariff policy to generalize the use of specially priced bus pass for pensioners, unemployed and students, encouraging the use of bicycle through bike paths and establish the system of loans of this two-wheeled vehicle which already operates in other urban centers. David Cifredo, president of Facua, one of the partnerships built on the platform says that the alternative posed is "a natural evolution. The tram was an isolated incident and that was making it easier for us to meet to discuss. " At these words added that "what really united us was looking for more mobility and create a comfortable city to move. We want to be a sustainable city Cadiz and the means of transport to move truly serve. " In short, what we seek from the consumer association and from "More Light Rail" is "a new model city."
Regarding the reduction of eight trains a day between San Fernando and Cadiz, Daniel Lopez, Ecologists in Action, ruling that it is "offensive to public transport." For Lopez, the solution will come with a "firm commitment to public transport and bicycle," to improve the conditions and prices, and "so people are increasingly encouraged to use their private car."
considers that the decision to remove seats Renfe railway is "the snake biting its tail: if you do not offer good service, people use less." Ecologists in Action for increased parking in the center of Cadiz is another error, because 'it is encouraging that the Cadiz come to The Old Town in their cars. " The commissioning of the second bridge is another action that encourages the citizens' movement to fight for a more sustainable center, since "it will be another important focus of driveway." In
recent meetings held in 'More Tram' neighbors have been the main center, to consider "the most affected." Bike Rail Group has been one of the last to join the cause with his choice of a path "feasible" for cycles in Cadiz. General Transport Comes will be the next to hear the mobility plan of the organization as metropolitan transport company and provincial levels. Daniel Lopez opens the option, Comes For example, an extension of collaborating agents believe in the possibility of going further.
success seems to have achieved in so little time, given the support of neighbors, it is possible that in the next agencies days, groups or associations decide to be part of the first forum was born in Cadiz as a strong alternative to a center full of jams, fumes and works.
