Within the process of updating the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (PMUS), the City Council of Torres de Cotillas held two informative sessions yesterday, Thursday, January 16, to present the main results of the diagnosis (http://bit.ly/2TiTNmc) and Contribute ideas for joining this initiative.
These meetings, held in the plenary hall of the City Council had two schedules: one for local companies and concessionaires, and another for local associations and citizens in general.
"Now the phase begins to plan and schedule the proposals corresponding to all areas that affect mobility," explains the mayor, Joaquín Vela Fernández, who was present in both sessions - as well as in another one with the municipal team created to the update of this plan- and highlights that "the participation of our neighbors will contribute a lot in this plan that will serve to organize the mobility of the future in Las Torres de Cotillas".
In addition to the contributions made in person, interested persons can continue to make them through an online form (https://www.e-encuesta.com/r/y6fDPtk4ruB6LhdA7J5kFg/) until January 31.
The PMUS is framed in the Sustainable and Integrated Urban Development Strategy (EDUSI) 'Las Torres Conecta', which is 80% co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), through the Multiregional Operational Program of Spain 2014-2020 .
This action is framed in Line of Action LA 02, 'Development of sustainable urban mobility, connection with districts and industrial areas', belonging to thematic objective 4 (OT4)' Encourage the transition to a low carbon economy in all sectors '.
Looking for a balance
This update of the PMUS began last September, with the information collection phase carried out last through telephone surveys of residents of the municipality, street surveys, inventories and gauging.
With all these data an analysis has been carried out and the diagnosis document has been prepared, which has allowed identifying the needs and deficiencies of the current mobility model, as well as the opportunities for improvement.
"The PMUS must ensure a balance between the needs of mobility and accessibility, in a way that favors the protection of the environment, boosts economic development and improves social inclusion, basic principles for achieving sustainable mobility," explains Vela Fernández.
This balance has to translate into an improvement in the mobility of citizens, with coherent networks of pedestrians and bicycles, guaranteeing access to public transport, pacifying traffic, promoting more sustainable means of transport and achieving increased security. vial
Some objectives that will lead to a decrease in accidents and a decrease in pollution, both environmental and acoustic, derived from traffic.
