The city we want : what mobility
The photograph of coarse-grained mobility in Taranto can be derived from reading the data from the 2001 census. In our area, inhabited by more than 190,000 residents, are held about 110,000 daily trips just to go to school (about 45%) and work (approx. 55%), this value is more than half of the trips are measured in the Province Taranto and less than a tenth of those regional .. Of those that take place within the commune, about 70% (over 72,000) is made by residents in the capital while the remainder is held by residents in the province and the region. Generally, employees use as a vital form of transport the car (on average 65% with higher values \u200b\u200bfor workers coming from out of town) and just take the bus (around 5%), in contrast to students when they come from out of town primarily use the bus (more than 70% or about 4,300), students living in the capital prefer to walk (about 15,000 or more than 40%), being acoompagnati (about 9,000 or about 27% of resident students) and just go by bus (about 17% or about 6,000). Even 15% of workers (just under 7,000) use to walk to work.
This is the picture overall aseptic but in everyday life is reflected in some way that everyone who lives, moves, use the road, he sees during his movement, and produces a result. And of course the need to reduce the time, arriving in time at work or school, to make the movements necessary to the existence of each of us confrontatno - scontran apparentaemnte on that place so ungovernable that is the road, the sidewalk and then fight for parking or to go with the stroller. And the themes of mobility become symptomatic in order to assess the quality of life for everyone since the traffic or the noise of the other is always worse than that produced by us, because "it looks like driving that cock ....." This is the picture enthusiast.
In between is the ability to govern, make choices that are necessary to balance the needs (that everyone knows very well) and the collective (of which we forget with some abitudinarietà). The theme of mobility, or of his government, can then become symptomatic in order to re-align the relationship between individual cities and towns of public spaces, intended that the road is now regarded as a public space par excellence, used to power by all, but which lends attention only when addressing the ball or the car is double parked.
The site of the rebalancing we said, melt the space where individual and collective needs, where the city can re-learn some basic rules of coexistence from the signal being given by the Administration, that the government instead of relying to the 'self' and "common sense" of the citizen. The road, a symbolic place where the governments most likely fall over, where the changes are never painless, where it is better to "let live" rather than a means for promoting compliance with the walkway. And yet a city which is measured with the proper functioning of the road so far largely with the proper functioning of its arterial system, the road that brings oxygen, the road to wealth and just ask the dealers if they prefer a road open or closed to traffic.
The topic is so delicate but not the actions of government can forget that there is given its importance. And then you need to identify actions to be put in place to restore balance to the system of needs, without which the only "loser" or a citizen with reduced mobility or pedestrians (some say that the pedestrian is a motorist who has just left car), adult or child.
WEIGHT TO PUBLIC TRANSPORT - The road, a place of balance we have said, where the public service is now configured as an element of "is" though "asked" by many citizens, who meet a certain cost ol ' only possibility of movement. And where instead of the public service will find dignity, strength and ability to attract people, so as to become too efficient alternative to the car, even for long-distance residential sprawl that has given us (bringing the city) .
WHERE / HOW: To strengthen the sense of transport local public action is needed then different organizational types of general and specific, the former involving checking the overall arrangement of the network in order to verify the incompatibility between public and private transport, by entrusting a functional reorganization of the mesh Street the task of identifying the best business solution of the network of public transport in relation to the spatial complexity, it comes to dealing with serious about planning and management system of the TPL as defined by law, in relation to land use and the organization of the urban road network, and should therefore face the drafting of the contract service to become involved in territorial needs rather than leave just business logic, but by respectable broker with the meaning of its public transport service, paid by the community as
But at the same time address issues of a more microscopic : accessibility to the service and the regularity of it which can be addressed immediately with a series of actions rather simple:
- project acceptance of the stops: the action plan to make welcoming stops (shelters), accessible (elimination of stop in front of the legs and timely reconfiguration of pedestrian access), control lanes;
- Infobus project: to complete the process started with the testing and extension to the whole network;
balance the relationship - The road as an element of value for urban centers, places of public attraction, out of necessity or for pleasure, where access to the service is easy but at the same time respecting the principles of health. We refer, for example, places the health and education, often forgotten by the devastating effects produced by urban traffic and air pollution such as noise, because the road is not only is complicit in our movements, but as mocking concentrate harmful effects, not least the risk of accidents, especially when high near places with high attractiveness of utilities weak .. And then rebalance the relationship between city and street in those places that symbolize the existence of the community, where you perceive the role that society has against the individual citizen.
WHERE / HOW: Two places for example: the hospital and away gold medals, the way of schools. The organization and the quality of the circulatory road system is not suited to the needs of accessibility, but also of "sensitivity environment "of those places. As for the hospital should strengthen the system of reception of the stop emphasizing the role of the car park via Oberdan, and this will happen by implementing a series of actions in partnership with the USL aimed at better "conversation" of the parking, possibly with increase in the hospital.
regard instead go gold medals, the way of schools, the effort of government to finalize the environmental rehabilitation of the road, especially in times of school activity in order to readjust the relationship is currently troubled by road function acquitted Users on the same street Golden. It should then undertake a process of involving children, parents and school boards in order to build a proposal to be submitted to the citizens to solve this problem evident. The laboratories of the district will be the site of confrontation / clash between proposals / needs / expectations
Not only that, we said the road as the arterial system of the community which brings wealth and economic systems, however, must offer not only the ability to move but also to stop. And then rebalance the parking system to make it equally accessible to the places of business offer.
WHERE / HOW: Two places for all who suffer the same problem: the village and Viale Liguria. The shortfall in supply of parking is evident in both areas "commercial" in Taranto and the way to balance the relationship can be identified by two complementary action lines: public car parks within its appropriate size to be realized through the instrument of Project Financing , car parks to reduce the overcrowding of the public road from the flooded residential parking and the rest of the audience. Management Plan for the rest able to govern the issue that is calibrated around the overall needs of the city system.
balance the relationship it means preparing for the new General Plan of Urban Traffic of Taranto, an instrument that will have to address in detail issues relating to the needs of urban mobility, not only in terms of fluidity of movement but also in terms of finding the best balance of the needs that are expressed on the street, with special attention to vulnerable users (pedestrians, cyclists) to be empowered to tackle the trails with the highest levels of security. This must be done from invariant infrastructural in the meantime are not without substance on the territory, however, identify any corrective actions aimed at small-denomination better compatibility of the overall solution. And from the start this season Urban Mobility Plan, an instrument that will provide the framework for the overall transport system to service a vast area of \u200b\u200bland and production of large-scale meshes.
Yes, because the road is now a euphemism, a figure of speech indicates that in this case, the complexity of the system consists not only asphalt, but also by water, iron and air. And this seems to be a strategic asset immediacy with which to move around: you will need to be tackled early, given the opportunities that are gradually building around two poles of interest supra (Port of Taranto Grottaglie Airport), the proper and balanced relationship between the transport systems available and the prospect of their integration for the establishment of a logistics platform of the most powerful in the Mediterranean and then the identification and resolution of specific problems that have so far stopped the implementation of the solutions for a long time, not least by-pass the State Massafra that let them connect to the motorway system no longer in awe of sorts, allowing the release currently suffered by the subjection of the town. This is the great value of the Goods economic potential that lies ahead as our region, the possibility of becoming wedged interchange with adequate supply of advanced logistics routes of globalization, so as to provide a significant return, even indirectly, to ' local economy by providing added value to the productive sectors that will inject new life into the territory. The transport system, therefore, as the lymphatic system for easy mobility and sustainable local products, and as an opportunity to revitalize the local economies on the ease of transit of goods benefit. Again If the partnership with the private system becomes important driver to support the actions required to achieve the strategic objectives.
and returning to the men's movement, wishing to remain in the multimodal dimension of precendete paragraph, to address another strategic issue no less important than the previous or the constitution of the urban transport hub of the city of Taranto: The new Porta Napoli . Once again facing the possibility of integrating strategic transport systems and also provide services to the city in support of actions to encourage tourism in the city and province. And then locate in the triangle between the port (s pier Eligio Cast passenger) railway station and the Stone Bridge location of existing and potential supply, iron and water in which to implement a program of "urban renewal" that would enable the area to contain a terminal service local public transport, a bus station, public parking, business services and accommodation so as to achieve the "logistics platform of people, easy to use, architecturally important and which contains all the functions modal interchange between systems, passenger services, not least the terminal of the civil airports of Bari and Brindisi, and why not Grottaglie, so as to approach the city \u200b\u200bto the air mode, now far away. And from here onwards with the actions of tariff unification, to facilitate exchanges between vehicles, action needed to reduce loss of time which usually beset us when we face the move, integrate the supply of parking, so promote exchanges between private and public, and why not begin to think about a mass rapid transport system linking the new port and the Naples train station to the city.
The principle of order and then re-balance but also to develop, operate on the balance not only the limitations but also by enhancing the offer. The money seems to be the only problem with this mirror, but I think this topic of primary importance may be overlooked for a moment to check the validity of the overall structure. The Regional Operational Plan shall contain any actions for the realization of some points (negotiation activity with the region that can not be left to the Commissioner) and also no one should exclude the value of individuals to be properly controlled with the aim of achieving common objective.
