Since the orange training show concern that the local government is not clear about the new model of mobility for Murcia, as demonstrated by the lack of coordination and contradictions between various councils for the implementation of the bike lane in the neighborhood of Carmen, which will delay the project

The spokesman for Citizens, Mario Gomez, has asked the mayor Ballesta to abandon doubts and pave the way to establish a real model of mobility in Murcia that does not remain in projects on paper and ads that never come to life.

"The installation of a real network of bike lanes in Murcia is essential to move towards a model of modern and sustainable municipality," said Gomez, who has lamented that in the last meeting of the Bicycle Office, the councils involved unfavorably reported of the new bike lanes raised, pending to hold a meeting with the political leaders of these services.

The subsidy could be lost

"A setback that, according to Gomez," could cause Murcia to lose more than 300,000 euros in subsidies to support this type of investment, all because of the lack of coordination and resistance to change of the PP Government. "

"For Citizens, has defended his spokesman," the project of execution of the bike lane in Floridablanca Avenue, Alameda de Colón, Calle Princesa, Puente Nuevo and connections to Murcia is a priority infrastructure and of vital importance, since it is the entrance natural to our municipality by El Palmar and the Sewer Road, lanes that should be raised once the del Carmen finished ".

In the opinion of the spokesman of Cs, "José Ballesta and his team have to internalize that the change of mobility model in Murcia goes through the bicycle, personal mobility vehicles and, of course, public transport;

and be clear that the bike network does not invade the lanes of traffic but what is reducing to combine them and that both infrastructures coexist ".

In this way, Gómez has clarified that "by reducing the vehicle lanes should look for and implement other necessary parallel infrastructures and capable of ensuring a smooth and efficient transition from the vehicle to the bicycle."

In this sense and to finish, from the orange training Ballesta have demanded that "do not delay the meeting and ask your councilors agility to convene as soon as possible, address the issue effectively and avoid losing subsidies."
