Alicia Morales said that "the Observatory of the Bicycle takes half a year without meeting" and warns that it is "very symptomatic that is not working rigorously and having collective nor the opposition"

NOW MURCIA regrets that more than a year of government Ballesta "the municipality has not improved the least in urban and sustainable mobility, and we continue to have exactly the same shortcomings and problems, which are many, that when the legislature began".

Councillor and spokesman of the municipal formation, Alicia Morales, complained that "in this area, as in others, Ballesta and his team move based advertising and anecdotes but very few actual measurements, so the neighbors do not enjoy any improvement".

The mayor said that "most worrying is no longer very little has been done in mobility, but the absence of projects for the situation to be reversed in the remainder of the term. We fear it's a lost legislature in an area which the municipality is far behind compared to other of our own country, so we can not lose even more ground and definitely stay in the caboose. "

Morales stressed that the city "has many serious shortcomings within urban mobility, so it is necessary to have a serious government which should address these needs, instead of celebrating anecdotal events like hunting Pokémon on wheels. The Murcia improvements deserve real and tangible. "

Councilwoman also points out the contradiction "the mayor says that this activity is done to raise awareness among young people to turn their attention to the environment and not on mobile devices while circulating. It is so contradictory that seems a joke" .

The mayor said that "pedestrians and bicycle users and public transport suffer daily the lack of serious work on mobility, with a municipality without sidewalks in many districts, with an expensive and inefficient public transport, with a tram which costs 10 million euros a year, with almost no bike lanes, with a very poor transport between the center and the districts, with bad combinations in bus services, without there intermodality, among other issues. "

Morales also expressed surprise that the Observatory of the Bicycle has not met since half a year ago, "which shows zero interest PP to work rigorously on the issue of mobility as well as to receive ideas and advice collective and opposition. "

At the last meeting of the Observatory of the Bicycle, now Murcia presented its proposals for the draft bike lanes, focusing mainly on two aspects: a clear timetable for when to do this plan and what budget account is set to that the project will not run again only on paper (the Director of the bike Plan is six years) and clarification as planned intermodality and the relationship of bicycles with public transport.
