The spokesman for IU-Greens in the city of Murcia, Esther Herguedas, today called on the mayor, Miguel Ángel Cámara, relieving the Councilman Traffic and Transportation, Javier Iniesta, before the "fraud" of the proposed Plan on Urban Mobility Sustainable (PMUS).
To Herguedas, the proposed Iniesta, to be presented in the full council next Thursday, "is neither sustainable nor solves the problems of mobility and is not even municipal, as only concerned the village, leaving out the districts ".
The mayor has indicated that the plan has a "fundamental problem" that has been prepared without discussion or consensus, since no citizen, social or political organization has participated in the drafting of the new project.
"Iniesta and his team have worked alone and solo will take it forward," said Herguedas, who said "even more serious" that has been produced without coordination with the Autonomous Region, responsible with the City map of municipal public transport .
In his view, the PMUS "simply take the previous plan, developed by a company, and cut the map of the town, eliminating the districts and keeping only the village."
"With this, the council assumes answered the bulk of the allegations made by neighborhood and civic associations that influenced precisely in intercity transport problems, which do not come because now their transport problems are no longer part of the plan."
Herguedas believes that "little will change in urban mobility with the implementation of this plan and some things will even get worse."
As for public transport, has said that the PMUS "simply recognizes existing lines both buses municipal contracts and as the tram," while "as park and ride lots that are already serving collected for this use and all you intend to do is fix the town hall and start charge for its use. "
According to the councilor, "the novelty of the Plan, which is to implement a system of heat exchangers to prevent the passage of all lines through the center of Murcia, is intended to not implement a system of general bond, newspaper, valid for all transport, because this formula is not in the provisions of this plan. "
This will mean that "the residents of villages who want to get to the center of Murcia will have to take two transport systems necessarily pay two bills."
Also explained that the PMUS "tram is the structural axis, something absolutely crazy as the current design does not structure anything because only serving new developments yet to come and the future tram from the center is a chimera for its high cost. "
"Nor answers are given to the necessary intermodality with cycling: the only solution proposed in the plan are the Bicycle Ride facilities outside next to public transport," she added.
For IU-Greens, "Iniesta once again demonstrated its inability to respond to citizens' needs in transport and management since it began Murcia is worse and more expensive transportation," and therefore considers that "it is time for Camera relieve him of this responsibility and take the lead of someone more competent this council. "
