letter sent to the newspaper "The Citizen" on 03/09/2009 for the heading "Letters and opinions."
Dear Editor,
I would write in order to highlight the continuation of a very unpleasant situation, yet another, which took place at the underpass of the railway station Melegnano. To date, more than 15 days have passed since they were in the same places of the metal supports of containment needed to face a failure, it seems, part of the ceiling. Too bad that the intervention (provisional) has further narrowed down the walkway, with severe limitation for the physically handicapped who can not qualify in that part of the ward stock. But this is only one aspect of a larger problem. The neo-Pontiggia
commissioner explained that the safety of the subway will be next, wait!
The occasion of the problem is useful to remember the sad and obscene reality of this passage, subject always goes hand in hand of people cycling or even worse on motorbikes or scooters, in defiance of the prohibitions, making it even more insecure. The West Committee, an organization of which I was secretary for three years, has always pointed out the need for a more decent and safe pedestrian underpass, since the time of the junta Dolcini where was President George Marchesoni, but the administration of then did not addressed the problem. It 'obvious then that with the passage of time the situation could only worsen.
In these days between the pages of your newspaper have also seen a running dispute between local political factions on the subject but I do not understand what a citizen can import more reports in the past on such a sensitive issue. Looking at the present, citizens interested in the facts and can not expect that those who administer the city and the subway is above decent, then so enjoyable and safe. So far I do not think that these conditions have been reflected, even with the addition of center-right. Bellomo
junta praises the fact that they have at least arranged the lighting and the metallic covering of the lower ceiling of the underpass. In fact, the lighting is still lacking since the two spots that affect the side boundary with the Bianchi Via Mons are not functional and the line is dark at night. Earlier in the turn of August there were at least 4 days when the entire passage was left in complete darkness to prevent citizens of the district through the night. As for the metal cover designed to prevent stagnation of rain water is insufficient for the same this winter as soon as the rain was more abundant in the swamp near the drain effect was inevitable.
This is not to say that the solution to the problem is something much less simple inexpensive, far from it. We must consider that fact to create a serious and substantial action remake of the municipality must relate to and agree with another person, the owner of the property, which is the State Railways Group. At the national interest but the will to address the issue and resolve it, do not continue to put a patch or a patch as we continue to do.
The subway is the only way of communication between the area west of Melegnano and its center, but also a meeting place for all commuters melegnanesi and neighboring countries who go to the station to reach the capital. It is therefore an area crossed by people assiduously and its usability can not and should not be continually put at risk. I do not want to face conversations related to differences in treatment of peripheral and central as the issue does not relate to the station area but the entire city.
In the center of town are now redoing the flooring in porphyry figures (I guess) mind-boggling, if we think that we will resume in a few years to assist the hopping of the cobblestones as the passage will remain open to vehicular traffic seems a little work functional and very expensive! Continuing along the Via Zouaves was completed in the same style to its height of the underpass, with a drop of two cm in the middle but that has not yet been leveled. In this continuity is the fact that there is a subway very embarrassing. Yet the two works cited a belief that he deserved more attention, I would say more important than the conditions prevailing in many years. Expect that the FS will wake up with the arrival of the railway seems to me the question again postpone indefinitely.
But you know, my manager, that logic is not always the prerogative of the policy. Sincerely.
