Li avrete visti anche voi, da qualche giorno girano per Ivrea. Finalmente anche da Traffic police make us cyclists.
would be nice, but let us have no illusions: I do not think that the decision that the traffic police have taken in Ivrea, to have a bicycle, is in some way be connected with the insistent promotion of bicycle use that we are ahead of us. Of course this is surprising, however, coincide: we begin a determined campaign to promote them and see if you equip bicycles.
And then, to understand better, I went to interview the commander of the traffic police of Ivrea, who has been very kind to me, and the chat we did I realized how did this thing.
*****
Taking the opportunity of the invitation provincial "Integrated Security", Ivrea has started the project "Bike in the vicinity." Someone maybe already noticed: a few days a couple of traffic police patrols to use the beautiful new bicycles to do their jobs around the city.
"Being closer to citizens, provide an unmediated presence in the area on the car," these are the principles that led Maurice Fortin, commander of the Municipal Police in Ivrea, to establish the service.
"The old town is normally guarded by patrols on foot and on the whole rest of our trips usually take place in cars. But they are traveling in direct, through rapids to reach a specific destination. The introduction of the service by bicycle instead wants to provide a service throughout the intermediate and in areas difficult to reach by car, including public parks and green areas. "
The use of bicycles in the city, which in years was significantly decreased, then returns to show its positive side. Not only the master Fortin thinks so, but we also believe the 7 agents who have volunteered to perform the service, who are convinced of the reasons behind this project.
But Fortin is well, and adds to the reasons of public safety service and also the arguments of sustainable mobility and environmentally, "How many other cities of the plain Ivrea also suffers from air pollution problems, and move on to cycling by For our part means not only set a good example, but also do something concrete, albeit small, to reduce emissions. "
And again stresses that we must gradually create a cultural shift, reverse the situation, make the city pedestrian and cycling, leaving the car can continue to go wherever they want, but feeling of "intruders", feeling out of place. And so we welcome structural measures on the roads, where steps pedonali rialzati, rotonde e arredo urbano abbassano la velocità e rendono più vivibile e sicura la città.
Questi interventi non saranno immediati, purtroppo come sempre bisogna fare i conti con le disponibilità finanziarie, ma sicuramente l'utilizzo della bicicletta da parte dei Vigili Urbani gli permetterà di rendersi immediatamente conto di quali siano i punti critici ai quali dare priorità, e la già oggi valida collaborazione con l'Ufficio Tecnico Comunale consentirà di intervenire al meglio.
Per noi ciclisti che utilizziamo quotidianamente la bici per spostarci in città è perciò ottima la notizia che da oggi abbiamo anche i Vigili Urbani a condividere con noi gioie e dolori dell'uso della bici!
