What Can I Use For A Substitute For Wax Strips

What's cooking in San Lorenzo road


Ieri pomeriggio si è svolto l'incontro pubblico promosso dall'Amministrazione Comunale per presentare il progetto di nuova viabilità relativo ad una parte del quartiere San Lorenzo di Ivrea. Ha presieduto l'incontro il Sindaco Carlo Della Pepa insieme con l'Assessore all'urbanistica Giovanna Codato. In the audience some of the technical representatives of the City and Municipal Police, representatives of environmental organizations, local, Ivrea Critical Mass, and many local residents.

The Mayor explained the project, there have been some work on a De Gasperi that resulted in a scratch asphalting of the road and, before proceeding with the ritracciatura lanes and car parks, the administration would like to take this' opportunity to make some changes.

In particular, the project aims to streamline all parking in via De Gasperi in order to get a space to dedicate to a bike path . This would travel the entire route a partire dall'Azienda di Promozione Turistica e giù fino alla Scuola della Fiorana. Passerebbe poi a fianco della scuola e proseguendo dritto andrebbe a sbucare a metà di via Strusiglia.

Inoltre, al fine di disincentivare il traffico di attraversamento, ma anche per offrire un maggior numero di posti auto attirando a parcheggiare lì coloro che invece parcheggiano malamente sul marciapiede di via Cascinette, tutte le vie che intersecano via De Gasperi diventerebbero anche loro a senso unico, alcune in una direzione e alcune nell'altra.
Rendere queste vie a senso unico otterrebbe anche il vantaggio di aumentare leggermente la sicurezza negli attraversamenti che la ciclabile avrebbe con esse.

L'Amministrazione Comunale ha presented a preliminary design on these unique ways to invite those present to make comments and propose changes to it, and so local residents have flared in proposing variations to the project, generally reasonable and that they were almost all accepted.

Unfortunately, as often happens, many of the proposals have been dictated by the specific needs of residents, and just kept into account aspects of more general interest. In particular the proposal to reverse the direction of the way already existing in via De Gasperi, the proposal made by some, has not been welcomed by many residents. This reversal of direction would allow quicker access to the stands: attualmente chi cerca un posteggio percorre la via in direzione del centro cittadino, evita i primi posteggi che trova liberi nella speranza di trovarne altri più avanti ma poi, non avendo trovato di meglio, ripercorre indietro via Cascinette o corso Vercelli e rientra su via De Gasperi per un secondo giro di ricerca. Istituire il senso unico nella direzione opposta consentirebbe agli automobilisti di accedere al primo colpo al posteggio libero più vicino al centro cittadino, contribuendo a ridurre il traffico in via Cascinette e corso Vercelli.

Ma, a parte queste piccole cose, sostanzialmente l'iniziativa del Comune è stata accettata volentieri. Poco si è detto della pista ciclabile, e in effetti poco c'era da dire: viene realizzata on a wide road with little traffic, does not affect the Minimum movement of cars, and still not hurt even if it is of great interest to cyclists. Why

point, I think, is precisely this: it is of great interest to cyclists.

My personal impression, I spend over there a couple of times every day, there is substantial, and we should do a study a bit 'more serious rather than relying on impressions, but it is true that for now it seems to me that cyclists use via Cascinette and Corso Vercelli, and that almost no steps to Via De Gasperi!

Certainly I understand that addressing the problem of cycling on or via Cascinette Corso Vercelli is more challenging than it Via De Gasperi, but I think it reasonable to make the cycle where people already go with the bike rather than make them from other parts and then hoping that riders will adjust them last longer their path, they will lose more time and more fatichino. If anything, the longer and circuitous route they do cars, which just hit the accelerator and it goes without sweat!

The project is presented by the City we have a path that leads to half-way Strusiglia! You all know Strusiglia away, right? You all know what is safe and pleasant for those who ride. Yes, yesterday afternoon they told us that the first section of the street Strusiglia, towards the Corso Vercelli, will finally have a sidewalk on the side facing the lawn, but then what? As a Strusiglia, right in the middle, there is a bottleneck against a house, and right there in front of you wants to go out in the lane? Why Coming from San Giovanni or Bollengo, or those coming from Cascinette should squeeze into the narrow passage to go and take the lane? Of course, someone will do, but I believe the majority will continue to walk away or Cascinette Corso Vercelli.

on the stretch of path between the school and the Tourist Board is not much to say, surely it will be used by any child who goes to school, and then is fine, but some does not solve the problem of cycling the main roads, namely via Cascinette and Corso Vercelli.

Yet the solutions to a cycle in Corso Vercelli and Cascinette being there, but solutions are difficult, and yesterday was not the place to talk about it.

Below are the designs proposed by the City, which shall be valid unless in some way contrary to what is indicated on the side streets (click on individual drawings to enlarge).
