The Socialist Municipal Group of Valladolid City Hall has indicated that three months before the end of the year, the meter of the Paseo Isabel La Católica cycle path exceeds and the figure of 400,000 thousand steps of cyclists and scooters. Exactly 425,000.
These data, according to the socialists, reveal “the usefulness of this infrastructure” and underline that the meter “it will be destroyed by the PP and Vox government team” to “replace it with another route that will cross the green spaces of Las Moreras and La Rosaleda”.
The government team emphasizes that this counter “will not be deleted”. We will have to wait to find out where it is located after the work.
The Municipal Socialist Group emphasizes that “these figures are proof of the progress recorded in Valladolid in terms of sustainable mobility” and “especially when traveling by bicycle, as confirmed by the gauge published on March 12, 2021.”
“Unfortunately for citizens, this cycle path will be removed and instead of bicycles, cars will circulate in this space,” says Luis Vélez.
The socialist councilor underlines the “error” represented by this decision by the PP and Vox government team.
“Currently there is no traffic problem and therefore it is not justified.” Furthermore, he adds that the removal of the current cycle path of Paseo Isabel La Católica and its “transformation into a lane reserved for vehicles goes against European Union directives”.
For the Municipal Socialist Group, in practice it is a “double error »: the destruction of the current cycle path and the start-up another route on the green space of Las Moreras and La Rosaleda, which will cost 1 million euros.
“An unnecessary expense, a waste», concludes Luis Vélez.
