Reaching the health center and the swimming pool on Via Lombardia on foot, or taking a walk to enjoy the green spaces of the former mountain community will no longer be a risk: in Capoterra, work has finally begun to provide sidewalks on one of the most dangerous stretches of road in the town center.
The work, which cost 90 thousand euros , will make it possible to secure the connection between via Amendola and via Lombardia, offering citizens the possibility of moving around on foot in complete safety .
The mayor, Beniamino Garau , explains how the works had been awaited for years by residents of the area, but also by the many people who use the services present in via Lombardia: «The work comes after the downgrading to municipal of the provincial road that crosses that stretch of Capoterra, without this step we would never have been able to invest resources to carry out these works . That road is traveled daily by many people, it was not tolerable that women with strollers or elderly people heading towards the health center of via Lombardia constantly risked their safety because of the cars that whiz by at all hours».
The municipal swimming pool, the RSA, the REMS, and – when the renovation of the premises is completed – the vaccination center and the medical guard: via Lombardia is considered an area rich in services.
"Furthermore - Garau emphasizes -, the road allows you to reach a neighborhood where many families live, from now on it will no longer be a problem to reach the green lung of Capoterra on foot, frequented every day by many people. In that area, in addition to the work for the construction of the sidewalks, we have started an intervention to create a small playground in an area that hosted waste and even the carcasses of burned cars".
Silvia Sorgia, deputy mayor and councilor for Public Works , assures that other interventions to make the streets in the area safe will be added to the sidewalks that connect via Amendola - on the corner with the Achille Boero nursery school - to via Lombardia: «The work we are carrying out is very important and solves a problem that citizens have been reporting to us for some time, however there are other areas where we intend to intervene, such as the neighborhood located above the cemetery . Furthermore, the work on via Dei Genovesi will be fundamental and will start soon, thanks to which the entire area will be equipped with sidewalks and lighting».
