Tuned by listening to the residents. The president of the committee: “Soon we will present it to the Municipality”
Genoa – A project created by engineers and architects, but imagined listening to the ideas and requests of citizens, to free the inhabitants of the Canepa waterfront, in Sampierdarena, from smog and noise, and to give the neighborhood new livable spaces. This is the Canepa waterfront roofing project, which the residents’ committee will present to the mayor Marco Bucci at the end of October. “It is a project that we built from the ground up, listening to citizens of all ages – says Silvia Giardella, president of the Canepa waterfront committee – Several professionals worked on it, including a structural engineer and architects, and we will present it to the mayor hoping to convince him. to make it happen “.
The committee’s battle to ask for an intervention to mitigate the impact of road traffic had already begun during the road widening works and has never stopped. Last year the committee had also organized a competition of ideas to collect proposals for covering the road which, in recent days, has experienced days of passion and traffic, with the protests against the obligation of the Green I passed the entrance gates to the port.
«What we will present to the mayor is a technical and economic feasibility study – explains Giardella – It involves the use of some prefabricated structures and, above the roof, the creation of a series of functions for sport and leisure. There is also a connection with the historic center of Sampierdarena, with a cycle-pedestrian path. And the project has the advantage of being able to be carried out in successive batches, without ever having to block traffic ». The cost has not yet been precisely defined, but according to rough estimates it would fluctuate between 20 and 30 million euros. “As citizens I think we could not have done more – underlines Giardella – Now we hope to be finally heard”. The meeting with the mayor was scheduled for today, but was then postponed to next week. In Bucci, however, the inhabitants will not only present their project.
Out of the agreement with Aspi
“We would have expected – explains Giardella – that the Canepa waterfront coverage would be included among the works financed by Autostrade per l’Italia with the agreement just signed between Autostrade, the Ministry of Infrastructure and local authorities, given that we are in a by-pass between the motorway toll booths. And, instead, we have not seen anything. We will hear what the mayor will tell us ». Precisely the exclusion of the Canepa waterfront from the agreement with Aspi was the subject of controversy in the city council, by the opposition – Pd, M5S and Crivello list – against the Bucci junta. The commissioner for public works, Pietro Piciocchi, however, has not closed the doors to the possibility that this intervention will also find space in the next stages of confrontation with Autostrade. And the city council approved last Tuesday an agenda of the Democratic Party which commits the mayor and has come to take action with Autostrade to allocate resources to the design and execution of a sound-absorbing tunnel for the Canepa waterfront. “In the meantime, we have also entered the request for 10 million European Pon Metro funds (National Metropolitan Cities Operational Program, ed.) 2021-27, precisely to create this sound-absorbing tunnel,” announced Councilor Piciocchi. The 10 million would not be enough to carry out the entire work, but it could be a first tranche to start.
