All week
Planning and improving a Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) is a hard task for smaller municipalities, even in consideration of the difficulties in organizing an efficient public transport system at provincial (LAU-1) level.
Given these considerations, our activities are particularly devoted to raising public awareness about the value of the Po embankment (which connect the community seat with the two main other villages of the territory) as a vector for the improvement of sustainable mobility. Furthermore, the Po embankment is already included in Eurovelo Network (route n°8) and some other regional initiatives. Anyway, the embankment has not been completely closed to the vehicles transit in the past.
Thus, in conclusion, our actions will be particularly devoted to:
1. raising public awareness on the value of Po river's environment and cultural landscape, as well on sustainable and pleasant mobility (in particular as regard to the embankment road), also thanks to the events of the "Vivere il Po" ("Living Po river") initiative (which will be held from Sept. 14th to Sept. 18th), such as:
- art exhibitions in emblematic places on the Po river;
- documentary projections on the river environment and landscape;
- bike and kayak parallel trips;
- workshop on the network of cycling paths on the embankments;
- workshops on cultural landscapes, in order to favour a consciousness fruition of the territory, in line with the principles of European Landscape Convention (Florence, Oct. 20th 2000);
2. closing the embankment road to vehicle transit from Sept. 14th to Sept. 22nd, in view of a complete closure in 2013;
3. closing to vehicle transit the main places of the town on Sept. 22nd, for the initiative “In town without my car”.
