Detailed description (English): For many years, the development of our village was made around the use of cars and the related needs.
Now, it is enough, and we want to stop it ! There is too much air pollution!
We used to say that 'they' - meaning other people transiting through our village in their cars - are the main cause of our transportation problem. They, not us. But that is not true. We have also been part of the problem and we want to change it now!
We intend to stop building space around us, just for car usage. Although some main roads will remain for the cars, we want to give all other streets back to people, back to us. Our focus is on children attending elementary school and kinder gardens and their parents.
We intend to reduce the increasing phenomenon of 'mama-taxi' (parents driving their children to school) by showing children and their parents its drawbacks: safety hazards for children in front of the school or kinder garden related not only to crash injuries, but also health concerns caused by air pollution.
We want to seek the opportunities to improve the infrastructure for children and all other people using alternative modes of transport. We will start our EUROPEAN MOBILITY WEEK with a public debate with all concerned people of our village. We will continue with an individual program for the school and the kinder gardens. And we will finish with a mass cycling campaign during the weekend.
Detailed description (original language): Rozvoj našej obce bol v ostatných rokoch zameraný tak, aby primárne vyhovoval individuálnej automobilovej doprave. Cesty a križovatky sú široké, nebezpečné pre ľudí, autá parkuje všade, vodiči často porušujú predpisy. Už stačí. Máme dosť znečistené životné prostredie. Našim problémom nie sú len tie autá, ktoré našou obcou len prechádzajú. Sme to aj my. Vozíme deti v autách do školy, chodíme v autách nakupovať či za oddychom. Musíme to zmeniť.
Prestaňme podriaďovať rozvoj našej obce autám. Nechajme im len zopár hlavných ťahov a ostatné ulice si prebudujme tak, aby vyhovovali ľuďom. Začnime sa po obci presúvať peši, na bicykloch, kolobežkách či korčuliach. Zastavme dovážanie detí do škôl a škôlok autom (tzv- mama-taxi), je to nebezpečné. Zvyšuje to riziko zrážky detí s autom ale aj ťažkého znečistenia ovzdušia.
Hľadajme spolu možnosti zlepšenia dopravnej infraštruktúry pre deti a všetkých ostatných, ktorí sú ochotní používať nemotorové druhy dopravy. Náš Európsky týždeň mobility začneme práve debatou na túto tému, na ktorej sa môže zúčastniť ktokoľvek z našej obce. Počas týždňa sa zameriame na školu a škôlky. Program zakončíme víkendovou masovou cyklojazdou.
