CATALONIA BARCELONA OR LOOK FOR POLLUTION They are the least shocking attitudes of recent days, both from the Servei Català de Transit and from the council, with respect to the serious air pollution in Barcelona.
From Transit, which has removed the speed limit of 80km / h at the entrance to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bhave been very upset that the environment minister has criticized this step backwards. Rosa Aguilar say no "moral authority" to criticize the increased speed limit.
and looping the loop, from the city of Barcelona have ruled out reducing traffic within the city, even for a few days, despite the serious problem of pollution that cross week and a half ago. Precisely
CEO of Environmental Quality, Assumpta Farran, had recommended the measure.
and I have been criticizing in private car Barcelona is the king of the streets, freely moving thousands of cars every morning with only one occupant can use public transportation, and streets such as Aragon, Meridiana, Diagonal and Gran Via are authentic macroautopistas where simply walking involves a high risk to the lungs.
But it's over, having unprecedented levels of pollution, the council refuses to take action, it is more than insulting.
And as a final note, it sounds like a joke, since the session have left some ridiculous proposals for the coming years, such as creating miniparadas of taxis in the city for these vehicles circulating walk hunt awaiting customers. Now it will be that the blame for all the pollution of Barcelona lies on the taxis ... they still account for 10% of vehicles crowding the city.
