Piazza della Scala, 2
20121 - Milano (MI)
Egr. Dr. Giuseppe Sala, in let I my most sincere congratulations for the election to the highest office town, I wish you a fruitful work aimed at the development of Milan.
As a citizen, I had to rate it twice, trusting His closeness to the principles and the spirit of the EXPO 2015. For this reason, I would like to ask you a particular focus on green issues, degradation, transport and culture.
First of all, in these summer months, is the problem of the balance between green and urbanization, because the urban heat rule. The summer heat is certainly a natural situation. It is exacerbated, however, by the huge road area of the city. Asphalt that, as well known, is transformed into an oven in the open air.
In this regard, I ask you to continue in the excellent work of alberizzazione started, putting away the avenues most exposed to the sun.
On the issue of degradation, Le represent the emblematic fact that in Cathedral Square and the surrounding streets are often some homeless. That fact is definitely a thorn in the heart of Milan, which compromises both the expectations of both the livability.
It is evident that the city, which aspires to become the Italian international center, would hold a least ambiguous position, if it failed to provide a temporary place of residence to the homeless and not prevented from living in a state of misery, even more so in the old Town.
On public transport, it is necessary to reduce direct glare on ecological sustainability and health. It is true that much has already been done with the introduction of Area C, with BikeMi and with various incentives to use public transport, in order to put a viable alternative to urban motor traffic. However, the question is still open for the movement of residents and commuters of the province.
On this point, I The reveal of owning the ATM urban subscription, which I use to always move in the city and I want to make it compulsory to all, even in order to reduce the price and improve the service.
On my occasional open road, however, I admit to still prefer the car. The reason for the choice is the fact that most of the rail links and buses are inaccessible after 20.00, as well as poor attendance ...
Last but not least, we could discuss at length whether it is a state responsibility, regional or citizen promote culture and make it accessible to all the education. The fact is that Milan is distinguished by education and also be in the vanguard in the realization of cultural events.
In this regard, I wish to be able to develop the sense of citizenship and respect for institutions.
It is known that the task of managing Milano is difficult for cuts and for the incautious rationalizations. However, the optimization of the services remains an unavoidable passage for growth and for the development.
The City's House: It is more comfortable more is shared proudly.With the hope of a fruitful collaboration between government and citizens, With best wishes.
Umberto F. M. Cefalà
