Following requests from residents to the municipality, through the General Coordination of Mobility, the administration of mayor Enrique Cresto continues to provide responses regarding the installation of speed bumps.
In this regard, personnel from the area under the Secretariat of Government and Treasury led by Aldo Álvarez, finished the installation work of speed bumps on G. Cresto and Presidente Illia streets in the vicinity of the Club Hípico Concordia.
The objective of this new installation was to reduce vehicle speed to decrease the danger at the intersection of a highly trafficked artery and to ensure the movement of horses from the equestrian sector. Signage was also installed.
In this regard, Natalia López, an equestrian instructor at the Club Hípico Concordia, expressed her gratitude for the response received from the municipality for the placement of the speed bumps. “We are grateful because it is something we have been waiting for for a long time, and thanks to the good will of the corresponding areas, it was able to be carried out,” she stated.
“The club has more than 40 horses that are moved on weekdays. Furthermore, the logistics are much broader when there are competitions. We had a lot of difficulty when moving from one sector to another because cars would not stop. Now, with this measure, we can do it more calmly and safely,” she remarked.
In addition, she valued that “since the procedure was initiated, the municipality showed interest in solving this problem. We had a lot of difficulty with the issue of traffic not stopping; many people passed behind the horses without knowing the danger, even for the cars that were circulating.”
It should be noted that the municipality continues to work on the installation of speed bumps, delineators, and road elements for traffic management in different parts of the city, within the framework of the traffic reorganization and road element renewal program that was launched during the administration of mayor Enrique Cresto.
