Esther Nevado: "Filling our crosswalks with messages 'Mr. Wonderful' does not protect our schoolchildren" (27/08/2020)

The socialist councilor Esther Nevado disfigures Rebeca Pérez who uses street maintenance work to appear in the headlines instead of innovating or focusing on actions in other cities to bring the best initiatives to our municipality This week Rebeca Pérez, Councilor for Sustainable Mobility of the Murcia City Council, appeared in numerous media announcing measures to improve signage and road safety for schoolchildren in our municipality in the face of Covid-19.

Esther Nevado, Socialist councilor, after analyzing the different actions that Pérez is going to implement, regrets "the lack of originality and innovation of the councilor, who seems to me to have been more aware of appearing in the photo than of seeking solutions that the schoolchildren of the municipality need to go to their schools by safe routes where social distancing is respected and crowds are avoided.

" For the socialist mayor "painting messages on the zebra crossings or repainting those that are deteriorated should not be news.

They are simple maintenance tasks that should be part of the day to day, or is it that the maintenance of our zebra crossings is necessary? It has been so from time to time that at the time it takes place you have to announce it with great fanfare? " Likewise, Councilor Nevado regrets that "measures that have been used in cities around the world for years, such as microspheres in zebra crossings, are something newsworthy for Rebeca Pérez.

She uses the technicality as a trickster.

Yes to the team of The government thinks this is great news and the councilor is happy, even calling the local petty officer to celebrate, because we have a real problem.

" Nevado believes that we need innovation for a real transformation of the municipality.

"Not on a whim, but because the situation forces us to do so," he argues.

For this reason, for the socialist mayor what we need are "prepared councilors who are capable of adapting to the situations that are to come.

Unfortunately, we have a short-sighted councilor, with little world, who should focus on actions that are undertaken in other cities to bring the best initiatives to our municipality ". For her part, Esther Nevado proposes "creating safe routes to schools so that children can go to school on foot, on a skateboard or by bicycle.

Something that will seem like science fiction to Pérez but that is perfectly feasible both in districts and in In fact, we can facilitate this access by carrying out tactical urban planning interventions, something very cheap and that could improve access to schools while limiting traffic, making these accesses safer.

" "We boast of modernity, and of a smart city and the best thing that we can think of to facilitate access to schools is to repaint the signs that are deteriorated and minimally enlarge the zebra crossings.

We boast of being a child-friendly city but we are not capable to roll up our sleeves and get to work to improve the quality of life of the children of our municipality.

Irresponsibility should not be news, nor a reason to brag about anything ", Nevado concludes.
