BOLZANO. For the “noise-defying” cars, checks have been launched. Signed: Fire Department Command. It is for the noise-defying vehicles, however, that Bolzano seems like a no man’s land. Bulldozers, asphalt-ripping crawler vehicles, trucks of all shapes and sizes, horns for excavators. And yet, as with the municipal ordinance at the basis of the new crackdown on ear-splitting vehicles, there should also be an ear-saving protocol for construction sites, especially if the activities take place at dawn.
The city is thus crushed by three attacks: tourists, with traffic and queues everywhere; the works
road accidents, widespread everywhere and at all hours. And finally the heat: «It is possible that with these temperatures
rature decide to lay down boiling asphalt?”, objected a woman in the center while she was gasping in the sun in the middle of smoking bitumen. In reality there was a way out. It had been taken by the deputy mayor Stephan Konder when he decided to move some construction sites to the night – from 7 pm until after midnight – including the very invasive one
Of via Weggenstein. Nothing.
A few days later, the asphalt-ripping crawler appeared with its vibrations shortly after dawn, forcing cars into endless queues, which were in turn suffocated by the one-way traffic at a recorded temperature of 35 degrees and a perceived temperature of around 40. In Garibaldi Street the construction site occupies the central sector of the axis with continuous noise and work. Since the tourist flow is very intense these days, the entire quadrant that rotates around the central urban penetration routes is subjected to very strong pressure. Excavations also in the middle of Piazza Walther between walkways without
oxygen to pass along via Alto Adige and guests squeezed between the new bulldozers that have appeared in the middle of the flower-filled benches in front of the Duomo. Continuous excavations also in via Fago which for the sixth consecutive summer is partially closed to traffic. Residents, motorists and cyclists exasperated («we don’t know where to go») also for the construction sites of via Roma. In short, protests are raining down from everywhere. One came from the intersection between via Zara and viale Venezianew city. «In the red-hot boiler of Bolzano, all we needed was the noise – says Maria Teresa Fortini – with one hundred decibels fired at 6.20 in the morning by the Seab blowers.
The morning bad mood of the inhabitants is great”. And the former 5 Star municipal councilor evokes the times, “when in the Municipality there was discussion about banning useless noises and there was talk of placing limits on the use of these polluting means both from the point of view of fine dust and deafening noise.
you. A question to the mayor and deputy mayor: where did the regulation on the use of these “urban disturbance machines” go? Didn’t it say not to use them before 7 in the morning?” So there is a theme these days: the hours of the works such as, combined with the heat, are getting on the nerves of legions of Bolzano residents, forced to keep their windows closed in the only hours in which the air could cool – or better yet, not heat up further – the rooms, namely immediately after dawn. But that’s exactly when the engines start up. The same combination of scorching heat and invasive construction sites, between via Fago, now blocked for months, and the junction via Segantini-Pacher-Knoller where the automatic hammers have started to resonate early in the morning for the construction of the pedestrian and cycle path. Palermo Street It is also suffocated by heat and construction sites for laying asphalt after the installation of underground infrastructure. Perhaps the summer – these summers of climate transition are no longer ideal for work between the houses. Of course, I do not know.
no daytime hours. P.CA.
