Como Democratic Party protests bicycle restrictions in historic center
The Democratic Party (PD) in Como has announced a protest for September 12 against a recent municipal decree that restricts bicycle and scooter use in the city's historic center. The measure, approved by the Rapinese administration on August 5, requires users to walk their vehicles through approximately thirty streets and squares in the Città Murata area.
In opposition to the ban, the PD has presented a ten-point alternative plan for light mobility. Key proposals include stricter enforcement and sanctions for illegal e-bikes that exceed legal power and speed limits, rather than implementing a blanket ban. The plan also suggests maintaining freedom of movement for compliant vehicles, establishing dedicated delivery windows for commercial vehicles in restricted zones, and implementing flexible control systems based on real-time congestion and signage.
