In early September, nine mayors from the Lariana and Triangolo Lariano regions issued a formal protest regarding severe traffic disruptions caused by the closure of the Como lakefront for drainage system maintenance. The mayors described the resulting delays, which reached up to 150 minutes, as “delirious” and raised concerns regarding public safety for ambulances and medical patients.

By late September, local tensions shifted toward the management of tourist bus congestion. Residents in Como reported issues with urban hygiene and liquid spills on via Regina Teodolinda caused by parked buses. These complaints are linked to a lack of parking infrastructure and an ongoing legal dispute between the municipality and San Giovanni Srl concerning the reopening of a local parking lot.
