A letter to the Mayor of Valencia

Mayor Joan Ribó

1 Municipal Square

Valencia, 46002

            Dear Mayor Ribó,

            My name is Mayte Álvarez resident of Valencia. I’m writing with some complaints about traffic jams at in the town center of Valencia and about the municipal rules, which regulate the interrelations between people and animals.

I appreciate the development projects the city has taken on in the past few months, but I consider they there are two importants aspects to take into account for the municipal government team since they aren’t trivials problems.

In the first place, I want to refer to the problem of traffic jams and, from my point of view, the use excessive use of cars to get around the city. I think that some of the actions that could be considered to relieve the traffic in the city center and to reduce the pollution are to cut off the circulation in the town center allowing only the traffic to the residents and suppliers. Another of the measures would be to increase the frequency of the bus, underground and tram and to make electric bus stations in a the Parterre bus transfer to go to the town center. The electrics buses are littler smaller than the nine-diesel bus line and less polluting.

As well, it would be necessary to increase the number of bicycles and improve the route bike lane. Likewise, it’s important to finish the Central Park, with the arrival of the AVE to the center and therefore we would put an end to the separation of the city and we would recover an area very big in the town center of Valencia. I think that all the measures we carry out for to stimulate the use of public transportation will get better improve the quality of life that the city offers to their citizens.

In addition, I believe it’s necessary to take into account measures of control for the owner pet behaviour, so that they would be sanctioned in case of if they don’t pick up the poop. Besides, I think pets can use the underground for instance, setting up the last train car, by timetables and with lead and with muzzle for the risk-bearing races. Moreover, it will be very necessary to set up more gardens and green spaces that promote coexistence.

Thank you so much for your time.

Sincerely,

           Mayte Álvarez
