The spokesman for United We Can (UP) in Santa Cruz, Ramón Trujillo, yesterday described the revision of the capital’s Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (PMUS) as “unsustainable”, since, according to the mayor, it is full of contradictions, to the time that the deadlines established to implement measures such as bus lanes are already late. According to Trujillo, “the SUMP review document does not address the urgency and the necessary measures to modify the magnitude of the mobility problem in the capital with sufficient intensity.”
The UP spokesman pointed out that measures such as the Low Emissions Zone, in practice, “will only reduce traffic in the center of the capital by 5%, a clearly insufficient percentage.” In addition, “it is planned to create more than 6,000 underground parking spaces, which will be an attraction factor for cars”. UP will present this Friday to the Plenary a motion to modify the revision of the SUMP, streamlining the bus lanes.
