The street Gran Colombia will be returned to traffic today in the hands of a mobility plan that will change the rules for driving on a stretch of seven blocks, which will become the pattern for the operation of the tram.
This portion includes the Gran Colombia between the street Luis Cordero and Huayna Capac, travel avenue which apply today a number of restrictions for safety reasons and for citizens to assimilate the future presence of the tram.
Reducing the maximum speed restrictions for the connection between the Great Colombia and the cross streets and traffic ban on heavy vehicles or transit on the streetcar rails are some of the measures taken by the Municipal Transit Authority.
The director of the municipal office, Fernando Salazar, said the new rules "are not written in stone," so they can be modified if conditions warrant.
Mayor Marcelo Cabrera coincided with this criterion. "We're going to get all the arguments that can give us the frentistas for us are valuable inputs and are open to talk to people," he said.
Modifications
The street Gran Colombia is divided into four spaces, two to the right and left sidewalks, one of exclusive use of the tram and another for vehicles whose circulation is reduced to a single lane.
The division was marked yesterday with yellow lines, but there is no architectural barrier that delimits the spaces of the single platform.
To prevent accidents the Municipal Transit Authority reduced the maximum speed allowed on this road at 20 kilometers per hour.
"This allows us drivers have a longer response time behind the wheel to the unexpected," Salazar said.
restrictions
Although the opening to traffic officially comprises seven blocks, vehicles will have direct access to only five of them since at the intersection of Gran Colombia and Luis Cordero still do not finish the work and is prohibited from entering the stretch between Borrero and Hermano Miguel .
Once you enter the Gran Colombia will not be able to make turns to the streets Mariano Cueva and Tomas Ordonez. Access to Brother Miguel and Manuel Vega is on analysis and depend on the behavior of traffic.
the transit of heavy vehicles and parking areas have been eliminated will not be allowed. civilian traffic agents will be located along this section to verify that no violations are committed.
In addition Tram Project staff will travel seven blocks to be returned to traffic in the Great Colombia to provide information on changes and respond to the queries and complaints frentistas, drivers and pedestrians. (JPM) (I)
