Sala, less than 400,000 cars enter Area B a day

“Less than 400,000 cars enter area B a day”. This was explained by the mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, replying to the controversy of the Lombard councilor for transport and sustainable mobility, Franco Lucente, who yesterday underlined that after eight months on the limited traffic area which corresponds almost to the whole city, there is no ‘is no data. “To date, we don’t know how many citizens have changed cars – added Sala on the sidelines of the Piano City presentation -, because if they changed cars from an environmental point of view, it’s a success. Furthermore, if we hadn’t made Area B, the situation would be even worse “. Councilor Lucente “in a somewhat funny way made his secretariat say ‘if the mayor wants to talk to me, come to Palazzo Lombardia’. I’m not shocked but I find it a bit strange – he added -, because Lucente has a counterpart who cannot ignore that it is the city councilor for Mobility Arianna Censi. This is how things work, I talk to Fontana, he talks to the councilor Censi “. Sala clarified that the data that has been disclosed on entrances to Area B “does not correspond to reality”. The Greens in the City Council, with the group leader Carlo Monguzzi, are very critical of the effectiveness of the limited traffic zone: “with respect to this apparent common view between Carlo Monguzzi and councilor Lucente if they think that Area B should be transformed into a congestion charge , they say it.

Let them come to the City Council and say it – he concluded -. But why do they continue to use newspapers? Their analyzes are not based on reality. I am absolutely certain that Area B has got off to a good start from an environmental point of view and I absolutely defend the work that has been done”.
