Tuesday yet another episode; car queued for 45 minutes before reopening For the regional councilor two will disappear soon, but for now all is silent
STRAMBINO
The inconveniences for motorists in transit continue, blocked by the long and incomprehensible waiting times, caused to vehicular traffic by the lowered bars of the level crossing that precedes, on the side towards Ivrea, the Strambino station.
The last, very long wait in order of time imposed on the dozens of Strambino motorists, who were blocked on both sides of the station level crossing, on Tuesday. It remained lowered from 9.10 to 9.55. For the umpteenth time.
Among the angry motorists, the driver of the replacement bus of the State Railways bound for Chivasso was also blocked, naturally late on his schedule, like everyone else. One of the blocked motorists explained that the bars were finally raised only after his phone call to the emergency number indicated by the State Railways. While the inconvenience for motorists continues, there is still no news on the recent announcement made in the regional council by the councilor Marco Gabusi, in response to the question of the Canavese regional councilor of the Pd Alberto Avetta, on the suppression of level crossings on the Chivasso railway line. Ivrea – Aosta. Among the 49 level crossings to be suppressed on the line, two in the municipal area of Strambino are indicated as priorities. The regional councilor spoke of concrete steps forward for the suppression.
For now it is only words: the technical office and the local administrators of Strambino have not yet received any communication on the matter and that they have not been involved in any way in the preparation of the project, which must obviously be shared and approved by the Municipality. . It has not yet been made known even which would be the two level crossings that would initially be suppressed among the seven present in the municipality of Strambinese.
“The Piedmont Region – commented the regional councilor of the Pd Alberto Avetta – should constantly keep informed and involve all the Municipalities interested in the interventions to suppress their respective level crossings, with which the projects must be shared that must be approved by the bodies interested premises “.
An unconfirmed hypothesis indicates the priority of the level crossing of via Verdi which connects the state road 26 to the Cerone hamlet, which has already been the subject of dangerous disservices and repeated inconveniences due to long closing times and the consequent blocking of vehicular traffic. . The second level crossing to be eliminated as a matter of priority could be that of via Cotonificio, after the Strambino railway station, towards Chivasso, adjacent to the Strambino market area. This level crossing is regularly crossed, as well as by motorists heading towards the hamlets of Crotte and Carrone, by the numerous pedestrians who move every Thursday morning, not without danger even with the bars lowered, from one side of the market area to the other. Strambinese weekly. –
